Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:

Hi Marco, I have started to cover live events like sports, concerts, and festivals in my area. I really enjoy doing this kind of photography and want to grow this into a part-time business. But with the fast-paced news cycle, I have realized that you need to be the first one sending the photos out in order to be picked up by relevant media outlets. But shooting and at the same time importing, sorting, and post-processing the images with my MacBook Pro is currently way too slow. How do you do it and what are your suggestions for a speedy workflow on the go?

I am currently transitioning from being a hobby photographer to a part-time pro photographer and want to eventually switch to be a full-time photographer. As a hobby photographer, my friends and relatives always asked me to bring my camera and take portraits or document a wedding for free. But as they are my starting customer base in this transition, how can I manage to now charge them for the photos that they are used to get for free? Thanks for the wonderfully diverse photo podcasts that you produce each month!

Question from: Camilla, Göteborg, Sweden

I'm a wedding photographer and currently use a Nikon D500 (APS-C) with two memory card slots (SD+XQD). I have been waiting for the release of the new Nikon mirrorless camera and want to add it as a FF body for it's quieter operation without mirror noise and better ISO, DOF and live view AF performance. But as many reviewers have already noted, the Z6 only has one XQD memory card slot. As a wedding photographer who can not repeat to shoot a wedding day, I am very afraid of losing images when I only have one card slot in the camera. Is this a valid fear or is this just gear hysteria?

More Gear Show #17 | PPN | New Nikon Z6 and Z7 mirrorless cameras - our thoughts - with Mathieu Gasquet Aug 30, 2018

Show notes

Nikon has finally entered the serious mirrorless camera market with two new full frame cameras - the Nikon Z6 and Z7.

This is actually pretty exciting news for the world of mirrorless photography and Sony now has a serious competitor in this segment. But will the new Nikon cameras stop current FF DSLR shooters from flocking over into the Sony a7 and a9 camp?

For an in-depth discussion about the new Nikon Z6 and Z7 and their advantages and disadvantages in comparison to the respective Sony cameras, Marco has invited back mirrorless camera expert Mathieu Gasquet (Mat) co-founder of Mirrorlessons.com. Mat was at the Nikon Z press event in London and shares his hands-on experience with the new cameras.

Marco announced that the collaborative street photography book: "Streetfotografie made in Germany" is now shipping. Marco is one of the authors and has written the introduction to this book. The book is currently available only in German and can be ordered at

Camera and Inspiration #17 | PPN | Stunning landscape photography with Nick Page Aug 23, 2018

Show notes

Landscape photography - how to capture amazing images of nature that captivate the viewer - with Nick Page.

This is episode #17 of the Camera and Inspiration show at "PPN - Photo Podcast Network" for August 2018.

This episode is sponsored by:

and

http://www.shainblumphoto.com

Nick is a pro photographer for sports & concerts and an amazing landscape photographer from Washington State. He also travels the world talking and teaching photography on his workshops. Some of our listeners may already know his online tutorials about landscape photography. And last but not least he is also a fellow podcast host and can be heard on "The Landscape Photography Podcast."

Nick shares his interesting and surprisingly recent career start as a pro photographer and gives great advice on how you can excel at what you do if you spend your time wisely on learning a craft or skill.

Chris picked Michael Shainblum as the PPN inspirational photographer of the month. Michael is a truly amazing landscape, timelapse and aerial photographer based in San Francisco. He is an artist and a successful commercial photographer and has worked for clients including Nike, Apple, Google, and Samsung. Check out his stunning timelapse videos and landscape photos on his website:

In the main part of the show, Nick and Marco discuss how to capture amazing landscape images that captivate the viewer and Nick shares great tips on how to: prepare for a shoot, select a location, chase the weather, frame interesting shots, which focal length to use, and much more.

Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month:

"Ansel Adams: 400 Photographs"

Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2w4Vc3j

B&H: https://bhpho.to/2BK09nA

Marco thinks that this is a book that belongs in a photo book collection because Ansel Adams was one of the greatest photographers of all times. But also because it chronologically shows his development as an artist. You can see how over time he looked into photographing different subjects like people, architecture, and plants but he never lost the passion for his nature landscape photos in B&W. And it shows i.e. different interpretations of Half Dome photos over the decades.

The book has 440 pages and weighs 4.4 pounds or about 2kg.

We Shoot Mirrorless #17 | PPN | XF10, Nikon FF camera, Wide and Tele lenses, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, and more Aug 16, 2018

Show notes

Fuji XF10, Nikon FF camera, Wide and Tele lenses, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic are some of the topics that Marco and Mat discuss on episode #17 of the "We Shoot Mirrorless" podcast for August 2018.

https://bit.ly/2ugBHmu

Marco invited mirrorless camera expert Mathieu Gasquet (Mat) co-founder of Mirrorlessons.com

After testing many mirrorless cameras from different manufacturers, Mat gives his thoughts on the unique qualities and some of the shortcomings of Olympus, Sony, Fuji, and Panasonic cameras.

Mirrorless news of the month:

The Fuji XF10 is the newest compact camera from Fuji that seems to replace the now discontinued but highly praised by Marco X70 compact camera from Fuji. But is it a real update from the X70 or did Fuji make two steps back here?

B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Ms0FKJ

Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2OBHV9a

Fujifilm also officially announced the new Fujinon XF 8-16mm f2.8 R LM WR Lens and the XF 200mm f2 R LM OIS WR Telephoto lens. Both lenses, the XF 8-16mm on the wide and the XF 200mm on the tele side can be game changers for professional photographers using the Fuji system.

