013 - What the Focus Podcast - It's Tangent time with Sophie Siegel
Wednesday Jul 17, 2019
Wednesday Jul 17, 2019
We finally welcome Sophie Siegel onto the Podcast and she does not disappoint!!
What we talked about: Working with people with disabilities to tell their stories and advocate for a better quality of life. Curating photographic exhibitions. Studying. Biff Tannen.
What we didn't talk about: Shooting weddings with Ben. Sophies invention of a wine dispenser for the shower.
She's a bit of a weirdo, but we like the cut of her jib, and she's helping to make a difference to people's lives (in a good way) through her photographic and documentary works.
Check out her website @ https://sophiesiegel.format.com. Do it NOW

The band is back together again this week and we're feeling the love again!
We covered a lot this week and had a ball doing it.
We have a bit of a chat about the wonder of winter and why it's both of our favourite season to snap off some pics.
And we didn't plan it but Adam walks through how to clean your sensor using brute force... probably best to listen to the whole thing before starting to follow our advice...
BIG CONGRATULATIONS to @thebackyard.studio - this weeks featured FOREGROUND photo AND our 1st MONTHLY winner!! Nice one Christine!!
Be sure to check out her feed - really great stuff!!

011 - What the Focus Podcast - Sleepy Telecom Radio
Monday Jul 01, 2019
Monday Jul 01, 2019
This week:
Absence make the lads sleepy. Despite being in different states we still managed to talk to each other, though we were both very tired. This is amplified by the delay in the telecom line so we sound extra munted this week.
Unfortunately the photography world was struck a blow last week with the sudden and unfortunate passing of Dale Sharpe whilst chasing storms across the States. A crowd-funding campaign has been setup on behalf of Karlie and family to help bring Dale home et al @ Go fund me: https://au.gofundme.com/dale-sharpe-legacy-fund.
We also have a lazy chat about the new 'Blad announcement, some sources of inspiration, some other photography bits and pieces, and how there should be a licence to breed (we're not entirely serious, so save your high horse)

010 - What the Focus Podcast - What makes us Click
Sunday Jun 23, 2019
Sunday Jun 23, 2019
This week:
We have a bit of a chat about lighting with no real specifics or techniques or anything, just general waffle.
The Meat and Veg has us chat about what makes us click. Why we get out and shoot and why we press that shutter when we do.
Adam has a medium-shallow to deep-dive into Long exposure photography, the art of doing things the slow way.
+ more tangents and BS

007 - What the Focus Photography Podcast - Ben's Post-Processing Nuggets of Wisdom
Thursday May 30, 2019
Thursday May 30, 2019
This week we announce our What The Focus Photo Challenge in more detail - Fight to the death, winner takes all!!
Just kidding.
Each month we will have a photo challenge with a different basic guideline. We will pick our favourite submitted image for each week and feature it on our IG account. There will be a monthly winner, and once we've sorted out sponsorship, prizes will be awarded. WOW!
For the month of June - the challenge is FOREGROUND. So bring on the submissions, may the best FOREGROUND element win!!!
Ben also runs through his Post-Processing workflow. It's not a One-Workflow-To-Rule-Them-All type thing but there's quite a bit to cover so hopefully you find a nugget of wisdom or two in there somewhere.
