This is episode #10 of the Camera and Inspiration show at “PPN - Photo Podcast Network” for January 2018.

This show is sponsored by: PhotoShelter-Where photographers get work done!


  • Marco invites Kevin Mullins as a guest for this camera & inspiration episode. Kevin is an amazing documentary and award winning wedding photographer from England. Brides go absolutely crazy when they hear his name. He is a Fujifilm ambassador, but no matter what kind of camera you put in his hand, he will tell amazing stories with it.
 
  • Kevin picks this month inspirational photographer: James Revilious (1939 - 1999) worked as an art teacher at Hammersmith College in England. He was inspired by an exhibition from Henri Cartier Bresson’s work and started documenting life in the area of North Devon. This project turned into a quest.You can see some of his images here: http://www.jamesravilious.com/gallery.asp
 
  • In the main part of this episode, Marco and Kevin discuss different aspects of the topic: “Why should one work in a documentary style instead of staged photography?” Kevin has implemented the documentary style into his wedding and social photography.
 
  • Marco’s inspirational photo book of the month is called: “The Documentary Impulse” - by Stuart Franklin.

Mirrorless question of the month:

I love shooting with my Olympus OMD EM5 MkII and the small lenses. However, recently I have been trying to put together a kit for birds and wildlife. That has led me to a very surprising discovery. Why does an EM1 Mk II & a 300mm f4 PRO cost $1200 more than a D500 & 200-500? Or, $1650 more than a Canon 7D MkII & 300mm f4? Shouldn't MFT systems cost less since they are a much smaller sensor requiring smaller image circle from the glass. On top of the cost, even the size doesn't make sense. For example, why does the Olympus 300mm f4 PRO measure and weigh as much or more than the Canon 300mm f4L IS that is built to cover full frame sensor size? I was also recently shocked by the Panasonic 200mm f2.8 that sells with a teleconverter for $3k! Meanwhile, Canon's excellent and proven 200mm f2.8L sells for $750. Sadly, this is pushing me away from mirrorless and back to DSLR due to the ridiculous pricing of mirrorless systems......

This question was sent to us from: Shaun from New Jersey..


  • We have a PPN Photo Podcast Network group at Flickr (click link) that is open to our listeners and photos taken with all mirrorless camera brands. If you want to join just let us know through the "request invitation" button on the group and drop us a quick line there. We'll add you to the group then. And please ask for the invite via the web browser and not via the Flickr App. The invite process via the app has not been working reliably.
You can also submit an image using the Instagram hashtag #WeShootMirrorless

  • We have picked our monthly featured photographer and image from the submitted photos. Our monthly We Shoot Mirrorless feature photo and photographer of the month is: Mike Hedge - 2 Wheels in the French Quarter (click here).

Here are the questions that Marco answers on this episode:

1. Hi Marco, I've heard you make the argument in favor of tilt LCD screens on cameras and that they can be very useful and sometimes can get you shots that would be hard to get without it. I’m in the process of buying a new camera and want to buy one with a tilt LCD. But there are different kind of flip and rotating screens and I’m wondering where the advantages of the different kinds are? I’m doing mainly interior and outdoor photography.
Thanks!
Question from: Melissa from Boston, Massachusetts


2. Hi Scott & Marco, why is it that documentary photography and street photography work better with wider angle lenses than tele lenses? It feels much easier to get a clean, nondistracting image when I zoom in closer to the subject. Thank you!
Question from: Piotre from Krakow, Poland


3. Should I buy a kit lens bundle as they are often a good value or rather buy the body only and use the extra money for the better lens that I really want?
Question from: Frank from Brisbane, Australia


4. Hi Guys, one questions from Cologne in Germany: If you could look in your crystal ball, would you see 3rd party lens producers like Tamron, Sigma or Tokina to develop lenses for Fuji in the future? I only know about Zeiss and Samyang which are no real serious competitors for Fuji lenses. Thank you, and have a nice X-Mas.
Question from: Daniel from Cologne, Germany


5. I have a question about TETHERING. I’ve got a FujiFilm X-T2, great camera, and I’ve got a 27” retina iMac, so in that respect, tethering at home is no problem. But if I’m shooting portraits outside the home, or doing real estate photography, it’s not practical to bring a desktop computer. I don’t have a laptop, but I do have a WiFi only iPad Air (about 3 years old) which has a lightning connection (pretty sure it’s lightning). Is there a cable, and/or a workflow that will at least give me a preview of my images on the iPad Air, without interfacing with a desktop, laptop or cellular connection? I’m not concerned about making adjustments with Lightroom Mobile, or saving them to the iPad. It’s all about seeing the images larger, and giving the client a sneak peak. Thanks in advance for the advice and love the show!
Question from: Brent from Pittsburgh, PA (USA)

​
6. Listener reply to Warwick’s question from last week:
How confident should I feel about my computer being able to read my Nikon and Fuji raw files in say 20 years time?

Answer from listener Marc:
Marco, I have to tell you, that the TIFF format is an ISO standard, so you will get software to read the files even in 100 and more years! I work in the digital archive business for 13 years now! Best regards.
Marc from Hamburg, Germany