Fujinon XF 8-16mm f2.8 R LM WR Lens

B&H: https://bhpho.to/2BfYEwU

Fujinon XF 200mm f2 R LM OIS WR Telephoto Lens

B&H: https://bhpho.to/2MnZaNV

Fuji added 3 new lenses to their roadmap. The XF16mm f2.8 (expected in 2019), XF 33mm f1.0 (expected in 2020), and XF 16-80mm f4 (expected in 2019).

Nikon is teasing the announcement of their full-frame mirrorless camera on August 23rd, 2018. The internet seems to be going crazy in expectation of this camera but is this hype justified or is Nikon late to the game?

Mirrorless question of the month:

Hi Marco, love the shows. I have a question that you might want to use on the show. I have a Fuji X-T1 and 18mm lens for my cityscape photography as a lightweight kit to take on work trips. However, I've always wanted an X100 and now the original ones are getting close to £300 - I'm tempted. So my question is, does the original X100 still have a place in 2018 as a travel and street camera.

Further to this, I was going to use the X100 for my black & white work (which I hear people say the old sensor is better? Or gives a different look?). And I want to use it for my long exposure photos, so autofocus speed isn't really an issue. Many thanks!

Question by: Ben from England

We have a PPN Photo Podcast Network group at Flickr (click link) that is open to our listeners and photos taken with all mirrorless camera brands.

Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:

Hi Marco, why do you shoot with wide angle lenses for street or documentary photography? It seems so much easier to work candidly with a longer lens since you don't have to get so close to your subject. And the chances of "getting caught" seem to decrease the longer the focal length of the lens is. Thanks!

Question from: Mateo, Barcelona, Spain

Hi Marco, I'll be going on a safari to Tanzania with my family in the fall and I would like to know which camera and lens I should bring. I own a Nikon D5300 body and lenses between 12 - 300mm as well as a Sony Alpha 99 II with a few lenses below 200mm. I need a longer zoom around 400mm. Which camera body should I get the tele zoom for and should I rent or buy a cheap one?

More Gear Show #16 | PPN | How to print better photos with Travis Mc Connaghy from Hahnemuehle Jul 23, 2018

Show notes

How to print better photos? Actually, it is quite simple if you follow some simple steps. Marco has invited Travis Mc Connaghy, he's the Technical Marketing and Support Manager for Hahnemuehle in North America, to discuss the photo printing workflow. Hahnemuehle is one of the oldest paper manufacturers in the world and they are their fine art printing papers are used by some of the best photographers, galleries, and museums worldwide.

This episode is sponsored by:

HoneyBook - Win Clients. Book Faster. Get Paid. Stay Organized.

and

Web: https://www.hahnemuehle.com/en/hahnemuehle.html

Travis shares his background in printing and talks about the history and product portfolio that Hahnemuehle offers.

Next, Marco and Travis discuss the different ink and print technologies and go into the advantages and disadvantages of some of the most popular current photo printers from Canon and Epson:

Next, they look at different printing paper properties: Matt or glossy - thick or thin, cellulose or cotton based and how does it affect the outcome of your print?

You can find a selection of Hahnemuehle Fine Art photo printing papers here:

B&H: https://bhpho.to/2LoZtnp

Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2JhzNMK

Before you edit your photos that you want to print, you should definitely calibrate your monitor! Without calibration, your printing results will most likely be a hit and miss game.

Datacolor Spyder5EXPRESS for display calibration:

B&H: https://bhpho.to/2LrGRTE

Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2Hrrbxs

The final part is the actual print workflow by setting your printer up and loading the correct ICC profile into your printing program. One of the huge advantages of using high-grade paper from Hahnemuehle is, that they supply you with the correct ICC profiles and a PDF with paper handling and printer setting suggestions. You can download all this on their website. And this is the key to getting a very high grade of consistency in your printing workflow.

Mirrorless news for the month:

Fuji X-T100 is the newest entry-level camera from Fuji that offers many features of the 50% more expensive X-T20 and also has some unique features like a fully articulating LCD and a 24MP sensor with standard bayer pattern layout - and that may actually be a good thing.

B&H: https://bhpho.to/2m32O0G

Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2u4CF61

Fuji messed up the first FW upgrade 4.0 for the X-T2, but they have fixed it and now offer FW 4.1 here: http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/x/xt2/index.html

Leica Launches the C-Lux compact superzoom camera which is basically a rebranded Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS200 with a red dot that is about $250 more than the Panasonic version.

B&H: https://bhpho.to/2m0BsIz

Sony launched the compact RX100 VI. Sony has added a longer zoom lens to the latest version of this camera and the equivalent field of view is 24-200mm with a claimed 4-stop image stabilization. The extended zoom range made the lens quite a bit slower at f2.8-4.5 whereas the predecessor had an EVF 24-70mm lens at a much faster f1.8-2.8 aperture lens. The image processor was also upgraded and AF plus eye tracking should be faster than in the previous model. And they have finally added a touch-sensitive LCD.

Mirrorless question of the month:

Hi, first of all, a big thank you for the great photography podcasts that you release each month. You guys have become one of my favorite photography outlets :)

I'm actually a better painter than a photographer but my question involves both art forms. I paint on large canvas and would like to create high-resolution files of my paintings for archiving and digital post-processing. The paintings are much too large to scan. I own an old Nikon D7000 with 16MP and have been wanting to upgrade to a recent mirrorless camera. I'm looking at Panasonic and Olympus cameras as the 4:3 aspect ratio fits that of my paintings and both cameras have a high-resolution mode that can produce 80MP images from the 20MP sensor. Do you think that the high-resolution mode will enable me to get good quality large files of my paintings or is this just a marketing gimmick? And which lens would you recommend me to get?
