Show notes

Kev moves into plumbing services it seems and Neale's left wondering where the years seem be disappearing to. Meanwhile is it time to drop DSLR from our language, is the X-Pro 3 the last of the lineage, if the brand was Fuji-Mullins - what would the next camera release be? Also today, strong post wedding sales, we talk 'shooting square', try to figure how some photographers find an 'X factor,' understand why the X100 range has a small form factor, and accurate colour from your monitor. Book of the Show is The Perfect Imperfect by John Dolan and after the show on the Patreon channel the pop up show features our first member's picture critique, street pictures from Wade Brown in Australia.

This week, assigning buttons, even more shortcuts and why Kev is selling gear!

Beware sharpening levels. Our guest is Chris Orange on food photography and his special assignment!

It's a special FujiCast week with new kit announcements, plus we talk about entrusting your post-processing to a computer; is artificial intelligence good enough to process a look and feel into your precious photographs? Also, are cameras becoming too small for comfortably holding, do you wear ear protection on loud jobs, what spare items do you carry in the kit bag that are not photographic but possible 'life savers', how long do you really need to hold on to raws, do your LR pictures need deworming, is Twitter the new 'best' way to share our pictures, and would you like a GFX and a stash of cash for the year to go and make the best photo story? On top of this, special guests from the UK and Japan to celebrate what Kev believes will be the best selling X-T of all time!
