| Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #73: The Best Leica RF Camera Isn’t a Leica | 19 Sep 2024 | 01:32:32 | |
The Shutter Brothers are in the studio - and so is Wayne's new camera! And what a camera it is! The Canon VI-L is as impressive a 35mm meter-less mechanical shutter rangefinder camera we've ever seen. Could it be better than a Leica? Listen and find out. Meanwhile, Kevin is back from his amazing Alaskan cruise with six and a half rolls of exposed film. Listen for a report on how his two SLR cameras and three lenses performed on the 2000 mile journey. Next, the Shutter Bros read some listener questions about focus loupes and stand development, the latter of which serves as a chance to discuss Wayne's updated Caffenol CL formula. Both Wayne and Kevin have used it with 4x5 sheet film with excellent results, but would it work with roll film? Wayne's Leica-busting Canon VI-L isn't the only camera Wayne had been testing out lately. The Goerz Minicord is one of the most unique cameras we've ever seen. It's a subminiature twin lens reflex camera that uses double perforated 16mm film. Was it intended to be used as a spy camera? We've got opinions, as usual. Fiinally, Wayne and Kevin preview our 3rd Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers, which is going to happen on Saturday, October 26, at Fort Southwest Point near Kingston, Tennessee. The city of Kingston will be celebrating its 225th birthday with period military reenactments, and the photography opportunities will be numberous and rich. No matter what kind of camera you bring, you will have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make interesting photographs, as well as connect with other photographers. We hope to see you there. As always, our show notes can be found at www.unclejonesyscameras.logspot.com. Happy Photography! | |||
| Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #72: Exposure Compensation Sensation! | 18 Aug 2024 | 01:22:27 | |
If you have a camera with an automatic exposure mode (such as aperture or shutter priority), you may have wondered about that dial on your camera with +1 +2 and -1 -2? That dial is the way you access your camera's exposure compensation, and knowing how to use it will make you a better photographer. Shutter Brothers Wayne and Kevin do a deep dive into how exposure comensation works and when you should use it. Meanwhile, Kevin shares his thoughts about his opportunity to use his 'dream' camera. Was it a positive experience? Will Kevin be shelling out some big bucks? Or, is there a greater lesson to be learned here? Listen to find out. Next, Wayne and Kevin get philisophical again and share some of the deep 'dark' thoughts they have been having lately with "Thoughts from the Dark(room)." If you've been having some deep thoughts about your photography lately, you can share them with us by email (unclejonesyscameras@gmail.com), Instagram (@UJCPodcast) or Facebook (also @UJCPodcast). We'e love to hear from you! Happy Photography! | |||

Kevin is here, Wayne is back from Norway, and the Shutter Brothers are together again and ready to take a deep dive into everything about depth of field - what is it, how can it be controlled, and why it matters. Learning how to make depth of field work for you can take your photography to a higher level, and that's a good thing! Wayne also shares his recent experiences in Norway and the approach to photography he took while there.

Life happens, and when it does, podcasts go on hold. But the Shutter Brothers are back with an informal chat about life, travels, and, of course, cameras. And we love cameras! But sometimes we may have to consider getting rid of some of our cameras. Kevin and Wayne discuss the whys and hows of reducing the camera "inventory" and why it might even make us better photographers. And speaking of getting rid of stuff, we're in a generous mood.

Wayne, of course, does it right by finding the perfect flash for his Makina 67 medium format camera, an Olympus T32. Kevin, on the other hand, does it wrong by ignoring the presence of the M/A switch on his Yashicamat TLR, resulting in some blank film failures. Lastly, Wayne is thinking of opening an Etsy store for his prints, so he seeks answers from Kevin regarding his Etsy store. You can find our show notes at www.unclejonesyscameras.blogspot.com.

After a fun morning of photography, the Shutter Brothers are back to the podcast table - and Kevin has questions! Lately, he's been in the darkroom trying out fiber based paper for the first time, and he has much to learn about the differences between resin coated and fiber based paper when it comes to exposing, developing, fixing, washing, and drying processes. Fortunately, Wayne has been printing on FB paper for decades, so get ready to learn, everybody! The look and feel of FB paper makes mastering the learning curve worth it. Kevin also reviews a fine photo book, New York Changing: Revisiting Berenice Abbott's New York by Douglas Levere. Berenice Abbott had a long and very successful photography career and is well known for her documentary photography of 1930's New York City. Levere attempts to rephotograph Abbott's subjects to demonstrate the changes time has brought about, and the book contains many side by side comparisons of both Abbott's and Levere's photography. Anyone who has interest in urban large format photgraphy will enjoy it very much! Next, Wayne leads a discussion about Edward Weston's quote, "To photograph a rock, have it look like a rock, but be more than a rock." Exactly how does a developing phoographer begin to make images that express feelings or tell stories? Wayne has some practical and useful tips. Don't forget about our 3rd Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers, which will happen on Saturday, October 26, at Fort Southwest Point in Kingston, Tennessee. If you've ever thought about photographing a military reenactment, this is your chance.

Our next segment is a deep dive into focus and how to take charge of it and make it work the way you want with everything that will appear in your photograph.

| UJC Podcast #24: They're Gonna Put Me in the Movies! | 18 Jun 2020 | 01:18:17 | |
The Shutter Brothers are back with a brand new show, and it's getting cinematic! Kelley is super excited about shooting regular 8mm movie film this summer, and he shares what he has learned so far and how to save money by shooting B&W 8mm film. Meanwhile, Kevin explains why he has decided to stop scanning his B&W negatives and instead scan only the darkroom prints he makes from those negatives while also sharing how he makes "virtual" contact sheets.

| Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #68: Two Cameras, Two Lenses, and Twin Lenses | 24 Mar 2024 | 00:56:56 | |
The two Shutter Brothers are talking twos! First, Kevin gets a breakdown from Wayne regarding the pros and cons of various camera pairs for his forthcoming Alaskan cruise in September. Why two? Because Kevin wants to shoot two films, color and b&w on this trip. But Kevin likes to travel light, so the gear has to be right (Hey, we Shutter Bros can rhyme too!) Next, dueces run wild with twin lens reflex cameras. Two viewing lenses, two taking lenses, etc. Kevin has been using his Rolleicord Va a lot lately, but there a problem: camera shake! Kevin gets fuzzy shots when handholding the camera (but not when it's on a tripod). Could the design and location of the Rolleicord's shutter release be the culprit? To investigate, Wayne gathers his quartet of TLRs for comparison (and he has some cool ones!) and makes a suggestion for a solution. Do you like slide shows? Want to double your fun? Wayne has something for you: a Stereo Vivid 3D slide projector with screen, extra bulbs, and a collection of 3D viewing glasses. It could be yours! Finally, we're already making plans for our 3rd Annual Photowalk with The Shutter Brothers on October 26, 2024. Mark you calendars! Happy Photography! | |||
| UJC Podcast #23: The Shadow Knows | 08 Apr 2020 | 01:08:07 | |
The socially distant (but still together) Shutter Brothers are back to talk about photography and how we are coping with staying socially distant and even self-isolating. Some of our wonderful listeners chime in on how they have been getting along as well. This time, both Shutter Bros. have a camera to talk about. Kevin shows off his Russian made Zorki 4 rangefinder, while Kelley sings the praises of (you guessed it) a Minolta XE-7. Finally, Kevin brings up a very mysterious subject: How to use Sunny f16 when it isn't sunny. Answer: "The Shadow Knows!" Thank you for listening!! | |||

Then, Kevin has a review of a great book, Walker Evans Polaroids. Lots of fun for everyone! | |||
