April 2024 - Photography Online Podcast

A big thanks to ThinkTank for sponsoring this month's show. In this episode James and Marcus are in the studio discussing the latest photography stories in the news, including why some church vicars are lashing out at wedding photographers. We're asking if there is any point to camera straps, debating if modern cameras make photography too easy (including getting your views on the subject), and deciding if the world really needs a super long tripod plate, a new f/1.2 lens, a chest strap for your camera and more! PLUS we are giving away a ThinkTank camera bag!   LINKS   🟡 ENTER THE COMPETITION NOW CLOSED FOR ENTRIES   In The News   🟡 Wedding Photographers vs Vicars https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68468019   🟡 Camera Sensor Destroyed by Lasers at Party https://petapixel.com/2024/03/21/mans-iphone-camera-left-destroyed-by-party-lasers/   🟡 YouTube and AI Skip Feature https://pinsystem.co.uk/youtube-is-testing-out-a-new-ai-skip-feature-for-premium-users   Does The World Really Need This:   🟡 The Cotton Carrier https://cottoncarrier.fr/en-en/pages/camera-harness   🟡 The Leica SL3 https://leica-camera.com/en-GB/photography/cameras/sl/sl3-black   🟡 The Think Tank Pixel Pocket Rocket https://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/pixel-pocket-rocket-v2   🟡 The Sigma 50mm f/1.2 https://www.sigma-global.com/en/lenses/a024_50_12/   🟡 The Long Tripod Plate https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/3leggedthing/ultra-plates-for-tripods-by-3-legged-thing
