#309: What will the new X-Pro4/5 look like? Is wedding photography in decline?
The FujiCast: Photography PodcastShow Notes
Kev returns from a week away looking at the world through the bottom of a pint glass, but all is well, and we're ready for the final push through to the time of year it's too early to mention yet! Your questions and emails into the show answered. Today, should you recycle your memory cards more often to be absolutely safe they won't corrupt? Do we have a strategy for our exits from shooting weddings or even being photographers? Is the wedding industry for photographers at any rate, the slowest it has been since the pandemic took it away for a while? Do you calibrate your monitor? And the big elephant in Kev's duck stream (listen the show that will makes sense), what will the new X-Pro line camera look like?

In January 2019, a year before the world went slightly mad for a while, Neale and Kev started a podcast with no idea how long it would run. I mean, who would listen to this, and why would they listen? Now 2,712 days after episode 1 aired, the show has an announcement, and we wanted you to hear it from the horse's mouth, as it were. It's a timely announcement, too, as Kev takes some extended leave in his beloved Spain. On top of that, we'll be answering questions about the most useless photographic gizmos we've bought, the cameras we regretted or admired, flash (a-aahhhh), the 50mm f2 versus the 56mm f1.2, does Kev not like zooms (?), assigning recipes to dials, and Lightroom meets video editing.

Kev's edging ever closer to his Spanish retreat for the Summer, though nobody has warned the locals he has Mediterranean wind! The boys learn about Haoge, a 'new-to-them' place to buy third-party accessories for Fujifilm cameras, they celebrate the House of Photography, and talk about the importance of personal photo projects. Also, how to choose gear for the open road, key-wording images, Instagram Bot-Gate, and getting back into photography after time out to concentrate on family and mental health.

The boys are in celebratory mode, even if only for a couple of minutes over a certain football trophy, but fear not, they're hiding behind the couch with one eye scanning the horizon for what's to come! On the show, the dos and don'ts of client slideshows online, clients making their own albums, the accuracy of focus peaking, IBIS and tripods, Robocop-type stabilisers, shutter speeds and flash, and photographing the cops!

Kev and Neale suddenly discover that their little ones have grown into adults! This week on the show, does using AI to cull pictures work? Can it possibly be as good as living, breathing beings making choices? Also, how many images do/should clients expect to receive from a shoot, charging for event photography when starting out, insurance and 'part-time' websites. Neale finds out we still have merch; have you bought a show mug yet? What would be a good compact-sized camera to beat those darned festival rules that say 'NO CAMERAS!' The link between leaf shutters and flash, and how good is that X100 internal flash? How about adding the different wide and tele conversion lenses to your X100 system? Just how good are they? And then, steady yourself, we find ourselves trying to help someone face the dilemma of moving on from Fujifilm! Email the show with your questions: [email protected] For links go to the showpage.

Kev's worrying if there's going to be enough tractor fuel to get him to Spain this Summer, 'cos at this rate he's definitely not going to be flying! Today, we talk about removing bits of the wild to make a better shot, Godox triggers and Bluetooth remotes which starts a micro thread of thoughts about buying proprietary camera accessories only, masking and swapping to DxO, setting up your Fujifilm camera, and camera straps - what do the boys use?
