The Random Photography Show feat. Lucinda Goodwin

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Sam. [00:00:30] Speaker B: Well, g' day everybody and welcome back to the Camera Life podcast. It is Monday 13th April. I don't know where time is flying all of a sudden, but it's definitely moving faster than ever before. Stick around tonight if you're looking for a photography bumper crop of goodness. [00:00:46] Speaker A: Bumper crop. [00:00:47] Speaker B: I don't know what that means but the farmers out there might want to fill me in on that one. I just saw a Google. This is the random photography show. So every Monday night we, we have a live random photography show from 7:30pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. And then of course every Thursday morning at 9am Australian Eastern Standard Time, we interview an amazing photographer and discover everything we can about their life, their work and what they're up to next. Speaking of amazing photographers, Justin's here. Sorry, you're not an amazing photographer. I was getting to that. [00:01:21] Speaker A: I was waiting for it. I was like, you can't be introducing me. I'm here. [00:01:26] Speaker B: But now we are joined, of course you'll see that the room is quite busy today. We've, we're joined by Lucinda Goodwin here to co host with us tonight. G' day Lucinda. [00:01:34] Speaker C: Good day. Have. Thanks for having me. [00:01:36] Speaker B: That's all right. [00:01:37] Speaker A: Thanks, thanks for coming. [00:01:38] Speaker B: That's enough from you for the moment. And of course tonight we have a drop in guest here to talk to us about a very exciting project and one that's a little bit close to my heart and we'll get to that in a little bit later but Nick Walton Healey's joined us. G' Day mate, how are you? [00:01:53] Speaker D: Yeah, good. Greg, Justin and Lucinda, thanks so much for having me back on the show. It's lovely to catch up with you all again and, and yeah, share some, some insights into, into what's been a pretty, pretty lengthy project. [00:02:08] Speaker B: Yeah, well, awesome. We're gonna, we're gonna hear all about it. So the project is called the Line through Brunswick. And just before we dive into your bit, I just want to tell you why I said that. This is close to my heart. Nick, I don't know if I've told you this, but my partner Sasha lived in Brunswick and I'd never traveled up that train line before. Well, maybe years and years and years ago, but when we first started dating we would train back and forward to each other's house and it was at the end of COVID and so the line through Brunswick, it has a lot of memories for me, a lot of good times about those early days. Of course everything's gone sour now but back in the day it was very. We were happy and excited. That's great. [00:02:51] Speaker D: That's a beautiful story. [00:02:52] Speaker B: Yeah, thanks mate. Yeah. [00:02:54] Speaker D: No, what a great way to introduce it. Yeah, it's. Yeah. So many. It is surprisingly relatable. A lot of people do have a really fond and personal memory associated with that. That train line. [00:03:07] Speaker B: Yep. Well, why don't you tell us all about what you've got in store? [00:03:13] Speaker D: Sure. Well, I guess the, the project, the line through Brunswick is a, is a project project that is about the upfield train and bike path as it extends basically from North Melbourne station all the way to upfield. The focus of the project is on the Brunswick area which is set to be re engineered as a sky rail. So the project was a commission. We, I received a small grant to work with a local rider in the area and that grant was issued in response to the announcement of the redevelopment of that train line as Skyrail. We set out to capture some stories and to create a living portrait of the line as it exists at the moment for future generations to remember what was there when it is no longer. [00:04:13] Speaker B: Yeah, it's interesting because a lot of those old, A lot of those old brick train stations and platforms are disappearing. There's still some along the route but most of them have been as you said, are being moved up off the ground onto these part of the sky rail sort of network. And it's a shame to see some of that infrastructure, that older infrastructure disappearing because they're really great examples of the architecture of the area, aren't they? [00:04:43] Speaker D: Absolutely. And I think a lot of those stations too, the older styles, it's all about the community sort of, and people sense of connection to the area. I mean there's a couple of stations Greg, you probably know along the line, Coburg Station, Moreland Station, they've already been elevated and so, so there is a real contrast. And when I first set out photographing, I suppose the focus was in my, my thinking was about trying to record what the bits and pieces that, that might be gone and what is sort of likely to disappear. But as the project developed I became kind of oddly fascinated with some of those uber modern stations and, and ended up photographing a lot, a lot. Doing a lot of photographs in and around those areas as well. [00:05:37] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, you're correct. Some of those new stations are amazing pieces of architecture. Some have, you know, almost brutalist kind of themes to them. Very bare bones, back to bare concrete, minimal palette of color. So they will stand on their own. Now we've got a video here. Justin's Going to play a bit of it while you let us know a little bit more about the project. So you've got a, you've got a launch event coming up this week, haven't you? [00:06:05] Speaker D: Yeah, I have an exhibition opening at the Brunswick Neighborhood House at 6pm on Friday. This, this, this coming Friday, which is April 17th. The exhibition is actually going to be opened by the mayor of Brunswick and we've got some, some councillors in attendance. As I said, the. The project was assisted in terms of funding from the Marybeck Council, but Kevin Brophy, who's the writer that I've worked with as well, we have. We've also worked very closely with the Brunswick Community History Group. And so the video, I'm not sure some, some people might be listening if they can't see the visual visuals. The video actually incorporates some of Kevin's poetry alongside the photographs. Kevin is a widely acclaimed poet and author and it was. Yeah, it was amazing being able to work with him. He was actually my, my honest supervisor about 15 years ago, so. [00:07:11] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:07:12] Speaker D: It was. [00:07:13] Speaker B: That's so cool. [00:07:14] Speaker D: It was very special too. And yeah, I, I grew up in Northgate, so Brunswick, um, was an area that I was very familiar with and it was, um. It, it. This project in some ways does really feel like it's sort of coming full circle for me. I love that photograph. You can even see palm written on the bottom of the. Of the station there. I think when I realized that I was it, I felt. Yeah, that we were on the, on the right track, so to speak. [00:07:41] Speaker B: Oh, wow. Yeah, and we will pay that pun. As terrible as it was. [00:07:47] Speaker D: Thank you. [00:07:47] Speaker B: We will pay that pun. And so how many images have you are involved in this upcoming? [00:07:54] Speaker D: Yeah, so the photos, the photos that we're going through now are landscape photos. There are 33 landscape photos in the exhibition, but there are also 33 poets. 33 portraits, sorry, of community members who have significant connections to the line, whether they be because they're commuters or they're local artists or they're people that have campaigned to have in the 1990s, the upfield line. The state government wanted to close it, so there was this considerable campaign that was lodged by residents at that time to. To save it. [00:08:33] Speaker A: And. [00:08:34] Speaker D: Yeah, and there's a lot of, I suppose, guerrilla gardeners as well, along the line who have devoted considerable amount of time and effort to beautifying some of the. Some of the more ambiguous spaces along. Along that passage. [00:08:51] Speaker B: Yep, very cool. So the opening night is this coming Friday, April 17th, 6pm where did you say it was Brunswick Neighborhood House? [00:09:03] Speaker D: Yeah, Brunswick Neighborhood House. So it was really important for us to find a venue that was I suppose, reflective of the community. A space that the community felt really comfortable and safe in. And the Brunswick Community House has a terrific hanging system and a good gallery program. So we were really excited by the opportunity to, to show the work in that space. The address of the neighbourhood house is 43A DeKal street in Brunswick. A lot of people would know Decal Street. It's quite a significant street. It's very close to Anstey Station. So for all my friends that are on public transport, I've been encouraging them to catch the upfield line to, to Ansley Station and the neighborhood house is a short walk from there. [00:09:47] Speaker B: Amazing. So this exhibition runs until the 19th of May? Yeah, that's open to the public 10 to 12 noon every Tuesday on the 21st, 28th of April and May 5th, 12 and 19. And there's also an exhibition talk 1:30pm Saturday on May 2nd. I imagine that both yourself and Kevin Brophy will be in attendance for that one. [00:10:14] Speaker D: Yeah, that's, that's actually going to be between myself and Elizabeth Jackson who's the president of the community history group. She's going to talk about the photos in terms of their historical depth, I suppose and then I'm going to give a little bit of an insight as to how as my understanding of the history of the area grew that that changed the photographic process and sort of talk people through that. [00:10:45] Speaker B: Very exciting. Well look, thanks for dropping by to let us know Nick. Always great to see you and always great. It's always fascinates me what you're working on because you hop from project to project and they always have a really strong community centered mindset and I think that's amazing. And you know, congratulations on yet another project nearing completion and we wish you all the very best for, for the line through Brunswick. [00:11:15] Speaker D: Thank. Thank you so much Greg. They're really kind words and yeah, thanks. Thanks Justin and listen to, for having me back on the podcast. It's always, yeah, it's a pleasure to, to join and to tune in at every chance I get. So yeah, I'm really. [00:11:30] Speaker B: Thanks. [00:11:30] Speaker D: Grateful. [00:11:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:31] Speaker B: Look, we could talk about this all night but we do have a bumper crop as I said. [00:11:35] Speaker D: Of course. [00:11:36] Speaker B: Sorry Jay, what were you going to say? [00:11:39] Speaker A: Oh, nothing. No, I'm just excited to hear about this bumper crop. Yeah, well, you know, thanks very much again for coming on, Nicholas. It's awesome project. It's beautiful imagery as well. Yeah, you should be really proud. [00:11:52] Speaker D: No worries. Thanks so much, guys. [00:11:54] Speaker B: Be safe, mate. Great to see you. Take care. [00:11:56] Speaker D: You, too. See you, guys. Cheers. [00:11:58] Speaker B: Bye. And then there were three. Now, I may have oversold the bumper. All right, so let's just. Let's just say hello to some people in the chat. [00:12:11] Speaker A: Yeah, well, look. [00:12:11] Speaker B: Look at this. [00:12:12] Speaker A: Mr. Daniel McMahon's in the chat. Loves a bumper crop. Says Mr. Daniel McMahon, one of my good friends, one of my best friends, also one of my best clients. That works out well. [00:12:23] Speaker B: We're so sorry, Daniel.

Anyone else think we're in a simulation, or is it just me? [00:13:32] Speaker B: No, not really. [00:13:33] Speaker C: Okay, that's deep thoughts for Monday night. [00:13:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay.

[00:15:13] Speaker A: Workshop. [00:15:14] Speaker B: Actually I was watching a video that I think Brett put up earlier today on. On his Facebook and they were shooting a sunset. It just looked absolutely magic over a lake with mountains and you know, [00:15:28] Speaker A: it's just hobbits. I don't think there was. [00:15:31] Speaker C: They are in New Zealand.

Zenna says, hey, all the toy short videos were rad on the tube. Yeah. We've been posting little clips of some of the toys. Yelena went crazy and just chopped them all up and made them into clips. And then I made all the thumbnails and we got them out onto the interweb. So that was fun. We might try. We're going to try and do some more of that but we won't be able to do like every photo all the time. That'll be a lot of work. [00:16:19] Speaker B: Important question here from Samuel. Are you trying to compete with Greg's beard? Baby face. Justin. Oh, you actually are growing something. I couldn't see it. [00:16:28] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm thinking about getting a macro lens so I can document my progress. Yeah, Andrew kind of wants to know where Bruce was. Yeah, where were you, Bruce? Exactly. Tell us.

