Jeremiah takes us on a highly compressed dive into how the NFT market has developed since we last talked about it and how to be part of it as a photographer. You'll learn how to buy ETH, how to get a wallet for it, and how to connect that wallet with different markets, so you can sell and buy your own NFTs. Different markets serve different purposes, here are a few of them: Rarible, Foundation, HEN, Mintable, Cryptovoxels, Ephimera

Chris presents three new devleopments from computational photography and videography. Relighting (portraits) will keep the light, shadows, color and even specular highlights realistic when swapping out a background. Good old StyleGAN2, the neural net that, among other things, creates artificial humans has received an upgrade with several improvements. If you're a film maker, how about making your virtual car chases much more realistic by transferring the style of lush green German mountains to the dry hills of California.

Picks of the week: Chris brought a home-made pinhole camera, Jeremiah takes us right through the uncanny valley and out the other side with Unreal's digital humans and Eimear is one of the organizers of the Junction Festival which is a wonderful arts festival in Ireland. Make sure you check it out!

If part of photographic composition is an exercise in reduction, at some point we must reach a minimalist image. There are lots of great internet resources to study minimalism, including webinars. Can you go through minimalism and out the other side? Can you use colour? We discuss!

A deliberately very positive conversation about making the most of opportunities (whilst staying safe, of course) to "get back out there". Everybody and every place are different but there is reason to be optimistic so we explore that - photowalks, workshops, even big TV productions.

Picks of the week: Film is magic! (Smarter Every Day) Photography as a mini well-being break - very therapeutic Uncanny vallaey of the 1920s

It turns out that neither AC/DC nor Metallica defined black - it was some scientists at a place called Surrey Nanosystems. Then those same scientists, or maybe some different ones, invented the whitest white. Then artists took over and made the pinkest pink and the mirroriest mirror. What does all this mean for the future of photography? Tune in and find out.

Picks of the week: A personal historical art project New Agent Shadow 35mm film Some artistic dirt

Despite the lack of clarity regarding its pronunciation, the GIF has left a lasting impression on our internet culture. As the first web-based looping video format it is now part of memes and the general vocabulary that we use every day in messengers and social media. It sort of started with the dancing baby in 1996 and Cinemagraphs are a subset of the genre. Apps: GIF Toaster, gifgab, Picoo camera, Cinemagraph app.

LDR, SDR, HDR. Today we start a two-part episode on high dynamic range. First, we need to make sure we all understand what the heck we are discussing! So here is a primer, a bit technical, hopefully useful.

LDR: That horribleness you see in photos where the whole image is close to a single brightness or luminosity level. SDR: What your TV displays - unless you have a modern, probably expensive one. HDR: High Dynamic Range! But what does it actually mean?

We talk about some standards and also add colour into the mix.

Picks of the week: A whiter white, [Proof that HDR isn’t necessary](https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/70220281 ) if you have good stories, 1920s mugshots.

Why do we turn our white balance adjustment wheels the wrong way? Well, there is some science there involving Lord Kelvin, Max Planck, a lightbulb, electromagnetic radiation and quantum mechanics. This week we tell that story and apply what we learn to our photography. There's also some pinhole goodness.

Picks of the week: Yongnuo YN360, Harry Potter Studios, Anthem One.
