I hope you enjoy the show.

As we stand at May's doorstep, thoughts of outdoor adventure enter our minds. Yes, we want to take pictures. But we also looking forward to enjoying being in nature. And we can do so comfortably with just a few outdoor accessories. And that's what I'm going to share with you today. I hope you enjoy the show.

Daylight is great. The bulk of my photography happens when the sun is shining. That's also true for everyone else, however. So when I want to create something that's unique, and eye-catching, I wait for the sun to dip below the horizon. That's when the drama begins. I share some of my favorite tips for night and twilight photography on this week's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

I found myself sitting in the atrium of a Hyatt Regency looking up. I started to wonder how things would look if I were up there, looking down. What I discovered is a beautiful subject for abstract photography. I tell the story of how this all worked out on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

Dateline: Sunday, 2pm, outdoor ceremony on a cloudless day. To say that it was bright outside would be an understatement. The sun was beaming in at an angle. Those sitting in the audience could dawn hats and sunglasses. Those at the alter could not. This is what separates iPhone snap shooters from event photographers. And in this week's TDS Photography podcast, I'll explain how I pulled it off. I hope you enjoy the show.

We have a new online workshop coming in May, updates for upcoming events, iOS 18.4 hits the streets, and more thoughts about the Fujifilm GFX 100RF.

Fujifilm is the genius behind some of the most interesting cameras of our time. And the just-announced GFX 100RF certainly belongs in that category. It's beautiful, innovative, and relatively compact. I've been reading and thinking about this camera since its debut. And as much as I admire it, it's not for me. I'll explain why in today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

As iPads and the software for them continue to evolve, we're in an enviable spot that allows us to travel lighter than ever, yet still fully enjoy our photography.

I hope you enjoy the show.

The last time I bought a MacBook Air was over a decade ago. It was the super nimble 11" model that I could slide in my camera bag to manage web pages and answer email while on the go. The screen wasn't anything to write home about, but it was so compact. Fast forward to 2025 and a substantial update to a 13" M4 Air. Why am I doing this? Find out on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.