Most small business. [00:17:34] Speaker C: Yeah, I heard. I heard a rumor about a dual harness last week. Did I hear that correctly? [00:17:39] Speaker A: No, I don't know about that. [00:17:41] Speaker B: No, we have nothing to. [00:17:42] Speaker C: I was on the Internet, I believe everything on the Internet. [00:17:46] Speaker A: That's right. Yes. [00:17:47] Speaker C: You know my address. Just put it in the post. I won't tell anyone. [00:17:53] Speaker A: You'll be first on the list. We'll have to have some like Jim. Jim was the. How does it go? There's the beta testers. What's before beta? Alpha. [00:18:01] Speaker B: Alpha. [00:18:02] Speaker A: So Jim's been. Jim's been the alpha tester for seven years. And then. Yeah, we're going to have to expand that into a nice little test of beta testers and you'll be on the list. [00:18:12] Speaker C: Fabulous. That's all I needed to know. [00:18:14] Speaker A: Sophie Garrity. Otherwise I'll probably have to run to the ends of the earth and hide because she can chase me for 240km. [00:18:22] Speaker C: I totally agree. You need more girls testing these things out. [00:18:25] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:18:27] Speaker A: Exactly. So far it's just been Jim or I make Jim get my address and like how does it feel now? It's really important. Exactly. So not exactly comprehensive testing. Anyway. We'll get there. We'll get there. It's going to happen anyway. Luckystraps.com 12 year anniversary sale. Lots of deals, free personalization with the code make it yours. If you are inclined to personalize your camera strap, you can do that. Yeah. [00:18:56] Speaker B: Plus lots of straps on sale. [00:18:58] Speaker A: That. Yes. Up to 25% off. Lots of straps. Including our deep brown color which is quite popular. The most popular actually. Oh, it's a tie anyway. [00:19:07] Speaker B: The tie between that and what? [00:19:09] Speaker A: Chestnut brown and then. No, no. And then. [00:19:12] Speaker C: Oh, really? [00:19:13] Speaker A: Yeah. No, black actually isn't the most popular. Black wine is very popular in a couple of models. But overall I would probably give the edge to chestnut brown, which is like the middle of the road brown. It's just like, not. Not too dark, not too light. Just Goldilocks Brown. [00:19:32] Speaker C: Yeah, great. [00:19:38] Speaker A: Felicity Johnson says 12 years. Well done, guys. We were talking about your straps at Strap Ons, Louis Sedgwin's Fine Art Equine workshop yesterday. Well, that sounds fun. [00:19:53] Speaker B: You did the After Dark Lucky Straps collection of strapons. [00:19:57] Speaker A: The Strapons. It's a whole different that. They're not on sale at the moment. That must have been fun. Fine Art Equine Workshop. That's very cool. [00:20:06] Speaker C: Yeah, that sounds really interesting. [00:20:08] Speaker B: Oh, and Phil Thompson has also been spruiking Elwes. Oh, sorry. I was singing the praise of Lucky straps at the Wangaratta Hot air balloon and drone show over the weekend. Was it that was. Was that the big one there where there was like 50 hot air balloons going up? [00:20:24] Speaker A: Yes, I believe so. Either that or there was a weird coincidence because I've got some photos. Whoops. From. From David Skinner. Yeah, I think. Yeah. [00:20:36] Speaker B: Yeah. All right, let's get on with the show. [00:20:38] Speaker A: Proper. A ton of them. Yeah. Well, I want to know what's Lucinda been doing? What have you been trying to know? [00:20:43] Speaker B: Tell us. [00:20:44] Speaker C: Oh, exciting things. I'm exhausted tonight. Actually, I. I did a big workshop today at Melbourne Recital center, which is kind of fun and exciting. So, yeah. Did a. Did a workshop with some young people with an organization called the Push. So they run heaps of different events and support people going into the music industry at a young age. Justin, you're probably very familiar with the term freezer. Did you do any freezer gigs when you were. [00:21:17] Speaker A: Yeah, Did I tell you on the show at all? So we. [00:21:19] Speaker B: I can't remember. [00:21:20] Speaker A: Our Bendigo freezer was so bad. [00:21:24] Speaker C: Okay. [00:21:25] Speaker A: That we ended up starting our own organization to run gigs called Defrost. [00:21:33] Speaker C: Okay. [00:21:34] Speaker A: Get it? [00:21:34] Speaker C: Well, I love. I love Frieza, which is now called Amplify. And so these are all of the. All of the Amplify teams from all across Victoria came together at Melbourne Recital center. And then they. They sort of chose. So they had songwriting workshops and how to work in the industry. They had sound and production workshops and photography as well. So I did a. Did a workshop this afternoon. So, yeah, it was fun. [00:22:00] Speaker B: So they were also running a photography workshop as well. [00:22:03] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:22:05] Speaker B: That's amazing. [00:22:06] Speaker A: Were you teaching the people from Amplify or just other photographers from around the [00:22:11] Speaker C: place, like Amplify humans? So they were sort of like year 11, year 12, and. Yeah. So some of them will do the social media component of, like, when they put Gigs on. Some of them will take on the opportunity to do photography. So I work closely. There's two amplify crews in my area. There's one at Queens Cliff and one in Geelong. And so I've done workshops and stuff with them before and work closely with them. So it was just sort of nice to have a broader sort of spectrum of everyone in the, in the building [00:22:44] Speaker B: and so lovely that you're giving back to that community, you know? [00:22:47] Speaker C: Yeah, it's always fun, always fun to sort of share knowledge and it sort of helps your brain sort of going through stuff. Like when where you put a presentation together, you're like, oh, that's like, I've got to like overthink when I'm delivering something like that. So it's kind of nice to then look at it and go, oh, there is so much that goes into this like that I don't even think about on a day to day basis that I'm then trying to teach someone. [00:23:13] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. I think that whole, that whole idea of having them all get together, that's a, that's an awesome event to do because I think, I think it was like, I don't want to. Let's reverse. I don't want to make sure. Back here I didn't hate Defrost as an Frieza as an organization. It was just the Bendigo one was just not doing much and we saw that we'd go to Ballarat and we're like, the gigs are awesome over here and it was a different group and stuff. And I think maybe that of having everyone coming together and learning what. What other towns are doing and things like that, that's an awesome idea. [00:23:51] Speaker C: Yeah. And I think it was all about like that networking thing as well. So like, I feel like it's come a long way since then too. Like we didn't have like, I didn't have the opportunity to do Frieza when I was sort of coming through on the very tail end. I think they were doing maybe one or two gigs. But now it's sort of mandated that some like depending on how much funding they get, they do more events. So like one committee in my area has to do six events a year. So like it's like kind of picking up the pace in terms of doing stuff. And it's not necessarily just here's three bands on a lineup. It might be a battle of the bands, but they have to organize like entries and prizes and all of those sorts of things. And then like there was an all female lineup, one that I went to down here with all local artists and stuff. So, yeah, it's kind of. It's nice to see it evolving from, like, when I first started. Sort of seeing it come up in the. In the local area and like seeing it evolve. [00:24:50] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it's amazing. That's a great initiative. [00:24:52] Speaker A: Yeah, very, very cool. What else? In terms of. In terms of, like, work stuff? You've been busy work stuff? [00:25:00] Speaker C: Yeah, I have been busy working. I've been doing a fair bit of portraiture work and I've done a little bit of festival stuff as well since we last chatted, I think. But honestly, a lot of like admin stuff that's not as. It's not as exciting, like on the socials and stuff, but it's just the necessary stuff. A lot of musicians at the moment are sort of, kind of going into the colder season, so this is the time where they start organizing like different press images and releases and that sort of stuff. So I've been doing a lot more of that and just like emails back and forth about that. I've done a few shows at Geelong Art center, but, yeah, doing a little bit of work and then, yeah, I fly to Sydney in a couple of weeks to do the Opera Amcos Music Awards, which is at the Horton Pavilion, so where the arias are normally held. But they're. They're turning 100 this year, so it's really big and exciting. So they're kind of going all out and there's lots of really cool acts doing lots of cool things that I'm not allowed to talk about because that's top secret. But, yeah, lots of, lots of cool stuff happening. So, yeah, I'm flying to Sydney for a couple of days to shoot that and then spend some time with some friends up there. [00:26:13] Speaker A: Nice. So how many photographers will get an opportunity to shoot that? Is that a pretty difficult thing to get in? [00:26:20] Speaker C: And so lots of press photographers, so their main office is in Sydney, but they're actually flying both me and another Melbourne photographer up to cover it. We both covered it last year, so they normally move it every year it goes like Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney. So they're doing the hundredth in Sydney, so there's two of us on the official team and then there's someone doing portraits backstage as well. And then there's like a plethora of different publications, news outlets, all of that sort of stuff. So I kind of get my own little area to photograph in, which will be nice. I'm doing all the red carpet and winners stuff, so I kind of. Yeah. Get put in my own little box that I'm away from everyone, which is kind of nice. And then everyone else kind of gets to fight down the other end of the. Of the red carpet. So. Yeah, it'll be fun. [00:27:07] Speaker B: Look at you. [00:27:08] Speaker A: Awesome. [00:27:09] Speaker B: Amazing. Yeah, that's very cool. Very, very cool. Well, it's good to have you here. Thank you so much for joining us tonight. [00:27:18] Speaker C: Thanks for having me. [00:27:20] Speaker A: Oh, anytime, anytime. It's. Anytime I can get some Canon backup is very appreciated because they've just been. They've been relentless. These Fuji people I know just won't let me relax. [00:27:34] Speaker B: Actually, I've got your Fujifilm camera here. I forgot that you gave it to me. Oh, yeah, in that bag. I found a bag today because I hadn't unpacked my bag since I saw you last week, and there was a nice little Fujifilm surprise in there for me. Yeah. [00:27:46] Speaker A: Got to do a. Greg's gonna do a review on the original X100, the OG film X100 that started it all, and see how it goes in 2026. [00:27:57] Speaker C: Exciting. [00:27:58] Speaker B: Yeah. Looking forward to it. All right, let's get to the weekend review. Yeah. [00:28:05] Speaker A: We start the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:28:08] Speaker B: We shot some news. [00:28:10] Speaker A: Go to the news. [00:28:12] Speaker B: Actually, no, let's look at social posts first. [00:28:15] Speaker A: Okay, that can be under the news. All right, let me pull. Let me pull some stuff up. [00:28:22] Speaker B: So, as I did say at the start of the show, we have a bumper crop of stuff to get through tonight because there's been a lot of going on in social media ever since Artemis launched and returned to Earth safely, which we're all pleased to see the. The. The fever around the images. Nikon, they're using an older Nikon dslr. Nikon are riding a wave at the moment of pure joy over the free advertising that they're getting. Thanks to four astronauts. There's been a lot going on, so it's really cool to see. Actually, I was talking to Justin about this last week, and we're saying how it just feels like it's reinvigorated photography again. It's brought photography back to the front of people's minds. Real photography by real skilled people that have to set up in crazy, [00:29:12] Speaker A: you [00:29:13] Speaker B: know, setups to capture all these different angles of Artemis. And then obviously, then there's the crew going into space with the camera, and that has sparked everyone's imagination about image making again, which is great. But we'll get to that in a second. First of all, should we talk macro photo? [00:29:29] Speaker A: Well, I've got It ready? Yeah, let's. [00:29:31] Speaker B: I got things out of order. Sorry. [00:29:33] Speaker A: Yeah, I was. I was like, is this. [00:29:34] Speaker C: What. [00:29:34] Speaker A: Is this what you want? [00:29:35] Speaker B: Yeah, let's start with this. We'll start with this. [00:29:39] Speaker A: Oh, this looks like something David Leporati would come. [00:29:42] Speaker B: It does, yeah. I thought that. But I thought maybe this could be a. Maybe this could be a future upcoming. Your photo topic challenge. I mean, it doesn't have to be as sophisticated as that setup, but I thought maybe, you know, trying to photograph. Trying to freeze a water droplet might be an interesting challenge. That's just my thought. [00:30:07] Speaker A: I see. [00:30:08] Speaker C: Yeah, I did this. I did this at uni. It was one of my assessments. Yeah. And they had an intervalometer and it was all very technical. And I actually had a student do it as, like, final artworks for the end of year piece. And I think they only needed three images. And I think the person went a little snap happy. And I think I ended up with like 50 final images because they're having so much fun. You can also do it with milk as well, so it kind of is a bit more opaque. [00:30:39] Speaker B: Was. [00:30:40] Speaker A: Was it. So this person's rigged it up so that the droplets are coming out constantly. Did you do it that way or were you doing it manually with, like a dropper or something? [00:30:49] Speaker C: It was like that. It was like dropping and we had like a. Like a set on it so that you could, like, time how often they were falling. And it was very technical. [00:31:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Wow. [00:31:01] Speaker B: Very cool. [00:31:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Clever little setup, too, to get those images. Like it's having the CD in the background. [00:31:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:09] Speaker A: Yeah, Love it. All right, what else? [00:31:13] Speaker B: Next up? There's been a few Hasselbladder trying to piggyback off the Artemis mission because they've been. They've been out there flogging their gear and saying, we were the first on the moon, as we know. But there's been a lot of stuff about Hasselblad. This one's about a Hasselblad Instax setup that someone has created. And we've. We've seen some of these things before. We saw someone who did one on a large format camera. And obviously we've seen Dennis. Dennis Smith, Ball of light, do some amazing light painting portraits with Instax, setting a new world record. But, yeah, I thought it was pretty cool. [00:31:53] Speaker A: Yeah, very cool. Good little adapter. [00:31:56] Speaker C: I want one so bad for my Mamiya. I just. I just need to bite the bullet on it. [00:32:01] Speaker B: Oh, God. [00:32:03] Speaker A: Can you get them? Are they hard to get? [00:32:05] Speaker C: Yeah, there's a place in America That. Make them. [00:32:08] Speaker A: Yeah, do it. Do it. [00:32:11] Speaker C: It's like $900. I should do it. [00:32:13] Speaker B: But you don't need to pay rent. It's fine. Two Minute Noodles will get you through business. [00:32:19] Speaker A: Make it business. Make a profit. No, no, we can't have that. [00:32:24] Speaker C: Buy more film. [00:32:25] Speaker A: Buy more film and stuff. Speaking of buying things, Felicity Johnson says I've just bought the. Is that ME Ops Water droplet kit. [00:32:35] Speaker C: Yeah. All the bits and pieces that kind of make it drop. [00:32:40] Speaker A: That drop. David Leporati says it's more fun doing it manually, and I. I would believe that. I'm sure you've got some sort of crazy dropper setup. [00:32:48] Speaker C: You have to have a certain type of patience, and I'm not sure I'm about that. [00:32:52] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm gonna put. Hang on. Oh, no. Oh, hold. Hold the phone. I've put you guys all over the place. I'm gonna put me holding it when I cover, and then I'm going to put Greg up here so that when I cover me with the comments, it's not. I'm not covering Lucinda's face with the comments. Okay. All right. Okay, next step. [00:33:14] Speaker B: Yeah. Hasselblad moon images. [00:33:19] Speaker A: Oh, okay. [00:33:21] Speaker C: Okay. [00:33:26] Speaker A: That's what it looks like when I take them on my phone. [00:33:29] Speaker B: Yeah, pretty much. [00:33:32] Speaker C: But it's on a hassle. Blood. That cost that person $15,000. [00:33:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:38] Speaker