The FujiCast: Photography Podcast

Some photographers it seems, think every scratch tells a story so today we ask, just how tough are our Fuji cameras? And does Kev need to invest in new dividers? Printing at home. It's not for the faint hearted, or is it? And the new software that makes your X body the best webcam ever! Send your questions as ever to click@fujicast.co.uk  

Today, Kev's 'Book you can buy when it's safe to go out and spend money again' feature and this week it's one of his all time favourites. The question of worms comes up and we think we have a very basic workaround, well, sort of. And the wedding cancellation 'game,' perhaps there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Get your questions on the show: click@fujicast.co.uk  

The last Tech Free Tuesday, for the moment. Could Kev complete a bush tucker trial, what's the biggest faux pas the boys have made professionally, which photographer would you choose to dine with? It's been a lot of fun answering your lighter questions each Tuesday and it's probably a feature we'll continue with on the show's YouTube channel so feel free to keep sending the ones with a photography...

Entering the last week of dailies, Kev and Neale contemplate their feelings nine weeks into lockdown as measures start to lift. The X100, F or V? Which is the one to buy? Cookie notifications also under the spotlight and Kev isn't too keen on pop-up-tastic sites it would seem. What makes a good photo? Well, where do we even start? And then Neale has news of his new photography podcast starting Mon...

You sent your questions in and today Andreas Georghiades, Fujifilm UK's Marketing Manager returns for another no holds barred 'Ask Andreas.' Even if you don't shoot Fuji, this is an episode that may help you understand how the company works with and for its photographers. Also, Mullins is asked why he swapped over to Fujifilm in the first place and Neale starts to reveal a little about a new podca...

Leonard 'Lennie' Neumann has been photographing life in The States, South Africa, England and France. A candid photographer, he works the streets with a short focal length lens and generous spirit. He is today's special guest on the daily show. Also today, when can we start to advertise our services again? And what happened at midnight last night in sleepy Malmesbury? All the links to today's spec...

Today, what's more important, photographic fame, or are solid business? Do photographers focus on the wrong thing? Tripods, search engines and buying too much gear. The money we've just burned! Just some of the subjects discussed on today's FujiCast Daily. www.fujicast.co.uk  

Water and cameras, not a well known bed partner - today we hear why. We also talk Google tricks and where to go if you want great photography without the Insta-hype. And then, just as you thought it was all over, Kev reveals a question to silence Neale, for once. All the links for this show and others: www.fujicast.co.uk  

An announcement today on when the daily shows will make way for every Monday again. Today we talk street photography and ask if there is a good lens for social distanced shooting, plus lights, keeping it simple and sound for that video work. As always, complete links to all we talk about on www.fujicast.co.uk  

Eclectic is a word we've use a bit of late, but today's Tech Free Tuesday is certainly that. Tuesday's have become the 'let yer hair down day' where we get personal and conversational about life outside photography as much as in. Thank you to those who pose the stranger and more amusing questions. Just some light relief between all the photography questions we get to. Tomorrow back to books and ph...

Martin Parr is our guest on The FujiCast today, internationally admired and acclaimed for his important contribution to documentary photography.

Neale admits to being a keen fan of today's Saturday interviewee, Elke Vogelsang, certainly one of Europe's most celebrated dog photographers. It's niche, but there is so much to learn from Elke, a humorist when it comes to photographing her subject. She shares some life lesson thoughts and observations about her journey. Also the boys start to discuss a particular street portrait project.   Keep...

It's Tech Free Tuesday - ask what you like of the boys photographically or otherwise!  Kevin has a thing or two to say about the training and workshop industry. Are there good events to attend? Are there too many? Are the facilitators experienced enough? Also, is that look of concentration grumpy, or a photographer's 'resting face.' Our favourites from last Monday's Daily Photo Challenge and a new...
