Shutter Time Podcast

Our spontaneous trip to see Rockies in the spring, full of adventures, technical difficulties, and death.  Enjoy the show.

Laurie from Twitter, asked a question about minimalistic editing.  So in this episode we try to explain what minimalistic editing means to us.  Essentially creating an image as perfect in the camera as possible, so you have to spend as little time in front of the computer as possible.  Thank you Laurie for this question.  Keep them coming!

As spring is starting in the northern hemisphere, and the cabin fever is at it's worst, we as photographers are iching to go places. So in this we are talking about traveling with your cameras, what can we take with us not to miss any oportunities.  Do we take everything, or do we only the gear that is portable and easy to carry.  Do we care if we miss something, can we live with that?  These are the questions that we struggle with in this episode. Here is Bryan Minear photo from Egypt that we were discussing: https://twitter.com/bryanminear/status/1126594950404112385/photo/1

As a beginner in photography, where should you start?  The technical understanding of shutter speed, aperture and ISO, or actually learning how to see and compose?  This is the question we try to answer in this episode.  Enjoy!

Our photographic history started with a traumatic event of Mac being beat by his father for exposing film in the camera, and Kasia of wanting to capture and hold to colour during long winter months.   It escalated from there.  Talk to you next week!

So what makes a good photograph?  We think that unless you have some formal education in art and photography, otherwise how can we distinguish a good photograph, apart from our feelings. So in reality our opinions on photography doesn't really matter.  

Talking Art.  What is art? Is photography art?  According to Wikipedia definition of art it is anything that humans create. I think artistic photography is in the eye of the beholder.  Your life experience has a huge impact on your perception of art.  This also includes your education, and learning about other photographers like Antonio M. Rosario from Street Shots Podcast is doing "deep dives" into the old masters of photography. Consideration of art is very subjective and it depends on us, what we feel and how we feel.  What do you guys think?  Looking forward to your comments! See you next week.  

Do we need words to describe our photography? Should our photographs stand on it's own and does it have to be explained? These are some of the questions we ask ourselves in this episode.

Is there a good side to Social Media? Kasia and Mac are discussing this in this episode. 

In this episode we discuss Dave Szweduik's latest blog post "MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY AS A REPLACEMENT FOR SHOOTING FILM" . This artictle stuck a cord with me and a thought came to my head, the acceptance of photography in any form and created with any photographic tool.  It's a discussion about accepting photography as photography should be.  What photography means to you as a photographer.   We would love to hear from you, and what you think of photographic maturity.  You can tweet us @shuttertimeshow and express your ideas.     Talk to you next week!

A little interview with Kasia Sokulska, my new co-host.  Her photographic view is a little different, and I think that makes her photography unique.

Are we authors or photographers?

Road Trip conversation with my wife, Kasia while going to the mountains.

How to shoot film in freezing weather and how to screw things up, then save everything at the end of the day.

A photographer's main instrument is his eyes. Strange as it may seem, many photographers choose to use the eyes of another photographer, past or present, instead of their own. Those photographers are blind."    - Manuel Alvarez Bravo b. February 4, 1902   A perfect picture with David Szweduik Embracing flaws in your cameras and lenses.

Replacing skies in landscape photography is a fairly big business these days.  Not only tutorials but people that will actually sell different sky images ready to replace your boring sky.   Is this ethical?