B: Plus that lens. [00:33:40] Speaker C: Yeah. Wow. [00:33:41] Speaker A: Wow. It says the entire set. Yeah, this entire setup cost me $15,000. Hasselblad 203 fe digital back 987x100C. Hasselblad FE350F4. [00:33:54] Speaker C: I'm sure there's like a heap of detail in that. In that shot. We're just not seeing it on social media, but. Yeah, maybe not for me. [00:34:05] Speaker A: No, no, I mean, it's a good use of a Hasselblad, I guess. [00:34:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:11] Speaker A: But no, I'm sure a cheap Sony would probably do just as good of a job. What's this one, Greg? [00:34:21] Speaker B: Which one's this? So this is a shot that was actually taken from the capsule as they. I think, as they went around the backside of the moon, so there was no light pollution. And one of the crew captured this shot really interesting whilst moving at some [00:34:39] Speaker A: ridiculous amount of kilometers an hour, I was gonna say. So tell me this. Our tripod can't even have a whisper of a little. And otherwise all of our stars will be blurry and shit, but they're somehow traveling at a bajillion kilometers an hour, slingshotting around the moon. That one. That's for Bruce, if he's listening. He doesn't like it when I pretend the moon doesn't exist. Anyway, so they're going around the moon at a magillion miles an hour and their stars are sharp. How is that, how's that possible? [00:35:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, it's a 10 second exposure. So this was shot with a Z9, Nikon Z9, a 35 mil lens at f 2.8 with an ISO of 12,800. And because the sun was, was blocked by, by the moon, there was, you know, pretty much zero light pollution. [00:35:35] Speaker A: No, I love it. As we said, seeing the photos is so interesting and so fun to see photography getting. [00:35:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:35:46] Speaker A: Just spread throughout all of the media again and people actually care about. Oh, this, look at this photo. Yeah, I love it. [00:35:53] Speaker C: Yeah, it's interesting to see a different perspective of things. [00:35:56] Speaker A: Yes. [00:35:58] Speaker B: Oh yeah, for sure. [00:35:59] Speaker A: Yeah. Look at the density of the stars in that shot. I often wonder when I'm really just sitting outside under the starry sky, I'm like, if we could see all of the stars that are out there, would the sky just be completely like all lit up? Would there be no black space? Is there that many stars? But the light's still traveling from the furtherest stars and we haven't seen it yet. You know what I mean? [00:36:30] Speaker C: Justin, you're asking too many profound questions for a Monday evening. [00:36:35] Speaker A: Anyway, Bruce says Dennis says yes. Oh, yes. Yeah, I agree with Dennis. Yeah, I think it would just be one, you know, just stars everywhere. There are that many stars. [00:36:45] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a, there's a clip of Brian Cox, who is an astrophysicist, I [00:36:51] Speaker A: believe, [00:36:54] Speaker B: and he does this equation of explaining just how many stars and galaxies there are. And it's just mind boggling. Like he's talking about the, you know, something like, you know, 500 million trillion just in the observable universe that we can see kind of thing that, that's those sorts of numbers. It's just bananas. [00:37:15] Speaker A: That's crazy. [00:37:16] Speaker B: And here we are floating on our little rock out in the middle of [00:37:18] Speaker A: nowhere, just cruising around the next one on the list. [00:37:23] Speaker B: Justin. Doesn't work. I put the wrong link on it. So just go to GoPro. Orion. [00:37:28] Speaker A: Oh yeah, on it. And. What are we saying? [00:37:41] Speaker B: So this is a shot. GoPro put this up. This is Orion spacecraft captures the moon and the Earth in one frame. During the Artemis 2's Crew Deep Space Journey. On the sixth day of the mission, the right side of the NASA's Orion spacecraft is seen lit up by the sun. A Waxing crescent moon is visible behind it and then a crescent Earth, which is pretty crazy. We just, we don't see that, obviously. [00:38:07] Speaker C: Again, such a different perspective to what any of us are normally seeing. [00:38:10] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, I, I wouldn't believe this was shot on a GoPro. [00:38:15] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm stuck on that. [00:38:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Unless you know. Yeah, if obviously four days ago it's been out and it's had 60, 000 likes. So by now, if this was NASA would have been like, hey, there's no GoPros on our. Yeah, yeah, they would have. They would have. So it's obviously real. But that is an insane photo, isn't it, to be able to manage to get that. Obviously, it was probably just taking. It's probably taken tons of photos. [00:38:51] Speaker C: Dennis is also calling this out. I don't know if you can read [00:38:55] Speaker A: this comment out loud, but absolutely, I can read this comment. Dennis. Dennis Smith from the School of Light at School ofLight on YouTube, if you'd like to go out and check more about. Dennis says if that was Captured on a GoPro, we can buy. I'll clamp my nuts in a vise and turn it tight. [00:39:14] Speaker B: Nice. [00:39:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm guessing. [00:39:16] Speaker C: Well, they might have. [00:39:17] Speaker A: Teasing. [00:39:17] Speaker C: Check GoPro. [00:39:19] Speaker A: Look, they're teasing their new GP3 processor that's coming in their upcoming camera. And if that's not what's on this spacecraft, I'll clamp my nuts in a vise and turn it tight because they, they will want to be using these images when that camera launches as, like this. This was taken on this new processor, this new camera. [00:39:41] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:42] Speaker A: Look how amazing we are. So, yeah, it's probably a very upgraded GoPro. [00:39:49] Speaker B: Yeah, absolutely. [00:39:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:53] Speaker A: Rick Nelson says, can you imagine how small they felt in the universe at that moment? Yeah, it would. It would. They all talk about it and you can kind of understand what they're saying, but I'm sure none of us could ever really imagine what that feels like. But they always talk about how it profoundly changes your view of. Of humanity as a group and how small we are in. In the entire sort of. In the universe, I guess. [00:40:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:25] Speaker A: So, yeah, anyway, I mean, the whole [00:40:27] Speaker B: thing is just crazy, like from, from a, from a mindset point of view, like, these people have strapped themselves to a top of a giant fuel tank that someone has lit on fire. They blasted some ridiculous amount of GS into. Into space, then they pull off this sort of stuff, and then they have to burn through the atmosphere at a sharp angle or whatever it is they do, like, just even Those things alone, like, imagine what your brain's going through as you. As you're about to hit the atmosphere to re entry and you know, everything gets very hot. Like, it would be. It would just do your head in, I'd imagine. [00:41:04] Speaker C: Again, not for me. [00:41:06] Speaker A: Yeah, not for you. You wouldn't go if they were like, hey, we'll give you a seat. Like, nah, nah, I'm good. Send me the photos. [00:41:14] Speaker C: Yeah, send me the photos. I'm good. [00:41:16] Speaker A: Photos. What else we got? Is this more items? Let's see. [00:41:22] Speaker B: Yeah, there's lots of moon and Artemis stuff here. Artemis 2 launch. [00:41:26] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, these are the one. These are sick. [00:41:29] Speaker C: That's impressive. [00:41:30] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. These are just crazy. [00:41:35] Speaker C: Insane. And the way they have to set these. These up, like so far in advance is absolutely crazy. [00:41:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:45] Speaker C: Because I didn't think about that until I was watching. I was watching your podcast last week. I was like, oh, yeah, of course they wouldn't be able to like, stand next to that. It's just not something that ever crossed my mind, but. [00:41:57] Speaker A: Or just like I want to, you know, go in and change my set. Like, you can't just come and go and like, keep setting it up. You know how, like, oh, we're gonna, you know. Yeah. [00:42:06] Speaker C: You know how like Melbourne Airport, where people just like pull over into the paddock and they're just shooting airplanes, like, leaving Melbourne Airport. Like, that's kind of what I thought it was. What was like. But I don't know why I thought [00:42:17] Speaker A: that, but like, like you could get close enough to take a decent photo just kind of behind a fence or something like. Yeah, yeah. And there'd be a crowd there watching and taking photos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's. That was in my brain imagined as well that, that it was a more public kind of thing. But I think that thing that we're imagining is so far away that the photos would be terrible because I think people do watch some of these things, but it's from. From quite a distance. [00:42:45] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:42:48] Speaker A: Oh, amazing. What have we got here? Some D5 someone. Yeah, so the five settings. [00:42:56] Speaker B: Yeah. So they've published the actual camera settings for this shot. This the latest full image of the Earth. [00:43:05] Speaker C: Look at that ISO. [00:43:07] Speaker A: Yeah, there's. There's something about this that unfortunately leads me back towards this rabbit hole of. Is there even a moon? Because if. If they had shot this in manual mode at a quarter of a second shutter speed, f4 aperture 51200iso in manual mode, what would the reason for a plus one exposure compensation be they slipped on the button. [00:43:35] Speaker B: Yeah, probably. I do it all the time. [00:43:40] Speaker A: See, things just don't always add up, do they? [00:43:44] Speaker C: The Nikon part, that did it for me. [00:43:48] Speaker A: Yes. No, the D5 is an epic camera. It's so cool. [00:43:52] Speaker C: They used to use one. [00:43:53] Speaker A: Yeah. They're good, aren't they? Yeah. Yeah, it's. It's got. It's got a good feel about it. And the files at like, at 400, they. They're just clean and awesome and great colors. That's what I thought anyway. A lot of people didn't like it. I loved it. Epic at 51,200. So this is the. The. The. The. The dark side of the Earth, I guess this is the. This is the nights. The night side. Which is why the. Those are the settings. Because this was the. The non sun side. [00:44:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:27] Speaker C: Because is that speck in the very far distance in the corner. [00:44:34] Speaker A: Oh, you reckon. You reckon that's the sun? [00:44:37] Speaker C: Maybe. I don't know. The light's coming from there. [00:44:40] Speaker A: Mars or something. But yeah, I thought the sun must be on the other side of the Earth. Yeah. What's Paul saying? The blue marble shot is of the nighttime side of the earth that is in full darkness. Hence the ISO 51200 originals are on Flickr. Flickr coming back. [00:45:02] Speaker C: Do I need to migrate back over to Flickr? [00:45:04] Speaker B: Yeah, you should. [00:45:05] Speaker A: We're gonna make a comeback. We're contemplating using it for the your images section even. [00:45:11] Speaker C: Oh, are you gonna force everyone to go to Flickr? [00:45:14] Speaker A: No, there's no forcing. We don't do forcing on this. Gently encourage them, otherwise they can't. [00:45:19] Speaker B: Justin's forcing the beard. [00:45:21] Speaker A: But apart from that, the only thing I don't like about Flickr for the your images section is because we'd have a group, but then people would be able to see everyone's images before the podcast. And I think it's kind of more fun when you don't know what's coming up. So I don't know. [00:45:36] Speaker C: Yeah, it's like a secret. [00:45:37] Speaker A: It's a secret until we show it on here. Whereas if everyone was already in there, you'd be like, I've seen these already. I'm in that group, so I don't know. [00:45:46] Speaker C: Yeah, we need people to watch. You know. [00:45:48] Speaker B: That's right. That's Love surprises. Just a couple more social posts to go. [00:45:54] Speaker A: Mm. [00:45:56] Speaker B: The next one is Void Void Long. Voigtlander wants to tag along next time. [00:46:01] Speaker A: Oh, [00:46:04] Speaker C: poor Voigtlander. [00:46:07] Speaker A: I'm just jumping on the bandwagon. It's a shame Canon haven't done anything. I don't. I assume they haven't. There's not much they can do. But it would have been funny if they'd thrown out something about something. [00:46:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:46:21] Speaker A: I don't know. Yeah. It would be tough to come up with a clever way to get in on that conversation when your direct competition is just killing it in the news at the moment. Because they're on a spaceship and you're not. [00:46:34] Speaker B: Yeah. It would be fascinating to see, you know, how sales change, like to have that sort of insight into the data, to see, did Canon suffer a drop and Nikon suffered a spike in sales. [00:46:48] Speaker A: You know, Nikon D5s actually going up in value on the used market right now. People are like, I want to have one of those. Since it was the sort of camera that got taken to that 100%. [00:46:59] Speaker C: Be somebody that sees that and goes, yes, I'm going to go buy one today. [00:47:05] Speaker A: I did see one on Marketplace and I was tempted for a second because not the Moon thing probably helped, but because I've had one. [00:47:13] Speaker C: You were the person. [00:47:15] Speaker A: I was the person. Yeah. But I've had one and I know how great it was. But then I remembered I don't have any Nikon lenses left and I don't want to have to buy any Nikon lenses. So I was like. [00:47:23] Speaker C: I was about to say that's a whole. That's a whole kit situation that you don't want to deal with. [00:47:28] Speaker A: I would probably just want the 28 [00:47:32] Speaker C: 1.4, not a 50 mil. [00:47:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Wow. What's wrong? [00:47:36] Speaker C: That seems to be your favorite lens. [00:47:38] Speaker B: Well, the. [00:47:38] Speaker C: Based on consumerism. [00:47:40] Speaker A: The only Nikon 50 mil I really used much was the 58. Actually, the 58.1.4, which was notoriously soft, but at about f 2.2. It was beautiful. We shot that thing a ton. So. Yeah, maybe one of those. Don't know. Don't know. Anyway, we're getting distracted. Anything else? [00:48:05] Speaker B: No, the rest can wait. We've done a fair bit there. Let's jump to some news articles. Again, relatively quiet week in the news. Obviously, there's been a lot of stuff about what's been going on with the NASA launch. And we do have one more Artemis article to show you, but we'll leave that one for the end of the news. Let's start with TT Artisans. They're releasing an autofocus 17 mil, 1.8 for E&X and A3. Think also potentially Nikon. Nikon, Nikon, Nikon. [00:48:35] Speaker C: You went to America then I was [00:48:38] Speaker A: gonna say we're in Australia, Greg. It's all right, Nick. On, mate. [00:48:41] Speaker B: I'll write a letter of apology. [00:48:45] Speaker A: Okay. Cool. Little lens for crop sensors. So I'm assuming that'd be for crop Nikon. If it goes there. That's cool. More lenses, they're just coming in like crazy. I saw a news article from a lens company by the name of Sigma on DP review. They'd done an interview with the Sigma people and they said they're not. They're not as confident about the camera industry for the next coming 12 months as. As other companies are. I was like, that's interesting. [00:49:17] Speaker B: Did they say why? [00:49:19] Speaker A: They said they're worried about the geopolitical climate, obviously. Tariffs, you know, like, who knows what might happen? Kind of. That must scare companies just being like, we don't know. We don't know what could happen. [00:49:33] Speaker C: Yeah. Are we going to be able to ship anything anywhere? [00:49:36] Speaker A: Anywhere, yeah. Just that sort of global instability. But he also mentioned that there's so many. There was a yearning for a variety of great lenses, but now there's such a variety of great lenses available for all mounts. It's. They're like. It sort of seems like everyone might be pretty happy with what they've got. I'm paraphrasing, of course. This is what I read from the article. And he said, so until camera brands innovate a bit more on cameras, there might not be another kind of lens. What would you call it? [00:50:13] Speaker B: Like. Like a generation iteration? [00:50:15] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. Like, you know, everyone's kind of pretty stoked with what they've got. They're not desperate for. [00:50:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:50:22] Speaker A: I don't know. Is there anything. You're like just Lucinda, that you're just like, oh, man, if I just need