#320: Lost SD cards at a wedding! And dynamic range: WTF?
The FujiCast Photography Show
Kev reveals how life could have been so different. Apparently, the priesthood was calling, until he found fags, swearing, and you know what. On the show today, lens choices for a man with serious GAS, top tips for photographers hiring or about to hire a second shooter, and a one-off, clear-as-a-bell summary of dynamic range at last. Neale shares thoughts about using Substack and Kev gives advice to an ME/CFS sufferer who is looking to find the perfect remote wireless triggering system.

#319: It's raining cameras and all hail the leaf shutter
The FujiCast Photography Show
Kev chooses to shovel s*&t rather than shoot a wedding... perhaps he has a cunning plan to start a fertiliser company? Meanwhile, Neale is considering continuing his drumming career and covering himself in tattoos, as Kev’s Book of the Week is an inspiring photography volume that goes behind the scenes with drummers. Also on the show, with so many Fujifilm cameras to choose from, which one is right for you, or are they all pretty much the same, really? In particular, we look for the perfect Fujifilm in the range to lug up a mountain, keeping the weight to a minimum. Why is a leaf shutter...

The FujiCast Photography Show
Neale has connecting flight blues, and Kev’s trying to remember his anniversary date, but shhh, don’t tell Gemma that! Meanwhile, on the show today, will the concave sensor catch on, and what does that actually mean? We talk about Fujifilm’s incredible promotional videos and who we’d like to see promote the brand in the future, the best Fujifilm street camera, street technique, the next FujiCast meet-up, finding your photographic voice and post-processing style.

#317: DIY film simulations how to, and Street Do's and Don'ts
The FujiCast Photography Show
Neale returns from skiing with legs intact, and now he’s off to Bangladesh for his next expedition. Meanwhile, Kev is building his moat ever deeper around Castle Malmesbury, and plugins that will change your creative life have become his adventure: clever stuff, as he explains on the show. Also on the show, questions about presets and recipes for Fujifilm camera systems, a nod to Bob (ChatGPT) and how it can help you build your own recipes and film simulations. We try to work out why Aftershoot culling doesn’t always perform as well as we might wish/expect for some genres and shoots, is...

#316: Third-party lens love and best newborn photo kit
The FujiCast Photography Show
Kev and Neale are lamenting the weather: all hail weather-resistant lenses! Kev’s also watching Mr Mercedes from behind the sofa - don’t tell him the ending! On the show today, is Fujifilm mirrorless the perfect kit for newborn photography, when is the next FujiCast away day, and will Andreas like Kev’s Valentine card enough that he invites The Mullins back into the inner fold? Kev shares why he released presets and Lightroom plugins and how they have changed his business, and why he still can’t bear Apple kit! We also talk about third-party lenses and Neale sends Kev to sleep with...

#315: The X-Pro4 is nigh, or is it?! And social media bans
The FujiCast Photography Show
Kev is becoming a lean, mean loving machine! Never mind giving camera advice; we’re thinking of launching a new weight-loss cast! You’ll understand why when you hear the start of the show. On the show, for the love of megapixels, when is the X-Pro4 going to become a thing? We wonder about other roadmap arrivals and talk about research and development, plus inspiration and age verification. We discuss how that will work and the social media channels where verification could have made the platforms far more child-friendly, pivoting into a new genre with excellent advice for tickling the...

#314: Kev’s desert island camera and zoom or prime?
The FujiCast Photography Show
Neale and Kev reminisce about driving tests; turns out Kev failed his a gazillion times! Also, firmware updates, what would the boys like to see improved in the near future on Fujifilm cameras, Kev sorts Neale’s focus failures on the X100V, loaning out your cameras to family, and we ask whether the great Fujifilm zoom lenses can stand up to the quality offered by primes? We choose between particular cameras in the range, and we return to an ole’ chestnut conversation; what NOT to do on Instagram, so a slight twist on the theme. Email the show with your questions: For links go...

#313: Don’t sweat THE LIKES! and Kev’s most powerful hashtag
The FujiCast Photography Show
Neale and Kev consider naturist wedding photography in their ageing rock’n’roll years. Unofficially, this becomes a new year’s ’spring clean’ week for those wishing to drive business through websites and social media, driven by Alex Mealin, who is relaunching his photography business after a six-year hiatus. Talking of new, Neale launches a new podcast in 2026 called Reflections, which is about this creative life we lead. At the end of today's show, he gives you a preview featuring thoughts on our social media guru, KEV! Also today, Kev’s new business plans for the year, why...

#312: A tribute to Martin Parr and seeing in black and white
The FujiCast Photography Show
A few audio gremlins in the works, but Kev’s on the case and normal service will be resumed in 2026, whatever normal is. It’s the last show of the year, with our regular break on the way for the holidays. Today, a special edition as we revisit an interview Kevin recorded with Martin Parr who sadly passed last weekend. Also on the show: shooting in black-and-white mode, though editing in colour; lossless compression; rear-screen focus distance accuracy; custom mode shooting; plus we have a book of the week called Layers of India by Mark Seymour.

#311: Lighting up nature and working for free?!
The FujiCast Photography Show
Stand well back from the podcast player today, because Kev’s brought man flu to the airwaves! What he needs is a week-long retreat in Scotland, which Neale shares details about during the show. Today, photographic mishaps, when things don’t quite work out as you plan, post professional gig rituals, wedding fair conversions, and we ask the question, are engagement shoots a thing anymore? Also, Ed Sheeran’s One Shot show, using flash for nature photography, faster Fujifilm lenses for landscape photography, expanding your photo business into social photography, being genre-specific on a...
info_outlineWhen we recorded this episode, the tariff situation was locked in, firm as a rock, ‘You know who' said absolutely no U-turns. So naturally, by the time you hear it, the rock's done a cartwheel and landed in a hedge.
All the same, just in time for Easter, questions in to the show include how to egg collect and take pictures at the same time, although all is not as it seems!
Also on the show, can Pictime be a replacement for your website, are mentors important to your development as a photographer, and should you pay for their services? Touch screen controls, do they drive you bonkers too? We talk about eye-tracking, a new pancake lens for the system and how to respond to unhappy clients.
