Show Notes
Join Ruth, Harry & Marcus as we discuss UNESCO’s declaration that selfie tourism is destroying historical landmarks and discuss the alarming slump in international sales of new cameras over the last decade. We also ask if the DSLR is dead and get your thoughts on the matter. We debate if there is any point to Depth of Field apps and we decide if the world really needs an auto-levelling tripod and a lego camera which you build yourself and can actually use to take photos!

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.