something like this, there's a lot of options now. [00:50:30] Speaker C: No, not really. There's nothing. Yeah. And I've kind of. It's that same thing of like, I've kind of got everything that I need. I don't need to put anything like, I've got eight to 400 covered. [00:50:42] Speaker A: Yeah. And it's all performing well. You're not. You're not like, oh, nothing's broken. This one? This one? Or no, not even broken. I mean, like substandard, where you're like, this one lens isn't very good. I wish they'd bring out another one. They're all pretty good. [00:50:56] Speaker B: Yeah. And, you know, as they bring out. When they do bring out new lenses, the, the, you know, the improvements are marginal at best, you know. [00:51:05] Speaker C: Yeah. It's not like this huge. [00:51:07] Speaker B: This one's still good. I'll just stick with it. Yeah, exactly. I, I think the other big challenge that not just the camera industry because you know for a lot of people photography is a, is a luxury. It's a, it's a hobby. [00:51:18] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:51:18] Speaker B: It's not, you know, it's not their bread and butter. It's something they pick up and do on the weekends when they go to clubs, all that sort of stuff. And there's a lot of financial pressure on, on everyone at the moment. You know, petrol everywhere is crazy priced which means that deliveries everywhere are crazy priced. Cost of groceries is still going through the roof. You know I, I just. You gotta stop me ranting like an old man yelling at clouds. It just baffles me that you know this, this has come to be yet. Supermarkets for example are just allowed to run rampant with charging whatever they want for product. You know, when this sort of stuff happens the government needs to step in and regulate stuff. But anyway I don't want to get. [00:52:02] Speaker A: We have a government. [00:52:03] Speaker B: We do apparently. Yeah. [00:52:04] Speaker A: What do they do? [00:52:06] Speaker C: People in charge? [00:52:07] Speaker B: That's a very good question. Justin. What else on the news? Canon shows off interesting RF55 and an 85 1.8 designs. There's another 55 coming out. Justin. [00:52:21] Speaker C: Do you need it? [00:52:23] Speaker A: No. I said this about the. I don't think so. Working on a refresh it seems like such they just brought out. Yeah, I mean, I mean Zeiss. Not for me Otis. Yeah, I just don't. I mean I. But I also said that 45 wasn't going to come out and then it did. So I don't. Listen to me anymore. I don't know what I'm talking. [00:52:46] Speaker C: It's just also like how many lenses can you have in one camera bag? Like how many lenses are we taking to a, to a. Whatever we're shooting? [00:52:54] Speaker B: Like I think it's a bit of a scatter, scatter gun approach. They're throwing out four 50s 55s. Next will be a 60, you know a 42 and a half. They're just throwing it out there to see what sticks. [00:53:07] Speaker C: 45 and three quarters. It's just for me like I don't, I don't use prime so that I'm the wrong person to talk to. [00:53:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:53:17] Speaker C: This like it's just like why, why have so many gaps between like for me it's like as I just said I have 8 to 4, 400 covered. Like I've got 8 to 15, 16 to 35, 2470-702002-00400. Like I've got the entire range covered in, in those lenses. Like you've got such big weird gaps between like, or, or not enough. Like if you've bought the 45, you're not going to buy the 55. [00:53:49] Speaker B: Doesn't make sense, does it? [00:53:50] Speaker A: No, it doesn't make sense. They're bringing it. [00:53:53] Speaker B: Nah. [00:53:53] Speaker A: If they're bringing these out, they've got a different. There's something that the, the wizards over at Canon rumors are missing, which would be that there's something. Hey, no, I like those guys. I read their website. It would be. If it's a. It's got some slightly different use case. [00:54:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:14] Speaker A: They're not going to just bring it out and have it be. Do you want the 50 or the 55? It will be. It'll have a different optical formula for a different look or it'll be more video focused or something like that. And, and it'll just be just the. Also, they. Canon, they're just patents as well because they, they can patent stuff all the time that never comes to market. [00:54:34] Speaker C: It's very true. [00:54:35] Speaker A: So who knows? It's fun to talk about, though. [00:54:39] Speaker B: Speaking of patterns, Nikon have registered a new camera. That's all we know. Yeah, that's it. [00:54:46] Speaker C: That's the news. [00:54:48] Speaker B: What often happens in different regions is they have to. I think they have to. They have to apply for Bluetooth and WI fi connectivity well ahead of the product coming out. And that's where most of these rumor sites pick up, that there's something in the works. But yeah, they've. They've found this, Pat, this registration and it's for a new Nikon camera. No one knows what it is. Anyone want to hazard a guess in the chat in the studio, what's everyone think? [00:55:15] Speaker A: Well, I know the Z9 Mark II is somewhere on the horizon, probably not this year, but I mean it could be. [00:55:25] Speaker B: It feels very soon. [00:55:28] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, well, when did this. As in too soon? [00:55:32] Speaker B: Yeah. When did the Z9 come out? I thought that was only like two, three years ago. Is it really time for generational change? [00:55:40] Speaker A: Late December20. Late December 2021. [00:55:43] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:55:44] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. I reckon that's the same distance between the R5 and the R5.2. [00:55:49] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. [00:55:50] Speaker B: I thought it was closer than that. [00:55:53] Speaker A: Yeah, I, I would say either late this year, maybe, maybe next year if they're having trouble with supply chains and stuff like that. But I think that'll be the biggest thing. [00:56:07] Speaker C: What's that now with like all of the supply chain stuff and all the stuff that we're seeing with SSDs and, and all of that chips. And don't get me started on the SSD thing. But yeah, like I think that's probably going to slow. Slow some of that down. [00:56:23] Speaker B: Well, I think I just saw separately to. When I was gathering news for today's article, I was just scrolling Doom. Scrolling through Instagram earlier and I'm pretty sure I saw that SanDisk are about to release a two terabyte. I saw that too, but it's like two grand or something. [00:56:39] Speaker C: A million dollars. Yeah. [00:56:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:56:42] Speaker A: That's a big SD card. [00:56:45] Speaker C: I've got a half terabyte CF Express. [00:56:48] Speaker A: Yeah, same 512. That's it. Yeah, 5A 512 CF Express though. That's a good sweet spot for price point and storage capacity and stuff. [00:56:56] Speaker C: It's like it was at the time. It's not anymore. [00:56:59] Speaker A: No, no, no. [00:57:01] Speaker C: It's gone up about $200 in the last six months. [00:57:04] Speaker B: But yeah, well, SSDs have doubled. [00:57:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:57:08] Speaker C: More than. Even more than that. Like I think I bought mine for 200 and it's now up to a thousand. [00:57:15] Speaker B: Yeah. And I'm looking at actual old spinny disc hard drives again because I just. [00:57:20] Speaker C: That's what I've done. [00:57:23] Speaker B: I'm not shooting professional, I'm shooting for me. And you know, even pro. [00:57:27] Speaker A: Even pros though, you just as long as you can have a fast working drive. [00:57:30] Speaker B: Um. [00:57:31] Speaker C: And that's all I'm using mine for now. [00:57:33] Speaker A: Exactly. And then as long as your spinny disks are backed up properly because they will fail at some point. [00:57:39] Speaker C: But SSD is also fail too. They're doing that as well. So you like. [00:57:44] Speaker A: It's back up. [00:57:46] Speaker C: All of it needs a backup. But yeah, I've. I've just recently gone through and put everything on ladies on an SSD on a spinning drive. And like the spinning drives now you can get like a. I've got one sitting here. It's like a six terabyte. [00:57:59] Speaker B: Like I was looking at those the other day. [00:58:03] Speaker C: Yeah, you couldn't, you couldn't get that. When I was sort of like using those drives. I think the biggest I could get was like a two or a three. But now you can get a six terabyte. Now I can just like move everything from an SSD onto that. Then I can put my SSDs back into my rotation. [00:58:17] Speaker A: That's a portable though as well. Like whereas. Yes, if you, if you go. [00:58:21] Speaker C: I've also got a power. [00:58:22] Speaker A: Yeah. And My desktop powered one and it wasn't that expensive. I got an 18 terabyte, just a big. A big, slow Western digital. 18 terabyte? [00:58:31] Speaker B: Yeah, I got. [00:58:31] Speaker C: I got one delivered last week. Yeah, I think it was like 500 or something. [00:58:35] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like that's. That's a great way to do backup. Or. Or if you. If you got two of those, you could essentially run your. Yeah. A backup, like a mirrored backup and your main drive and just. And use that as sort of not what you're working on right now. [00:58:51] Speaker C: Yeah, that's just my archive backup. [00:58:53] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:58:54] Speaker C: Yeah. It just sits there and just backs up all the time. Yeah, but. Yes. [00:58:59] Speaker A: Yeah, Rick Nelson makes a good point. Film and negatives will actually be cheaper if the SSD prices keep going up. [00:59:07] Speaker B: They might be right. We're going back. [00:59:10] Speaker C: And we're going back to film. [00:59:11] Speaker A: That's right. [00:59:12] Speaker B: Now we're going back to the big old tape data reels. [00:59:15] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:59:16] Speaker C: Beyond my time. [00:59:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:59:18] Speaker A: Oh, well. Have you heard of a microfish, Lucinda? [00:59:21] Speaker C: What now? [00:59:23] Speaker A: Really? Never. [00:59:24] Speaker C: Really? No. [00:59:25] Speaker A: You're never in your schooling or anything? In the library. So it was like. It was like secret spy stuff. Imagine, they just took. [00:59:34] Speaker C: This is why I don't know about it. [00:59:36] Speaker A: All of the newspapers and like. Honey, I shrunk the kids down to the smallest stuff that you can't read. And then you have to put it in a machine called a microfiche that basically just enlarges it to the size that you can see. [00:59:48] Speaker B: Like, it's all analog. It projects. It projects light up through the film and then it comes up on a screen and the screen, like, has a hood over it to, you know, like. It's crazy. You should Google it. [00:59:59] Speaker C: You guys are weird. [01:00:00] Speaker A: I'll Google it now. I can't believe. You seem to be weird. [01:00:03] Speaker B: How are we. That and library cards. Like, how would you. [01:00:06] Speaker C: I know what a library card is. I had a library card. [01:00:07] Speaker B: No, no, the reference cards. [01:00:09] Speaker C: No, I had one. Yeah. No, I was around back then and in encyclopedia. I've used an encyclopedia in my life. [01:00:15] Speaker A: Yeah, it's not bringing up. Maybe it was called. Oh, it's. I spelled it wrong. Someone just holding this really small fish. [01:00:24] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [01:00:28] Speaker A: It's not that. Hang on, hang on, hang on. I gotta. I've gotta. I've gotta. We've gotta dig into this. There'll be people in the chat that are like, that can't believe that you. Because it was old when I was at school, but they still kind of made us use it because it was funny. [01:00:43] Speaker B: Same. [01:00:44] Speaker A: The teachers were like, here, try and find a new article. Yeah. Where are we? [01:00:50] Speaker C: What on earth is this? [01:00:53] Speaker A: Is this gonna work? Can I zoom in? Why can't I zoom in? [01:00:57] Speaker C: History lesson, everybody. [01:00:58] Speaker B: It had like these X and Y axes, so you could scroll left, right, up and down on the film. But if you. A tiny movement would, like, skip hundreds of pages, so you had to be really careful about how you moved it. [01:01:11] Speaker C: So this is why our attention spans are stuffed, like right now, because we didn't have to do this. [01:01:16] Speaker A: That's right, yeah. So see, see the thing down the bottom with all the little squares and stuff? That. That's what you'd be moving that around. Yeah, basically. And then, and then. So it's just a way to store information in a smaller. In a micro fashion. [01:01:30] Speaker C: Oh, my God. Craig's first job. [01:01:34] Speaker B: Yeah. From the nerds in the chat. Craig Murphy. My first job in spare parts. We used a microfiche for parts cataloging. [01:01:43] Speaker A: Yep. See? [01:01:44] Speaker C: Oh, my goodness. [01:01:46] Speaker A: All these guys are going to laugh at me when they saw how I first typed it in because look what come up. [01:01:54] Speaker C: That is a microfiche. [01:01:55] Speaker A: That is a microfiche. [01:01:58] Speaker C: That is an accurate representation. [01:02:00] Speaker A: It is. [01:02:00] Speaker B: That is. [01:02:01] Speaker C: We have really derailed the news. I'm sorry, Greg. [01:02:04] Speaker B: We have. I'm going to get it back on track. Here's an article that might. Might interest Justin or anyone else that wants to shoot infrared om. I think it's in Japan only at the moment. I might be wrong about that, but they've announced a new OM1 Mark 2 infrared camera body development will be released. You know, I mean, we've obviously talked about the whole infrared conversion thing quite a bit because Justin is too chicken shit to pull the. Pull the trigger and. [01:02:31] Speaker A: No, Greg, no. I was so close multiple times and I'm really excited about it. I think it's going to be my, my, what do you call it, medium of choice while around, going around. Australia particularly. I really do. I don't know why, like. Anyway, I'll talk to you about it later when we look at my images. Actually, it's a good time to talk about it, but we got. We've got a full spectrum and infrared conversion specialists coming on the podcast, don't we? [01:03:03] Speaker C: I see that. [01:03:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:03:06] Speaker A: Next. Yeah, not this week, but next week. Imaging by design. So I was like, it would be crazy for me to order anything or get any cameras converted before I can get him on here and just ask him the question. [01:03:15] Speaker C: Just, just ask him that. All the questions. [01:03:17] Speaker A: Exactly. [01:03:18] Speaker C: This is just a Podcast for Justin. [01:03:20] Speaker B: That's it. He does not hide that fact at all, Lucinda. [01:03:23] Speaker A: That's why I do this. I get to talk to people I want to talk to for my own personal gains. So, yeah, I am. My plan is to full spectrum convert once I've spoken. Unless he's like, oh, no, don't do that. [01:03:36] Speaker C: I don't think he's going to tell you that. [01:03:38] Speaker A: I don't think so either. So I'm pretty excited about that. So that's cool, that OM1. It does. A few camera brands have put out infrared and full spectrum versions for forensic use, scientific use and specialist use, but it's pretty rare and they are often special order through, you know. Yeah, it's not something you can go and buy at a camera store often, [01:04:01] Speaker B: but B and H in the States have had them on and off. They've had Fuji ones in the past, but they just get us. They get a number of them made, or maybe they do it themselves, I don't know. B and H is such a big company and they've had them on the market in the past. All right, one last piece of news. Let's jump to the. Speaking of infrared, NASA captured the Artemis 2 launch in infrared. Oh, this should be good. [01:04:31] Speaker A: There we go. Look at that. Crazy. [01:04:42] Speaker B: It is crazy. It's such a bananas way to look at it. Oh, yeah, play the video. [01:04:49] Speaker A: I was going to say. Is this a video? Yeah, hang on. Oh, look at the thrust. [01:04:59] Speaker B: Easy, tiger. But isn't that nuts? [01:05:05] Speaker A: Yeah. So for them, for infrared is a way of seeing more than what's visible with the naked eye. For them to be able to review, you know, what's happened, I assume. [01:05:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:05:20] Speaker A: They want to be able to monitor beyond the visible spectrum of light so they can see if something goes wrong or how everything's working or. [01:05:29] Speaker B: Yeah, I imagine they recorded it with a whole bunch of trippy systems. [01:05:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:05:34] Speaker B: You know, because the next one they were. Isn't the next one. Next year they plan to land on the moon. [01:05:41] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:05:41] Speaker B: Is that the year? [01:05:41] Speaker