Show Notes

Join Marcus, James and Ruth for our July podcast. Among other things, we discuss the story of the photographer disqualified from a competition for submitting a real image, we look back at the famous Earthrise shot after the death of the photographer and we try and figure out why Kodak is the #1 camera brand in Japan. The Big Question this month asks if digital medium format is worth it? James bangs on about why he dislikes watermarking, Marcus carries on his rant about the problems with air travel and we check out some new gear hitting the market.
