Here are the links to Jeff’s work and social media accounts: Web: http://www.jeffwidener.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeff.widener/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JeffSWidener/ Some quotes from the interview: “You don’t just take a picture - you have to feel it.” “I need more chaos in my images…” “I’ll be 62 in August and I’m still trying to find solutions to problems that have been bugging me about my work for years.” Marco’s inspirational photo book of the month is called: “Modern Color” - by Fred Herzog. Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2vTUBDV Published by Hatje Cantz (approx 320 pages): http://www.hatjecantz.de/fred-herzog-6837-1.html Fred Herzog is mainly known for his photography in Vancouver where he focused primarily on capturing working-class life. He shot mainly on Kodachrome which marginalized him since most artists shot in B&W in the 1950’s and 1960’s. But he has and his work has been recognized in recent years and I certainly want to introduce you to his work and his book Modern Color. Herzog once said: “I wanted to show the world the way it is” The book mainly consists of beautiful color photographs of the 1950’s to 1970’s and the color is simply stunning If you had never shot Kodachrome and want to get an idea why so many dearly miss it, you will instantly find out after opening this book. This book should be on the very top of the list because it is a great example for those of you who may think that there is nothing interesting to photograph in your town anymore. Looking at old images is always interesting, Cars, clothes, houses, no smartphones, but what do you think Fred saw when he stepped out of his door in 1958? It all looked to him like when you step out of your door today. Study this book and see what caught his attention and convert it into today’s life. You may be amazed at the opportunities that lay before you. The book covers a lot of different scenes, some that include humans, but if you are not comfortable with photographing humans without asking beforehand, there are plenty of images of cars, houses, posters, and signs that are just stunning.

The More Gear Show topic this month is: Shooting video from a photographer's point of view - with guest host Joseph Linaschke, better known as PhotoJoseph on the internet.
This episode is sponsored by: Skylum and Luminar 2018 - The most innovative photo editor for Mac and PC. Use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” for extra savings at checkout. This More Gear Topic will be about shooting video from a photographer's point of view. Many of us photographers are scared of shooting video because we have grown up to capture the decisive moment in 1/1000s and edit that moment to perfection in the darkroom or nowadays in Lightroom or other photo editing software. But we also pay good money for all of the latest and greatest video features in our photo cameras, so we might as well start to use them. And in order to give you very experienced and qualified tips, Marco invited his friend PhotoJoseph who is not only a great guy, a wonderful photographer, an official Panasonic Luminary ambassador, but he is also a pro in regards of recording and editing professional videos. Gear and techniques discussed in this episode:

Check out the Skylum LUMINAR 2018 software: Link: http://bit.ly/2CzlC2g (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings) Mirrorless question of the month: I'm currently using a Sony A6300 with a Tamron 18-200 lens, but I need to get a greater amount of zoom for animals & birds. There are almost no E-mount lens options, or they cost over $2,500.00. I went to my photo shop for advice or options, and they suggested going to a full frame Sony and cropping to get closer, not an option I'm interested in. I suggested maybe a Sigma 100-400mm with Canon to E-mount adapter, but the shop said focusing would be slow. I then mentioned an Olympus E-M10 Mark II (new M1 too pricey) with the Olympus 75 - 300 lens, giving me 600mm effective zoom without bulk. But the shop disagreed saying the photo quality/sharpness wouldn't be that good.; particularly zoomed in or cropped. Looking for other input or ideas, whether with Sony or something else. Or am I just out of luck? Really love the podcasts, keep up the great work! Also, I'm very happy using Luminar for my photo processing. Thanks for everything. Question by: Dale from Pennsylvania, USA

Hello Marco, I have been listening to you and Scott for some time and love the inspiration and knowledge that you share with so much enthusiasm on PPN. You are also one of the reasons that I want to pursue my photography more seriously and maybe start to make a living as a photographer. I enjoy to do portrait photography and could also see myself photographing weddings. You have mentioned that you are also a consultant for photography, so could you please give me some initial thoughts on how I should proceed? Thank you!