A: I think. Then they're building a moon base. [01:05:44] Speaker B: Yeah, apparently. [01:05:46] Speaker A: Yeah. Sorry, I mean a moon base. Sound stage, moon base, whatever it is. I can't remember what the technical word for it was. Sorry, Bruce. Yeah, these are. I. So when I saw these, I was like, yeah, I'm converting my camera. [01:06:06] Speaker C: Yeah, you were converted. [01:06:09] Speaker A: I was converted. And we will be converted. The R5. Nah, probably the R6 Mark 3 will be getting converted R6. [01:06:17] Speaker C: R6. Sounds like a better idea. [01:06:19] Speaker A: Seems less painful than doing the R5 Mark 2. [01:06:23] Speaker B: Yeah, indeed. Well, apart from a couple of watchworthy YouTubes, I'll just give a quick shout out. Jeff Freestone has dropped a new video recently on the hardest stage in photography and how to break through it. Definitely worth a look. And of course, Julie Powell, who has just taken a little break, has published a couple of videos from her Ballon Workshop retreat, which she came on the show and talked about before it happened a couple of weeks ago. So some videos on. On Julie's. What was I saying? YouTube page. [01:06:58] Speaker A: The words just left me. It's a professional show. [01:07:04] Speaker B: Indeed. All right, let's get to what's in the box. [01:07:07] Speaker A: Okay, what's in the box? Anyone got anything to open? I do. I do things. [01:07:18] Speaker C: Things don't last in my house. I always. I, like, practically don't shut the front door and I'm opening Amazon boxes. [01:07:24] Speaker A: I got this last week and I was like, I really want to open it now. But then I thought about the podcast and I thought about everyone that tunes in on a Monday night, and I was like, no, wait. So now I got to go and find it because I can't remember where I put it. [01:07:35] Speaker C: Okay. Oh, gosh. Well, I got a new. I got a new Godox trigger that [01:07:41] Speaker B: I was excited about. [01:07:43] Speaker C: The. The Big dog one. I've got, like, all of them now, but I think I've got. It's here. [01:07:48] Speaker A: Which trigger did you get, Knocking? Oh, you did get the big one. Liking it? Yeah, I haven't used it yet. [01:07:56] Speaker C: I haven't used it yet. [01:07:57] Speaker A: If it's wet, I don't. [01:08:00] Speaker C: I don't typically photograph in the rain with my strobe. [01:08:04] Speaker B: It's usually jumping into a pool. [01:08:06] Speaker C: Hang on, hang on, hang on. Yeah, the macro. The macro shoot says otherwise, but, yeah, that was. [01:08:13] Speaker A: That was when it was just. It was changing settings and stuff like that. Yeah, Water on the screen, but, yeah, [01:08:19] Speaker C: I'm not going to cover mine in the garden hose, so I should be okay. But, yeah, the screen's really big and, yeah, I. I think I will. I will like it. I just needed another trigger to keep in my pelican case so that I had things in. In the right spots, but, yeah. What'd you get, Justin? [01:08:39] Speaker A: I can't tell you until I open it, but I can't find. [01:08:41] Speaker B: Is it a box within a box? [01:08:44] Speaker A: I didn't even open the outer box to get to the. In a box. So this might not even be what I think it is. [01:08:50] Speaker C: Well, this could be very interesting. [01:08:53] Speaker B: Yeah, [01:09:01] Speaker C: The suspense is killing all of us. [01:09:03] Speaker A: Socks. I didn't order this. Aha. [01:09:15] Speaker B: What have you got there? [01:09:17] Speaker C: Yeah, Bruce. Bruce, you were right. [01:09:19] Speaker A: Yeah, he's onto it. He's under it. I've been tossing up about doing it, and so it's actually. It's convenient that you're on this show, Lucinda, because I'm getting this to do more behind the scenes content, specifically. [01:09:32] Speaker C: Yes. [01:09:33] Speaker A: And if. If Meta glasses could do the horizontal, because everyone knows I hate vertical. [01:09:41] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, you could just probably take them to your gaff. Take them to your head, if that's what you want to do. [01:09:47] Speaker A: Or do this. [01:09:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:09:49] Speaker A: But, yeah, I think this being that pendant style, the sort of POV videos, I've made them in the past, but without having to have this big, giant GoPro, you know, strap GoPro or something and look like a goose and feel like a goose and not want to do it. But let's see. Yeah, let's see. I hope it's actually as small as I. Oh, they've managed unboxing. [01:10:10] Speaker C: I haven't actually seen one in real life, but it feels they. They look like they're small enough. [01:10:16] Speaker B: Oh, is that it? [01:10:18] Speaker C: Oh, wow. [01:10:19] Speaker A: It's. And it's light, too. [01:10:21] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [01:10:23] Speaker A: It's time. [01:10:23] Speaker C: Can I have a comparison? Have you got, like, your phone somewhere? [01:10:26] Speaker B: Hold it next to your beard. It'll look huge. [01:10:28] Speaker C: Oh, your beer. Yeah, I know what. I know what a beer looks like. [01:10:31] Speaker A: Like, did you say beard or beard? [01:10:34] Speaker B: I said beard, so. [01:10:36] Speaker A: All right, here's a good. Here's a good. It's. [01:10:38] Speaker C: Oh, it's like the size of my iPhone. [01:10:40] Speaker A: It's about the size of the iPhone. Sort of camera square. That's crazy. Thickness wise, obviously it's a bit thicker than a phone, but not a ton, not by much. It's quite light. What's it weigh? It weighs. I mean, this is a. This is an old AirPods case. Okay. And it weighs very similar to an old AirPods case. [01:11:07] Speaker B: Okay. [01:11:07] Speaker A: So it's pretty light, maybe a touch heavier, but, oh, no, it's not empty. Now, where's my. Where's the pendant thing? That's what I was really interested about. Yeah. [01:11:20] Speaker C: Bruce said that the magnet. The magnet system is super helpful. I would imagine so. [01:11:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:11:27] Speaker C: Whack it on. [01:11:28] Speaker B: Oops. [01:11:29] Speaker C: There you go. [01:11:33] Speaker B: There you go. [01:11:34] Speaker C: I wonder, can you use. Can you use the back of, like, a dj? Like, I've got the DJI mics. Can you just, like, magnetize it to your, like a. Like a mic? [01:11:46] Speaker A: That's a good question. I have no idea. But I'm sure it could hang on. Well, it's not quite strong enough to stick to the stubby holder. [01:11:57] Speaker C: Like, I've got these DJI mics with the. [01:12:01] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [01:12:02] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. [01:12:03] Speaker A: I've got. I've got them somewhere. I'm sure it would stick to that. The magnet. [01:12:06] Speaker C: Yeah. Because then you could just like magnetize it to your chest. [01:12:09] Speaker A: Well, that's. Hang on. That's what this pendant is for, though. That's what I want. That's what I really want to try. So it comes with this pendant. What does it say? Rotate the gray area can. Oh, yeah. So you can face it different directions. Take that off. Says, don't wear. If you wear. If you have a pacemaker. [01:12:28] Speaker C: Yeah. These are important warnings, too. [01:12:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:12:33] Speaker C: All right. [01:12:35] Speaker A: So [01:12:39] Speaker B: looks like an emergency call. [01:12:41] Speaker C: Yeah. Older people. He's in the nursing home. [01:12:45] Speaker B: Yep. That's. That. [01:12:52] Speaker C: That does the thing. [01:12:54] Speaker A: Just. It just blends in. It's just there. It's very light. [01:12:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:12:58] Speaker A: You know, it's pretty cool. I hope it works. All right. Bruce said it was good, so. Oh, I guess there's more to it. This is the. This is the. Like the booster. So this is like the lunar module and then it goes. And then it'll launch. No. How does that work? Like that break. It goes around the moon and then back on and then back home. [01:13:31] Speaker C: Great description. [01:13:33] Speaker B: Yep. You should do their ads. [01:13:36] Speaker A: It's got flippy uppy selfie screen, which is pretty handy. So you can do the selfie thing or you could do waist level shooting. Like a Hasselblad. [01:13:49] Speaker B: Just like a Hasselblad. [01:13:51] Speaker C: Exactly like a Hasselblad. [01:13:54] Speaker A: Yeah. I think I'll use it almost all the time off the docking thing. [01:13:59] Speaker C: Yeah. It feels very much like GoPro size on the dock. [01:14:04] Speaker A: It's almost exactly like that. But not as good. The quality won't be as good, obviously. It's got a nice little grip it that GoPro doesn't have on the side. [01:14:12] Speaker B: So what are the specs? What sensor and camera has a lens? Has it got. [01:14:16] Speaker A: Sorry, I have no idea, to be honest. I watched some reviews on what the. It's quite wide. Similar field of view to a GoPro, like. Yeah, super wide. I can't. Quality is not quite as good as a GoPro, obviously, because they've had to fit all of the actual camera stuff into this tiny little. Yeah, tiny little thing. But, yeah, I actually don't know what sensor size it is. I would imagine a little bit bigger than a phone, a little bit smaller than a GoPro. [01:14:51] Speaker C: It'll be a good little camera to just. Yeah. As you said, do the behind the scenes, contenty stuff and put in places that you couldn't put a GoPro. [01:15:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Which I don't think. I really think I'll mainly use it for pov and I'm hoping the audios because. So when I was doing pov, the good videos I did, I was using an Osmo Pocket 3, which is the gimbal thing, which is on a homemade. [01:15:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:15:15] Speaker C: What I'm filming on now. [01:15:16] Speaker A: Oh, is it? Yeah. So on a homemade neck mount. But it's got this little gimbal thing and I'm walking around the streets with this weird little gimbal tucked into my jacket. And I had the wireless mic on there as well. And it was just. It was just a lot of effort and I would just not want to do it. Basically. It was a lot of effort to make me do it. And then I went out there and I didn't feel comfortable. I didn't like it that much. I'm wondering if the audio is good enough with this sitting here. It's just such a simple setup. You just. No wireless microphone, no nothing. You just go. And I can wander around while I'm overseas and just take photos and do some behind the scenes stuff and. [01:15:56] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:15:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:57] Speaker B: Very cool. [01:15:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:59] Speaker B: See? [01:15:59] Speaker A: So Bruce says on a black shirt, you'll forget it's there. People never notice I have it on. And he says, go swimming with it because it's waterproof. The magnet system's useful and the audio is okay. You can pair it with a wireless mic if you want to plan it. Yeah, yeah. I didn't buy the wireless mic as an extra because I was like, I'm not sure if I'll use it for that enough where I'm. Yeah, well, where I'm away from the camera and I need the mic near me, but. Yeah, but I can ease. I think it was like a $80 thing or something. I'll get one if I decide to use it. It came free with this. Greg was excited about this. It's like, what's in the boxes? I thought they would all be in the one box, but there's many boxes. It came with this mini. [01:16:46] Speaker C: It makes the experience more exciting, you know. [01:16:49] Speaker A: It does. And this weird little mount. That's a sad part, is it. It's got like a whole mount system that it's kind of proprietary, so it works with GoPro stuff, but it's got its own stuff and it doesn't even cross Work across its whole insta360's whole system. So it's kind of weird. All right, this is a. I don't know if I'll ever use this or not. This is a. Is that gonna work? This is a ring. To be able to start and stop the recording. [01:17:24] Speaker C: Oh, you have to use that. You've got it. [01:17:27] Speaker A: You have to use it, you know, [01:17:31] Speaker B: so has it got a button on it? Is that all that it has? [01:17:34] Speaker A: It's got a button. Hang on. I need to get the decoder powering into focus. There we go. It's got a button and you press the button and then it starts recording. So I assume if I have it on. Yeah, if I have it on the inside. [01:17:48] Speaker C: Taking it too far. [01:17:50] Speaker A: If you have it on the inside. Come on, Canon, forget about my face. You can press it with your thumb. Yeah, it's true. You're like walking down the street. I'll let you know how the ring goes. Bruisy. [01:18:06] Speaker C: Maybe you can pass it on to Bruce. Maybe. Maybe he will use it more than you will. [01:18:13] Speaker A: Has Tony noticed that before? I tried to stick it to the stubby holder and it has a very light attachment. Commented there. The stubby holder? Stainless steel, you cretin. So it's non ferrous. Tony doesn't even own a camera. [01:18:32] Speaker C: But he knows about metal surfaces. [01:18:33] Speaker A: He knows about ferrous and non ferrous metal surfaces and what yeti stubby holders are made from. Okay. All right, that's my. What's in the box. I'm very excited to use it on my upcoming trip. I'll give it a test run before that. So. [01:18:49] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:18:49] Speaker B: Very cool. [01:18:50] Speaker A: All right, cool. [01:18:51] Speaker B: Let's get on to everyone's favorite. [01:18:53] Speaker A: Yep. [01:18:54] Speaker B: Your images. [01:18:55] Speaker A: Okay, let's do it. Do you want it? Do you want to read? Greg, where are we starting tonight? Who? [01:19:03] Speaker B: Oh, let's start with the cinders. [01:19:06] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot about that. I've got mine too, actually. I forgot about that. [01:19:12] Speaker B: Look at those. [01:19:14] Speaker A: Yeah, sure. [01:19:14] Speaker C: Have you got any, Greg? [01:19:16] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a link there. I've been busy. [01:19:19] Speaker C: You've been busy. That's exciting. [01:19:21] Speaker B: I have. [01:19:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Good idea. [01:19:22] Speaker B: I know it's been good. [01:19:24] Speaker A: Except Lucinda's aren't in the same folder. Will this work? No. One moment. That's not working. Look, can we start? [01:19:41] Speaker B: Anytime you're ready, boss. [01:19:43] Speaker A: Can we start with David Liparati's and [01:19:47] Speaker B: what are you doing? [01:19:47] Speaker C: We can start with not me. It's fine. [01:19:49] Speaker A: Yeah, I'll try and fix Lucindas. Well, we do that. [01:19:53] Speaker B: All right, let me start reading then. [01:19:55] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, let me, let me get one second to get it up on the screen. It's a professional show, guys. [01:20:04] Speaker B: All those audio podcast listeners are loving this. All right, so I really enjoy experimenting with lighting techniques using flash and more recently LED lights. I've been shooting studio still life images, personal work only, for many years. After reading many great photo books, Kodak AmPhoto, Amrest Media, HP, books on corporate industrial, editorial, still life photography and more, I have attended many impersonal photography seminars as well as DVD tutorials to learn more techniques. I studied the lighting techniques, types of lighting gear, how they were used and learned how simple the lighting can be to create a great image with these. The first image was shot using a Fujifinepix S9500 which is a 9 megapixel all in one camera while playing with the lighting. The first image is the cherry Tomato on the fork 1, 500 of a second F10, 100 ISO and then the second image which is all the behind the scenes work. The lighting used was a Sunpack 622 Pro Flash with diffused bare bulb head in a softbox and a small optical slave flash unit. The SunPak 622 Proflash is was a large unit which had interchangeable heads, standard wide angle zoom, diffuse bare bulb, bare bulb infrared ring flash and uses an external battery pack. If you're interested, I have attached an image of some of my photo books that I mentioned in the previous email. Also attached is an image of the SunPak 622 flash that was used in this shoot. I had the zoom diffused and infrared flash heads and clip on battery pack and an external battery pack and unfortunately I no longer have it as it died many years ago. [01:21:54] Speaker C: I used to use a similar flash for school photos. [01:21:58] Speaker B: Really? [01:21:58] Speaker A: Really? [01:21:59] Speaker C: Yep. [01:22:00] Speaker B: That's crazy. [01:22:01] Speaker C: The Mets, the Mets flash that was similar to that, that was mounted to the side. [01:22:06] Speaker A: Yep. With a handle, kind of side handle thing. [01:22:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:22:09] Speaker A: Gosh, they seem to me absolute beast. Yeah, that's what I was going to say because. Do you really? [01:22:17] Speaker C: Yeah, because every time I would buy like a Mamiya or a like medium format camera, the person would just like throw in a Mets flash and I'm like, I don't need this. [01:22:26] Speaker A: That. [01:22:27] Speaker C: I'll take it, I'll take it, it's fine. But I don't need it. [01:22:31] Speaker A: Yeah, they were before my time as a, as a photographer, before I started. And so now whenever I sort of look back and say they just look so professional. They're like professional from a previous era, like so super professional kind of thing. