Show Notes
This month Marcus and Nick have their say about all things photography. We discuss some stories making the news, including the Super Bowl commercial that was accused of being AI when it wasn't and the damage caused by selfie takers in museums. We ask if the photography workshop industry needs to be regulated, we debate if there's any point to Long Exposure Noise Reduction, and we decide if the world really needs a fancy camera cap, a lightweight 500mm lens, waterproof equipment wraps and more! And as always, we preview what's coming up on the next episode of Photography Online.

More from The Photography Online Podcast
Coming up in our September podcast: we learn how night skies may become a thing of the past and why a quarter of us photographers are happy to leave our cameras unattended in public places. The guys go head to head in the POP Quiz and we look at some new gear in the form of a cap, a lens mount, a bracket and a trigger. What more could you possibly ask for?
Coming up on this month's podcast: we discuss the bridge which can no longer be photographed, the new guidelines for sports photographers, and we debate whether using a coloured filter can be deemed as racist! We also look at the gadget that's supposed to keep you focused at your computer the coaching app that thinks music photographers have time to stop and ask it questions, and finally reveal the Marcus and James origin story!
Coming up in our July podcast: Icelandair identifies the world’s worst photographer - and it’s not one of us. We discuss why you wouldn’t want to date James if romance is what you’re after, and why your memory card is quite possibly fake. Plus we look at Apple's latest tool, for photographers who forgot to compose their shot, the cardboard filters for those on a budget and the fisheye lens inspired by the sound of crashing waves.

Coming up in our June podcast: we discuss the artist who’s caused outrage by colourising Ansel Adams' famous Moonrise image, why Sabrina Carpenter turned up to the Met Gala wearing film strips, and why India's tiger reserves have banned smartphones. We look at the camera exhibit where visitors are encouraged to smash old cameras, Canon's surprisingly useful new lens cap, and Kodak bringing large-format film back from the dead.
Coming up in our May podcast: we discuss why Iceland Air are on the hunt for a terrible photographer, why a three-handed Kodak shooter was spotted on a giant billboard, and the guy who could have used an extra hand juggling fourteen different cameras at the Artemis Launch last month. We look at the watch that is also a light meter, the wallet that is also a memory card holder and the ultimate lens hood which is dead handy if you fly fighter jets.
