Reviews

3.6 out of 5 stars from 14 ratings
  • Terrible audio quality

    This podcast has great potential but is let down by two key areas. The first is the appalling audio quality, with inconsistent levels which make it impossible to listen to without having to ride the volume control. The audio of the guests is also often very poor. If a guest can’t provide good audio then they shouldn’t be allowed on the show. The other issue is the fact that “listeners’” photos are reviewed. It’s a podcast!!! Stop talking about visuals.

  • Good stuff but audio levels all over the place

    I like this podcast. Has interesting topics but the audio levels of the hosts are either too loud or too soft. It’s frustrating and often listen to something else because of it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A conversation with Peter Rowland (EP223)
Q: What are the top things people should do and avoid when photographing wildlife?
He recommends researching the subject and location, preparing for safety and telling someone where you are going. Photographers should avoid disturbing habitats, restore logs they move and use bird-call playback sparingly and quietly.
A conversation with Peter Rowland (EP223)
Q: Can everyday wildlife photographers contribute to tracking endangered Australian birds, and where should they go to do that?
Rowland says photos and location records can help researchers understand species distributions and habitat needs. He recommends iNaturalist, where users upload observations that others can identify and researchers can access.
Nikon Forced Canon's Hand and Adobe Buys Topaz - The Random Photography Show
Q: Any tips for folks trying to be a photographer living in one of the most uninspiring places on the planet?
Greg suggests training the eye to notice details through contrast, light and shadow, colors, geometry and leading lines. Justin recommends daily photo challenges and trying macro photography to explore overlooked subjects.
A conversation with Murray Livingston (EP219)
Q: What do you see as the future of photography education—online vs. live experiences?
Live, interactive formats still matter because they build confidence, provide real-time feedback, and foster community, even as online content grows. The best approach blends both, leveraging the strengths of each.
A conversation with Murray Livingston (EP219)
Q: Do you have any go-to strategies for breaking out of creative habits or comfort zones when teaching or practicing photography?
Yes. Use structured exercises like limited-lens walks (try a single lens), discard habitual setups, and implement contemplative practices like Mixang and photo sprints to force fresh perspectives; combine this with occasional location shifts to re-ignite inspiration.