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I know. What is it? They look like they'd be hard to use. That's how professional. [01:22:52] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, they're a bit. They're a bit fiddly but it's all. Yeah, it looks like a. Like a press photographer or paparazzi. [01:22:59] Speaker A: Exactly. [01:23:00] Speaker C: With that. [01:23:00] Speaker B: Look at the size of the external battery pack. [01:23:03] Speaker C: Yeah. It's crazy. I used to use it for school photos as well. So we would use the battery pack and it was like, I don't know, like two, two and a bit iPhones size and heavy. And it was on a strap and you'd put it on your shoulder and then you're carrying this big massive camera with this massive Mets flash hanging off it. [01:23:21] Speaker A: Yeah, crazy. Very crazy. Thanks, David. All right. Yes, thank you, David. Thanks for sending in the extra photos too. And what a collection of photo books. You see those things? [01:23:36] Speaker B: No, I think you skipped through them pretty quick. [01:23:39] Speaker C: I love a good photography book. I love that it was hard copied and PDF'd. [01:23:44] Speaker A: That's what I was going to say. That he's separated into the ones, into the different categories. Yep. [01:23:52] Speaker C: I do love a photo book. And like so many op shops have great, like great almost daggy photo books, you know what I mean, that are like way, way past their use by date but still just like so epic. [01:24:06] Speaker A: Yep. [01:24:07] Speaker B: And also they have like old photography magazines. [01:24:12] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:24:12] Speaker B: That were more like, you know, because they had all the buy swap sell stuff in them at the back and you know. [01:24:18] Speaker C: Yep. [01:24:19] Speaker B: Crazy stuff. It was really cool. Yeah. The kids have bought me. [01:24:23] Speaker C: I love all that stuff now and then. [01:24:24] Speaker B: Yeah, lovely. [01:24:28] Speaker A: Lucinda's photos. [01:24:30] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, my photos. Yeah. I just thought I. I threw in some portrait stuff. This is all done in the studio. This is with a friend, Mel, who's got an upcoming release and it was a bit of a more creative shoot. So I had, you know the like party streamers, they're all like, like Tinsely. So that was in the foreground hanging in front. And then I had bare bulb flash just to try and bounce off the light. And then I was using a Prism Lens FX filter, which is called a mood filter. So it sort of softens everything down. And then some kaleidoscope stuff as well. So this is all done in camera. This is not photoshopped or anything. It's. Yeah, straight in. Straight in camera. So, yeah. Fun doing this. [01:25:19] Speaker A: Creative that. Yeah. How long would you spend playing around with this like during a. How long was the shoot or this section of the shoot? [01:25:29] Speaker C: The shoot. This was a good friend of mine. So we were just like kind of mucking around and like having a bit of a laugh and then went for lunch. But, like two hours. But we did like, I kind of set all this up before she got there logistics wise to like hang the curtain and do that sort of stuff. But we also did like a whole different other look on a different color backdrop and like did like this confetti cannon thing where we had like, I had so much glitter everywhere. So, yeah, like probably an hour for each shoot. This was probably the more labor intensive one, to be honest, because it's. I had like a fan going to try and move the. The curtain to sort of hit the light in different ways so that every single shot that I was shooting off was slightly different. So it was a bit of this, like, trial and error. Like you couldn't. You kind of have to let go of all, like, expectations of what it is that you're going to photograph because it's just kind of up to happenstance as to, like, how the curtain's moving in front of the person. And it's kind of fun, experimental stuff. [01:26:37] Speaker A: I love it. Great idea. And I wonder whether that was the plan where it's like, I'm going to do this, but we've also got a couple of other backgrounds and stuff that we'll do. Get a few different looks and this will be whatever it is and it can be a bit different. [01:26:50] Speaker C: Yeah, it's definitely on theme. It's very celestial kind of themed. I think the release is called Saturn. So, like a lot of kind of like sparkly kind of elements going on. So, yeah, that was, that was the, the vibe for it. So, yeah, I already had this idea in my head when she sort of sent that to me and I knew that like the star filter would work really well. And she had specifically pointed out that she liked this particular filter that I'd used with a different client. So I kind of had like a few starting points for, for the shoot. But yeah, she kind of left the whole creative up to me, which was kind of fun because I don't get to often do that. [01:27:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:27:34] Speaker C: And yeah, she just like fully trusted that I knew exactly vision wise, what. What needed to happen. [01:27:41] Speaker A: Very cool. I'll. I'll go through some of your other ones. [01:27:46] Speaker C: Just rip through these. These ones are like, so from Port Fairy. So I was on the festival team again with Port Fairy Folk Festival Festival. So lots of like, Cool venues. Like, this is a beautiful church that has all this stained glass. There's another shot, like a wider shot in there as well. And yeah, just lots of really cool venues. I always love shooting this festival. This is the second year that I've been asked to come and document. And yeah, lots of vibe stuff. So for me, it's. It's less artist stuff. Um, at this festival, I'm mainly on sort of more crowd participation kind of things, but I do tend to sometimes shoot some of the artists as well. There's the other church shot. So, yeah, they just. They find beautiful spaces within the township and just sort of put music in there. So this is like an artist on the bill. And these people are busking for a kids charity. I can't remember what it was exactly, but they're all playing. It's like an orchestra of piano accordions. There's like. [01:28:48] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [01:28:49] Speaker C: There's like eight. Eight people that are probably over the age of 70 playing piano accordions on the street. It is incredible. And the girl standing there has actually got a set that she's playing in five minutes time down the street. And so she was just like singing along. And so this is just like going on busking all around the township, which is kind of cool. [01:29:12] Speaker A: That's awesome. [01:29:14] Speaker C: But, yeah, so lots of wide shots. Yeah, more artisty things as well. And then this is like one of my favorite things. They had a polka workshop, so how to polka. And it was in this, this hall and all these people are dressed up in all the beautiful traditional outfits. And then people are just like, having the best time. I could not wipe the smile off my face. When I got back to the actual festival grounds, I was like, guys, I just. I just photographed the best thing ever because this beautiful lady has got like all like, she's going a million miles an hour. It was like 30 degrees and the fabric's flying everywhere and everyone's giggling and having the time of their life. Like, it was. It was so much fun. And this, it's. The town hall is like maybe 3 meters wide. This little, little hall that they're doing this in. So, like, everyone's on top of each other and everyone's just like getting in there and having. Having the best time. So, yeah, it was fun. [01:30:14] Speaker A: That's very awesome. [01:30:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:30:16] Speaker C: Yeah. This kid spotted me. I think he thought I was shooting video and he's like, arms in the air. And then I did last. Last weekend, the weekend before, I did a Dolly Parton tribute show at Geelong Arts Center. [01:30:31] Speaker A: Wow. [01:30:33] Speaker C: Yeah. So I shoot in Geelong Art Center a fair bit. The dressing rooms are epic. All the art center has been sort of redone and so yeah, I did this Dolly Parton tribute show. There was two acts and an intermission in the middle and yeah, it was a lot of fun. Lots of glitter and wigs. [01:30:54] Speaker B: Yeah. Lots of weeks. [01:30:55] Speaker C: All the things. Yeah. Costume changes, all the, all the stuff. So yeah, it's nice to photograph in a, in a theater setting because the lighting's slightly nicer and all that sort of good stuff. [01:31:10] Speaker A: But yeah, yeah. [01:31:11] Speaker B: Oh, these are amazing. [01:31:12] Speaker A: Easy. You've been so busy. [01:31:14] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, I love it. [01:31:21] Speaker A: The. What was I gonna say? The cannons, they're just so good. You can see it can't be in the images. Greg, can you think? No, just me. [01:31:32] Speaker B: Sorry. [01:31:33] Speaker A: Yeah, just you. [01:31:36] Speaker B: That's pretty remarkable. [01:31:38] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. So great. All right, let's do, let's do a couple more ones from the sheet, Greg, and then I'll bring yours up. [01:31:52] Speaker B: All right, let's look at Greg Crackers Carrick's image. This somewhat abstract image signifies the ongoing journey of the photographer on the never ending quest of gaining any recognition of value in today's AI saturated media landscape. Or not. Whatever. I can't remember where or when I was or what I was using at the time. So really, gear doesn't matter that that's all we got. [01:32:19] Speaker C: I love that. [01:32:20] Speaker A: That's classic Greg Carrick. [01:32:22] Speaker B: And he's just arrived. Has just arrived in time for your image. [01:32:26] Speaker A: Heard his name, he did come romping in. That's awesome. [01:32:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:32:33] Speaker A: Who have we cut up next? [01:32:35] Speaker B: Next we've got Nev Clark. Haven't seen. Oh no, we had one of Nev's last week, didn't we? Had the shark shot. Nev Clark has sent in an image. Stillness and tranquility. GFX 1/ hundreds Mark II and a GF 20 to 35. This was shot in Denmark, Western Australia. How is the serenity? [01:32:58] Speaker A: Beautiful. [01:32:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:32:59] Speaker A: Jetties. Jetties. [01:33:01] Speaker C: I just don't have the, the capacity to shoot images like this. It's just a whole different. [01:33:07] Speaker A: Neither do I. What do you think it is? What do we, what do we. [01:33:10] Speaker C: I don't know. [01:33:10] Speaker A: What, what don't we have? [01:33:12] Speaker C: Well, I can't shoot a horizon line straight to save my life, so that's, that's the starting point. [01:33:18] Speaker A: Me neither. [01:33:19] Speaker C: I just don't see the world like this and I'm really upset about it, but I'm so glad that Nev can. Can see and capture it the way that he does. [01:33:28] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:33:29] Speaker A: He definitely puts the time in. And I know that that is patience. [01:33:34] Speaker C: That's what it is. [01:33:35] Speaker A: Well, patience, but also like, get up, get up, shoot sunrise every day, or not every day, but many days, you know, and eventually you're going to get better at sort of finding these shots and stuff. But, yeah, it's. It's definitely something I just don't have is that next level ability of landscape images. [01:33:56] Speaker C: Yeah, I just. Yeah, I don't know what it is. But landscapes for me, I have always struggled with, like, I can take a landscape, but I just. Not to this level. [01:34:06] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, same. I can. If you present me with a beautiful landscape, I'll expose a photo of it. That's. [01:34:12] Speaker C: Yeah, I could. I can point a camera in a [01:34:14] Speaker A: direction, but yeah, yeah, it's going to that next level. [01:34:19] Speaker C: A whole different skill. [01:34:21] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a special thing. All right, let's go. Do you want to do yours, Greg, now? [01:34:31] Speaker B: Yeah, sure. [01:34:34] Speaker C: What have you been up to, Greg? [01:34:36] Speaker B: Oh, I've been walking lots, Lucinda. [01:34:38] Speaker C: Walking. [01:34:39] Speaker B: Walking lots. Yeah. And I'm always. I've gotten myself into a really good routine of just taking my camera everywhere I go. One of my cameras. [01:34:47] Speaker C: See, that's also something that I need to get better at. [01:34:50] Speaker B: Yeah, it makes a huge difference. I'm finding that I'm just more tuned in to seeing as a photographer. [01:34:58] Speaker C: Have you been using the. The photographer's playbook? Have you. How are you going with that? [01:35:05] Speaker B: I have, [01:35:08] Speaker C: because that was definitely one of the projects I. I sent my students was that you had to go for a walk without your camera, and then you had to go back and do the. The walk with your camera. [01:35:17] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a lot of great stuff in here. A lot of it. There's assignments, and then there's also artists kind of breakdown of how they did a project, but there's also some great ideas. And Sasha got me another book about photography. It's. It's. Yeah, I haven't had a chance to look through this one anyway. Yeah, I. Just taking the camera with me wherever I go means that I'm always. I've always got my photography eye on. I'm always looking for light and composition and, you know, opportunity and so, like this one. Yeah. Thank you. This one I shot. I was on the way to Bendigo to go catch up with Justin and Jim and Yelena on Friday, and I was there very, very early, and I just used the opportunity to grab some shots because it was early. There were, you know, there weren't many people around, and so there Was sort of. I'm really enjoying that opportunity to try and capture scenes that should be populated by people but are not. [01:36:23] Speaker C: Yeah, I like it. [01:36:24] Speaker B: And it's something I found myself doing on some of my trips to Japan years ago where I tried to. I sort of focus on this whole abandoned Japan kind of concept. And yeah, so I've just been. Always have my camera with me. Most of these were shot with my little X70. These ones in particular at the subway and yeah, just. Yeah, it's just. It's hard once I, if I've got the camera in my hand, my eye turns on and I just can't not see light. You know, I'm always seeing that. [01:36:58] Speaker C: It's like a state of mind. It's like you just flick the switch. [01:37:03] Speaker B: Yep, indeed. [01:37:08] Speaker A: I saw this one. Yeah, I saw this one on Facebook and I think this is a very cool photo. [01:37:13] Speaker C: It's such an interesting perspective. [01:37:16] Speaker A: Yes. [01:37:18] Speaker B: Yeah, I shoot from the hip a lot, especially when I'm using the X70. [01:37:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:37:22] Speaker B: You know, it's small, it's discreet, it's got a flip up screen but also it's got a wider angle and it just captures those sort of. That sort of slightly elevated from the hip up view and you get really interesting kind of angles on people. And this is a, this is a laneway in, in the city in Melbourne and the hot. I can't remember what it's called but we went. Sasha and I went and met friends just a little bit further up at a cafe yesterday. [01:37:49] Speaker C: Yeah, I remember that. There's good cafes down there. I've tried to get into a cafe once down there and it's. [01:37:54] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, we had to wait a bit but gosh, it was worth. It was such a good feed. But the whole laneways, all these old brick buildings and then the little narrow footpath on each side is just from one end of the. Of the laneway to the other. Just pot plants. People have just filled it with pot plants. Locals who live there, businesses. It's just such a gorgeous little oasis smack in the middle of the. You know, what can be a bit of a concrete jungle in Melbourne at times. So yeah, it was a good scene. Yeah, and great light. [01:38:28] Speaker A: You know, the lighting on everybody is perfect. And then leading you back into this sort of dark bottom corner, you start to see all the other little faces start to pop out of the darkness which you guys might. It might be a little bit hard to see on, on the, on the stream, but it is there. [01:38:45] Speaker C: And I find it really interesting too that her facial, like, her facial expression. Like. Yeah, she's obviously pondering something or thinking about something or. And she's not on her phone, which is like, constantly