Let's Talk Photography

This month Bart chats with photographer and podcaster Clay Daly from the Through My Lens podcast. The conversation is wide-ranging, but loosely focused around the quetion of what is and is not photography. The same phrase came up again and again — "the Image has to Speak for Itself".

In this solo show Bart takes you on a journey from photography's pre-history right through to the digital age. Photography may have been announced to the world in 1839, but it took a lot of work by a lot of people to get to that point, and of course, a lot of work to get from there to our modern smartphone cameras!

In this month's solo show Bart ponders the question of our photographic point of view. He argues that whether we know it or not, we all have one. Should we take the time to reflect on ours? Does it it matter?Please consider supporting the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/ltpod

In this month's solo show Bart gives a detailed answer to a question friend of the show Antonio Rosario posed on episode 209 of the Shutter Time podcast — do you shoot photographic projects? The short answer is 'yes', but there's much more to it than that!

This month Bart chats with Jeff Carlson from the PhotoActive podcast about getting the most out of the cameras in our phones while on vacation.

In this solo show Bart explores the workings of the digital sensors that are at the heart of our modern cameras. How do they work? How do they differ from each other? What's the difference between CCD and CMOS? What difference does size make? What's full frame and how is it different from Micro Four Thirds? What's Backside Illumination? And much more.

In this month's solo show Bart ponders inspiration, and particularly how things we disapprove of and dislike can none-the-less inspire us. Bart also ponders the really big question — does photography make a difference? This show was inspired by some great discussions on two recent Shutter Time episodes (193 & 195) with Antonio Rosario, Sid & Mac.

In this solo show Bart asks you to imagine a line, and then takes you and your line on an imaginary journey from historghrhams, to brightness sliders, to black and white point sliders, to contrast sliders, and finally on to curves and levels adjustments. These controls are ubiquitous, so understanding them should prove extremely useful!

This month's show is a solo show where Bart shares his throughts on how he thinks about ethical and moral questions around photography. This episode was inspired by episode 184 of Shutter Time with Sid & Mac with special guest Antonio Rosario.

This month Bart continues his on-going series on photographic terms. This time it's all about focus. Not focus in the art of arting sense, but in the physical optical sense.

Bart tries something new this month and shares his thoughts, feelings, and opinions on three photographic topics raised on other podcasts. Recent episodes of Shutter Time with Sid & Mac have asked whether or not we are called to photograph, and whether or not we should actively work to develop a photographic style, while Antonio Rosario raised questions about the potential problems with AI on the Switch to Manual podcast.