what you're. What you're seeing when you're walking through the city. I noticed it today when I was like, leaving the recital center. Like, everyone's, like, rushing around and they're on their phone and not paying attention to the world and like, it's just such an interesting. Like, that's, that's my first thought when I saw this. I was like, what is she thinking about? [01:39:16] Speaker B: Yeah, And I think I. When I posted this one, I think I titled it Glide because she just seemed to be sort of floating. [01:39:23] Speaker A: Floating. It has that serene look. [01:39:26] Speaker B: And. [01:39:29] Speaker A: Yeah, definitely, definitely has this. Look at that. She's. That everyone else might be hustling and bustling and she's just floating through. Yeah, she's just floating through life on a cloud. On a happy cloud. [01:39:43] Speaker B: So. [01:39:44] Speaker A: Yeah. Is that now? Okay, so we asked. We're supposed to be picking one image. We're gonna. We're really gonna do our best to do it each week to show. But. But this week is a bit of a. I know I've. I've kind of done a similar thing as well. And I was like, well, it'll just be me, so that's okay. And then I saw your folder and then we've actually got a big. We've got a big. We got a big folder. David A. David's Skinner as well. But we are going to really try and stick to this one image thing. But I'm curious, Greg, if. Of. Of these images, is there one that would have been. If. If you had to just pick your one image for this week, which one would it have been? [01:40:24] Speaker B: Wow, that's hard. I probably would have chosen that one. I probably would have chosen the one. Yeah, this. [01:40:30] Speaker A: This one. Yeah. [01:40:31] Speaker C: I think, yeah, because there's also a lot stronger one. [01:40:34] Speaker B: Thanks. Thanks, guys. Yeah, we. We spent a bit of time in this laneway because while we're waiting for our friends to show up, we went and said, oh, can we get a table? And they said, yeah, it's going to be 30 minutes. So we put our name down for a table. And then next to the cafe there was like this sort of really cool design product store. And they were selling, you know, like just cool kind of like stylish products. And they had really nice prints and artwork up on the walls and they were selling, you know, Godzilla jigsaws. And it was just a really cool kind of design, concept, store, but then also just hanging out in the laneway waiting for our table. So I got time to just observe what was going on. And so that whole. That whole element of that sticks with this story for me. It wasn't just about that moment where I looked up, saw this lady walking towards me, lifted the camera, and pointed the button, press the button. It was. There was like, you know, there was a whole experience and an amazing meal and catching up with friends, and then Sasha and I went off and did a bit of shopping, you know, like. So the whole. That whole experience is tied into this image for me, which. Yeah, which is great. [01:41:41] Speaker A: Bruce likes the locker image, and that was probably the other. The other stabs one for me of the whole lot for just different. [01:41:48] Speaker C: I like the repetition. [01:41:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:41:51] Speaker B: Yep, yep, yep. Actually interesting that that Brucie likes this one because when he came to Melbourne last and we caught up for a street walk, there was a set of lockers at another part of Southern Cross station. And I caught a photo there with just one person in the locker room. It wasn't this room. It was a smaller room, but, yeah, it was just interesting. I was with Bruce when I took that shot. Not this one, the other one. [01:42:14] Speaker C: I'd love to see it in black and white. [01:42:17] Speaker A: That'd be interesting. [01:42:19] Speaker C: Yeah. I wonder how that would look. [01:42:21] Speaker B: Yeah, for me, the orange makes it. [01:42:25] Speaker A: I think so, too. [01:42:26] Speaker C: I like the orange. [01:42:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:42:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:42:28] Speaker C: But a contrasty black. [01:42:30] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. There's a lot of contrast. And once you take away that, the power of that orange color, I think other things would become apparent. Like the reflection in the floor. [01:42:42] Speaker A: Yes. [01:42:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:42:43] Speaker B: You don't really see it as much now because the color dominates, but if you strip that color away, I think it'd be a very different image. [01:42:50] Speaker C: Yeah, I just really love, like, the repeated shapes and then the light coming from the top and. Yeah, I'm just like, oh, yeah, black and white. [01:42:59] Speaker A: Show us next week, Greg. [01:43:00] Speaker B: All right, I'll do it for you, kiddo. [01:43:03] Speaker C: Thanks. [01:43:05] Speaker A: All right, up next, a big one from David Skinner. [01:43:10] Speaker B: All right, I'll start reading. [01:43:11] Speaker A: Yeah. Geez, David. [01:43:14] Speaker B: Talk about a story. [01:43:15] Speaker C: It was a crop. We did have a crop for tonight. [01:43:19] Speaker A: It is a crop. [01:43:20] Speaker B: Okay. The images tell a story. Not. Not. Are you going to keep talking while I read, or should I go bumper crop? The images tell a story not just about going up in a commercial balloon that takes 20 passengers and having a fabulous time, but about the smaller balloons that hold one or two people competing for a composition to drop a weighted streamer on to a cross waiting for competing for a. That doesn't make sense to me. Did I read that wrong? Anyway, let me keep moving. Extremely difficult. The pilots only get to find out their positions just prior to takeoff. The organizers have set takeoff and the markers based on prevailing winds. They get a green flag to send, say when they are allowed to lift off and there is a time limit. More points are awarded the closest to the marker and how many markers they achieve. Also, they're dropping ribbons, I think is what. Yes, what he's saying. [01:44:17] Speaker A: Streamer onto the cross marked on the ground. Yeah. Yes. [01:44:21] Speaker B: So it's a bit competition. I went up twice last Monday, the first day. And then yesterday, which was Saturday, I went a second time as I set my ISO to what I thought was auto. But actually, actually 0.3. That was ISO 31 on a Nikon. So I had many shots to recover. The second day, much better. First day with a Nikkor 24 to 120 yesterday using the Tamron 70 to 300. A bit more reach Yesterday, Gold Rush ballooning were able to put up a second balloon. So I was able to photograph that and compare how big the balloon I went up in compared to the competitor's balloon, about five times larger. The experience allowed me to photograph the competitive fleet as well as the landscape from a balloon. Something I would never forget. And so glad I've done it. I chose shutter priority to assist in sharp images. Auto ISO Day 2. I endeavored to take my time to compose a good composition. Thinking of cropping later on for Square and Panos. No time to check the screen. So if I was not happy with the first attempt, I took two or three more or less the same composition. The balloon is continually moving across the ground as well as spinning. So there's a buffeting as the pilot pulls on various ropes to steer where he wants to go. The choice of a higher shutter speed paid off. That worked reasonably well, all things considered. I took 1200 odd raw shots and kept 178. Enjoy these images. The last email will be from yesterday. I think that's all we need to read. [01:45:52] Speaker A: Yeah, I think so. There's a ton of great shots in here. I. I'm sort of just moving through them, but I'll cut. We can come back to a few. But there's just different angles and perspectives of, yeah, everything. I'm like, yeah, I want to do this. Yeah, I want to go up in one of these things. Well, it. It looks more fun when there's tons of them. Actually. It makes the like people being able to see things like this would be so cool. Yeah, [01:46:24] Speaker B: I love this one. [01:46:26] Speaker C: The light's really cool. [01:46:32] Speaker A: Yeah, that morning light. Beautiful landscape. Oh, look at that, look at that. Wow. Just balloons everywhere. Brings out the childishness, doesn't it? [01:46:46] Speaker B: It does. [01:46:52] Speaker A: X marks the spot. They're so big and colorful. Gold rush ballooning. What an experience, David. [01:47:10] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, I love that. That's amazing. [01:47:13] Speaker A: Yeah. Kangaroo. [01:47:24] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. [01:47:27] Speaker A: I think that's the. That's the full set. [01:47:30] Speaker B: Yeah. Incredible. [01:47:31] Speaker A: Yeah, Just amazing shots. What an experience. What a photographic experience. [01:47:38] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:47:40] Speaker C: Great little photo story. [01:47:42] Speaker A: Yeah. Someone could almost, I don't know, I mean they probably can't because I don't know how any of this stuff works. But imagine if someone ran a workshop where you like either you have a whole balloon for say six photographers to run a workshop in. That one balloon and that's. The workshop is just going on one of these big balloons. [01:48:05] Speaker C: I'm sure that exists, surely. [01:48:07] Speaker A: And if it doesn't, someone should be doing it because that'd be great. What an experience that'd be. [01:48:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:48:13] Speaker C: Justin will be your first customer. Whoever, whoever gets that off the ground first. [01:48:17] Speaker A: Absolutely gets it off the ground. I see what you did there. Thank you for sending all those through, David. Great use of the. That's our. So our one image poll policy can be broken if you've got a. Yeah, photo story, a set story, something. Something that you know, a cohesive set that you would like to send in. If you're listening back later and you have never sent an image in, just email your image to me justinuckystraps.com and you can be on next week's show. No particular type of image and whatever tickles your fancy unless we're running a theme, but we haven't got a theme yet. We will have one coming up soon. [01:49:00] Speaker B: But don't forget to also include, you know, your base camera settings and maybe a little explanation, the story behind it. Just a paragraph or a couple of sentences. Just saying this is where I was and this is what I was doing. [01:49:13] Speaker A: Oh, and please, please, this is new. This is actually something I was thinking of today. If you could pretty please rename the file to have your name in it. That would be just so delightful for me. That would have reduced my workload on a Monday afternoon by quite a bit. So yeah, if you can just title it your name and then whatever the image is or the number or whatever you want, that would just be a life changing upgrade. Please. Thank you. [01:49:41] Speaker C: Public service announcement over. [01:49:43] Speaker A: Yeah, I always Forget Lisa Leach. Up next. [01:49:49] Speaker B: Yeah, Lisa says she's an apology for the podcast this evening as I'm currently gallivanting around New Zealand south island on a workshop with Bret Wood. Lisa Milne, courtesy of Greg Cromier. I've been exploring some street photography in recent weeks for some diversity. This image was taken in a Melbourne laneway. I was drawn to the lone lady in her own world, disconnected from the hustle and bustle of the lane. I'll have to watch the catch up for episode to see your feedback. The two plus hour time difference and sunrise shoot looming in the morning would make joining you live. It's had problematic. I don't think that's a good excuse. [01:50:28] Speaker A: That's right, Lisa. [01:50:29] Speaker C: I hope you're in bed, I hope you're asleep and I hope you're watching this as a replay and not right now. [01:50:35] Speaker A: They won't be. They'll all be sitting up talking about camera gear and lenses and stuff. Stuff. [01:50:40] Speaker C: And they'll be having their own podcast. [01:50:42] Speaker A: They probably will be. They should just live stream the whole thing. Yep. [01:50:46] Speaker C: This is gorgeous. [01:50:48] Speaker B: It is beautiful shot. [01:50:50] Speaker C: I love the movement. [01:50:52] Speaker B: Yep. Very well done. [01:50:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:50:56] Speaker B: And the black and white. Yeah. And the back of the black and white just. That's just beautiful the way that the people are blaring into one another. [01:51:06] Speaker C: Yeah. Like calms the chaos. [01:51:09] Speaker A: If it was color there'd be a lot going on. [01:51:12] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You might. [01:51:15] Speaker A: It might take a while to find your way to the. The main characters of the shot. [01:51:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:51:24] Speaker A: Oh, Felicity says she sent three. I don't even know if I've seen yours. Felicity. Let me have a look now. Let me have a look. [01:51:32] Speaker B: Do you want me to read the next one? [01:51:34] Speaker A: Yeah, let's do the next one. [01:51:35] Speaker B: Let's do David Mascara. So this is an image I took from the front seat of an 18 wheeler. I took a road trip with my old high school buddy who did 20 years in the army and over 30 years as a truck driver. I've done three road trips with him across the country and what a great way to see the country. He has gotten me to where Bridges of Macedon county was. Madison county was filled with. So I could document that. And on a different trip he had gotten me Little Bighorn where Custard made his last stand. Third trip was all the way across the country. And I interviewed other truck drivers and took their portraits at truck stops. Some great stories. One in particular was a Navy veteran whose nickname was Preacher. About four or five months later, his wife and son messaged me and thanked me for the photo of him because he had just passed of COVID This is probably the best reward of doing this type of photography because of things like this. And we'll see you all Wednesday, aka our Thursday. The. The image was shot with a D850 and a 200. This is AIs lens. [01:52:39] Speaker A: Yeah, that's an old. It's a. It's an older Nikon. Older Nikon lenses were. AIs lenses. I'm not sure even what that stands for, but it was just a designation. I can't remember what. What it meant. [01:52:51] Speaker C: But. [01:52:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Very cool. [01:52:54] Speaker B: Very cool photo. It almost feels like an optical illusion. The way that the road bends in the bottom third of the frame. It really draws you in, doesn't it? [01:53:06] Speaker C: Yeah, those leading lines are just. [01:53:08] Speaker B: Yep. [01:53:09] Speaker A: Does almost look. Yeah, it looks a little bit weird, doesn't it? Like. Yeah, a little bit. I don't know. [01:53:16] Speaker B: Like, it's almost like that movie Inception with the building stabilizing up. [01:53:20] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. Great perspective. [01:53:25] Speaker B: Felicity sent them a couple of weeks ago. [01:53:28] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, we've already shown them. Felicity. That's all good. Send him one for next week. [01:53:36] Speaker B: Yep. [01:53:38] Speaker A: Yes. [01:53:39] Speaker B: Great shot, David. [01:53:40] Speaker A: Yeah, driving across that country is so cool. [01:53:47] Speaker C: I'd love to see the portraits, too. [01:53:50] Speaker A: Well, he did. I don't know if we should. He actually sent in a separate email and said not for the show. Okay. But he sent the portrait of. Maybe we can show it on the. On next week. [01:54:02] Speaker C: Yeah, I would love. I would love to see the collection if. If you are happy to share it, because that sounds like such a great, like, photo book or, like, collection of images, especially with all the stories. [01:54:18] Speaker B: For sure. [01:54:19] Speaker A: Traveling wanderer. [01:54:21] Speaker B: Very cool. [01:54:22] Speaker A: There we go. [01:54:22] Speaker B: Up next, John Hall. So, John, here's another shot from one of our recent walks around Sydney. This one was taken at the Carriage Works in Redfern. This is with the Nikon Z6 mark 3.40mil F2 at F8.1 12 50th of a second. ISO 100. [01:54:48] Speaker A: Now that's a cool frame with that person in. Takes it from just a photo that you'd be like. Oh, yeah, the cool lines and archways and stuff like that. And then you add the person in it and it changes the whole thing to. [01:55:04] Speaker B: Yeah, it does. [01:55:05] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:55:05] Speaker A: Takes to the next level. [01:55:07] Speaker B: And the way that the shadowed area just creates this perfect line. It's almost like it's been cut, you know, from the. From the greater picture. [01:55:18] Speaker C: Yeah, it's like two images now. [01:55:20] Speaker A: Now, what would this look like in black and white? Better. Different Yeah. [01:55:25] Speaker C: I don't know. [01:55:27] Speaker B: Hard to say. [01:55:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:55:29] Speaker C: I feel like it's got so much texture in the bricks that maybe it wouldn't work, but then. Yeah, it'd be interesting to see. [01:55:39] Speaker A: I'd love to see it. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. It's really interesting with it. Yeah. With the texture and the archways and stuff. I wonder what it would look like. Great work, John. Carmen Taverner Photography. Greetings from New York. Best 7:00am Live stream. LOL. Hey, well, thanks for joining us. Hope New York. What's it like? Starting to get warm up there now. Maybe heading towards summer. Spring, as Dennis says. Yes. The person is so perfect. Yeah, it's just right there. [01:56:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:56:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. He says. John says, tried it. Didn't work. Color in the bricks makes it. I love that you tried it. [01:56:24] Speaker C: Yeah. I just don't. I don't know if there's enough cont. Like enough whites in it to. To warrant it going black and white. It'd be very muddy, I reckon. [01:56:37] Speaker A: Yeah, good point. Good point. [01:56:41] Speaker B: Wonderful image, John. Thank you. [01:56:43] Speaker C: Yeah, Very cool. [01:56:45] Speaker B: Yes. And speak of the devil, Dennis Smith is up next. [01:56:52] Speaker C: What's Dennis been up to? [01:56:54] Speaker B: Oh, who knows? I posted this image to Instagram in response to a comment regarding my creation of work in precarious spots. This image was made in the dark, under a bright moon, but still dark. Lots of practice and planning in daylight, but no getting around the fact that a fall here would be a certain wheelchair and probably death. As always, one exposure. I was alone, but someone knew where I was. No one wants to be finding a week we called Stinky Body Fresh is best. February 2014. A 5D Mark III 70 to 270. [01:57:28] Speaker A: This is from the archives, then. [01:57:29] Speaker B: It is from the archives. ISO. It is f 2.8 for 179 seconds. [01:57:38] Speaker A: Nuts. [01:57:40] Speaker C: Dennis, stop climbing on precarious places, please. Yeah, it's an epic shot. [01:57:47] Speaker A: It is an epic shot. I love it. Yeah, I love it. I can't believe it that you scare me. [01:57:53] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:57:57] Speaker A: That's under a bright. [01:57:59] Speaker C: Yeah. How is this nighttime? [01:58:00] Speaker A: It looks like. I know. [01:58:02] Speaker B: It's crazy, isn't it? [01:58:04] Speaker A: It is crazy. [01:58:06] Speaker D: Wild. [01:58:08] Speaker A: Wildest. Dennis would say old school. [01:58:10] Speaker B: Yeah. Amazing shot, then. [01:58:14] Speaker A: Epic. More from the archives. That's. Yeah, that's nuts. And in 2014, people would have just been like, yeah, exactly. [01:58:22] Speaker C: Now everyone's like, that's AI. [01:58:24] Speaker A: That's AI. Yeah, yeah. Wonderful. [01:58:30] Speaker B: Yeah, I love it. [01:58:31] Speaker A: Keep them coming. [01:58:35] Speaker B: And lucky. Last. Before we look at Justin's Phil Thompson. [01:58:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:58:41] Speaker B: I titled it Promenade in the Promenade Yeah. Promenade in the mist. And it is a photo of the little jetty in front of the carousel on the Geelong waterfront on a very foggy morning a few years ago. Shot with my Pentax K3 with the Pentax 18 to 135, 2 second shutter speed, F16 and ISO 200. Shot while lying down on my stomach. And. And handheld. [01:59:07] Speaker A: That's a great photo, isn't it? [01:59:10] Speaker C: Yeah, very cool. [01:59:11] Speaker A: So weird that the, the, the post, the light pole is dead center. [01:59:18] Speaker C: It's such a weird. It's such a weird jetty. [01:59:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:59:22] Speaker C: Like I drive past it almost every day. It's. [01:59:24] Speaker A: Oh dear. [01:59:25] Speaker C: It's such a weird. Yeah, yeah. It's down the waterfront. [01:59:28] Speaker A: It would all. Wouldn't. The light post is almost always on one side. [01:59:32] Speaker C: Yes. Yeah. But this jetty, for whatever reason is. And it's not very long either. Like it's probably only 10 meters long. Like it's, it's a very bizarre jetty in this very weird spot. [01:59:46] Speaker B: It's. [01:59:47] Speaker A: It's such a unique composition giving it this kind of like pyramid shape through the photo with that. [01:59:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:59:54] Speaker A: You know, point source light in the middle. It's so interesting. [01:59:59] Speaker B: And also the contrast between the, the hard lines of the jetty and the softness of the fog. [02:00:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [02:00:06] Speaker B: You know, it's really cutting into it. But the light of the fog is just beautiful. I'd love to see that printed. [02:00:14] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, that would look great. Printed big. [02:00:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:00:20] Speaker A: What an epic location. [02:00:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:00:25] Speaker A: It almost looks like what someone would. What a, like, what do you call them? Like a graphic artist would come up with for like some sort of surreal jetty art. You know, like if they were coming up with something that was a bit different and they created this rather than took a photograph of it. [02:00:44] Speaker C: Yeah. [02:00:45] Speaker B: That's a beautiful shot though. [02:00:49] Speaker A: Nev Clark says it reminds, reminds him of a video game. Silent Hill. [02:00:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:00:53] Speaker A: Oh, maybe that was the other one. Maybe that was Dens. Maybe he's a bit behind because I was like, I don't know if this would be. I don't know. I don't know what that video game's about. [02:01:03] Speaker B: Oh, he does have it on canvas here at home. Oh, wonderful. [02:01:06] Speaker C: There you go. [02:01:06] Speaker A: Nice. [02:01:07] Speaker B: That just makes it so cool, doesn't it? Finishes the story, Phil. [02:01:13] Speaker A: Yeah. That's crazy. [02:01:14] Speaker B: An epic shot. [02:01:19] Speaker A: Okay, so I have more than one image. I thought I was going to be the only one. [02:01:23] Speaker C: Justin, you broke the rules. [02:01:25] Speaker A: But we're gonna, we're gonna play a little game. So I, I was actually down in Melbourne last Night. Elena had an appointment this morning, so we went down and it was easier just stay nearby. And I went for a walk with the camera, but with no pressure and just photographed things that were. That I was interested in, things that made me curious. Perspectives and things. No, I didn't. I actually didn't take many shots at all. I was like, if I don't take any photos, if I'm not. Because I really struggle to get inspired in Melbourne to take photos. [02:02:01] Speaker C: Interesting. [02:02:02] Speaker A: We're in Docklands, and so these are five photos that I took that I was interested in. And I want to see if you guys see anything in them and if so, which ones are like a photo and which ones you like. I don't see. I don't see much in that. Be ruthless. That's you too. Chat. You guys can light me up. Is there anything here or are these not really shots? And if anything, is there one that stands out as an actual photo amongst the others? All right, hang on. Here we go. Get that up there. And like that. So that's a man fishing. It's cloudy. Oh, I like that. That's the strange cow tree. [02:03:01] Speaker C: Someone needs to explain to me why there's a cow in a tree. [02:03:04] Speaker A: As I said, I just took photos of things that interested me because I've never seen that before. And I was like, oh, really? [02:03:11] Speaker D: Yeah. [02:03:11] Speaker A: I was like, huh, that's an interesting. [02:03:14] Speaker B: That was one of the first sculptures they put up when Docklands was being formed. [02:03:19] Speaker A: I might have seen it in my peripheral. I had never realized there's a cow in a tree. Like I've been past that area before, but I never looked at that. [02:03:27] Speaker C: Haven't noticed. [02:03:28] Speaker A: No, I had not noticed it at all. I don't know how long it's been there for, but. Yeah. [02:03:33] Speaker B: For those of you that are only listening to audio, it's an abstract sculpture of a cow in a tree. It's not. [02:03:38] Speaker C: It's not a real cow. Is about like 15 size sizes bigger than an actual cow. [02:03:44] Speaker A: Yeah, it's big tree too, but it's a fake tree. As you get closer, you realize. Okay, [02:03:59] Speaker B: Yep, yep. [02:04:02] Speaker C: Oh, I like the light. [02:04:05] Speaker B: Yeah, me too. [02:04:10] Speaker A: Okay. [02:04:11] Speaker B: Yep. [02:04:12] Speaker A: And then the last one. Classic nighttime doc lanes. I do like that. [02:04:22] Speaker B: I love that. I love that you've leaned into a heavier, more contrasty editing style than you usually do. [02:04:30] Speaker C: Yeah, I love a contrasty. [02:04:32] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Same on the contrasty black and whites. But this is probably like. This is a fairly aggressive one. [02:04:40] Speaker D: This. [02:04:41] Speaker A: This particular one. [02:04:42] Speaker C: Yeah, I think it works, though. All the lights on. In the, in the buildings. The, the bolty lit up the tops of the pylons. [02:04:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:04:53] Speaker A: Do you want me to tell you why I took each photo or do you just want to hit me with your thoughts? [02:05:01] Speaker C: Tell us why. [02:05:02] Speaker B: Tell us why. [02:05:04] Speaker A: Well, this one was. This one, those that obviously these pylons are in a million people, beautiful shots and they do, they do give some sort of element of interest to my brain. But it was actually that it was those buildings that seemed to be coming from a lit up sky and almost, almost like they were a ship arriving. That's what it felt like. So the buildings were really the subject of that. Despite the fact that your eyes are mainly initially drawn to the, the py ones. Because those white caps. I don't know what that shot would look like without the white cappy things. Probably better. Don't know this one. I'm a sucker for what I call flat lays on street photography. Like if I'm flat on perspective and I wasn't quite flat on here because I couldn't get to the right shot. But there's a guy. Whoop, there's a guy on a bike. On a bike here. [02:06:05] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [02:06:06] Speaker A: So I got that as fast as I could. I wanted him obviously framed in the thingy as he was riding past because I saw him coming along here where it's darker and I was like, oh, here we go, here we go. And I was trying to go to my right to get more flat on. Ideally I would have been 50 meters to my right to be more square on with the building. [02:06:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:06:28] Speaker A: But it was that and the dramatic sky and obviously the, all the geometric shapes and reflections and stuff. And then this one, there was just a lot going on with the swan. The smiley face and there's sort of birds in a few different spots. [02:06:45] Speaker C: Lots of bird motifs going on. [02:06:48] Speaker A: Yeah, bird, bird. [02:06:51] Speaker C: Two in the sky. [02:06:53] Speaker A: Yeah, two in the sky. And it just kind of, I don't know, there was just, just something about piqued my interest. And then what was the. Yeah, the cow. I mean that was just the cow. And the lines of those cranes are what made that interesting to me, the upgrade. [02:07:09] Speaker C: Those cranes are satisfying, aren't they? [02:07:12] Speaker A: They're satisfying, exactly. Just lined up and reaching up towards the cow. I crouched down a little bit to make sure they were like not, not crossing through the tree at all. They were framed. And then the little, the little dollop of gap in the clouds which you guys can't really see, but there's a little opening. It was a little opening up the top there that I liked. [02:07:36] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Yep. [02:07:37] Speaker A: Whoops. And then obviously this. This dude, this guy was just fun. [02:07:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Just. [02:07:43] Speaker A: Just having a fish by himself and just in this nice little opening, but with the. The light flowing through on the water. But all the water was really dark everywhere else, so it. Yeah. [02:07:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:07:58] Speaker A: Anyway, that's that. Oh, yeah. And sorry. NEVs. NEV says Q3. They were all shut with the Q3. Yes. But. Yeah, I don't know what I'm. I don't know what I'm doing that makes sense. None of these photos are anything. [02:08:14] Speaker C: But that's okay. [02:08:16] Speaker B: Most street photography isn't anything. It's all about your perception and the perspective that you bring or that you capture when you take an image. If this is what you saw, you saw the opening. You saw the darker reflection in the lighter part of the water in front of him. You did know what you were doing. You built a composition. [02:08:38] Speaker A: Yeah, but I don't know. I don't know. Everyone always seems like there's more to it than that. And I don't know. [02:08:44] Speaker C: I feel like you will probably subconsciously create a little series out of this. Probably the next time that you go out and you shoot, you're going to look for a person in like that shot with the person with the bike. Like, if you are noticing these things, then you're probably going to notice them the. Like, more and more the, like, the more you go out and shoot this. So it will probably evolve into a series without you thinking about it. [02:09:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [02:09:12] Speaker C: Does that make any sense? [02:09:14] Speaker B: Does. [02:09:14] Speaker C: So there's probably. There's probably. Because these things are things that piqued your interest walking around. If you saw them in different contexts, I would imagine that you'd probably have the same reaction to it and therefore you would be photographing similar scenes that would then form a bigger story. [02:09:34] Speaker A: I agree in terms of. It's kind of like I don't know what the story is, but. [02:09:39] Speaker C: But you don't have to know straight away. [02:09:42] Speaker A: Yeah. If that's what interests me, eventually that pattern will emerge. Is that what you mean? Yeah, like. [02:09:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [02:09:46] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. [02:09:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:09:49] Speaker C: I think it's the beginnings of something interesting. [02:09:54] Speaker B: Yeah, I think so, too. [02:09:57] Speaker A: Thanks. Appreciate was fun. It was fun getting out, shooting with the Q3. David Skinner says, did you have any more reach? Yeah, you could crop in on the Q3, but I'm not. I'm a big one for kind of mostly just shooting what. What it does. [02:10:14] Speaker B: Like. [02:10:14] Speaker A: Yeah. What it does for me, that's what I've got And that's what I shoot with at the time. And then. Yeah, otherwise I just take a different setup if I wanted to be able to zoom in a little bit. But yeah, anyway, that was, that was my little adventure. Yeah, I think, I think not trying to do street photography in Melbourne is, is easier than trying to do like street photography with people in. Just doesn't seem to work for me. [02:10:46] Speaker B: Yep. [02:10:47] Speaker A: Yeah. Anyway, cool. [02:10:50] Speaker B: Nice work. Good job, everyone. Yeah, some great images that have come through once again. So just for future weeks, we are considering some themes in the coming weeks and we'll be sure to let you know what they may be. But if you want to send in an image, you just need to email it to justinuckystraps.com Please include a little couple of sentences describing the experience and where you were and what you were shooting and also some camera settings. We're happy for everyone to send in one image even though we don't follow that rule ourselves. And if you've got a behind the scenes shot, then throw that in. And of course the other exception is that if you've got like a photo essay or a small photo series where the images all work towards a greater story, then obviously you can send those through. But yeah, thanks everyone for sending in your images. Amazing. Love it. It's the highlight of my week. [02:11:44] Speaker A: It is fun. It's great and inspired indeed. And thanks, Lucinda, for giving us a couple of hours after a massive day. You must be just ready to fall asleep. [02:11:56] Speaker C: I'm ready to crash. I am ready to crash. But thank you for having me. It's good to jump on again. [02:12:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:12:02] Speaker A: It's great to see you and all that work is. Yeah, it's so cool. You must do. Yeah. You must just be like, what have I done since I was on last? There'd be a million. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [02:12:14] Speaker B: No, well done. [02:12:15] Speaker A: Awesome.
