  • I want to love it…

    I’ve followed Chris and Jordan for years and have appreciated their perspectives, but as hard as I try I just can’t stand Jaron and it ruins the listen for me. Every couple months I try to make it through an episode and give up usually before the halfway point. Most people seem to like it though, so that’s just me I guess. It ain’t even gotta be deep, I guess. I do wish the guys had taken Fro’s advice though, they keep building up platforms they don’t own for the good of other people, and eventu... more

  • Best BBQ Sauce, and best Photo podcast

    The Petapixel BBQ Sauce is the best BBQ sauce I’ve ever tried. Baby back ribs, steak, even chicken. For the vegetarians, the BBQ Sauce is amazing on tofu.

    Pork tenderloin, marinated with Petapixel BBQ Sauce for 24 hours, then grilled with a pinch of garlic. BBQ sauce, BBQ sauce, and also BBQ sauce.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sigma's Unique Lens, Meeting PixelMeter, and ANOTHER New Instax?
Q: How do I get started doing what you do?
Wilkes recommends developing curiosity and deep observation, spending time making multiple photographs of a scene, getting out to shoot consistently, and pursuing personally meaningful subjects.
Sigma's Unique Lens, Meeting PixelMeter, and ANOTHER New Instax?
Q: When you approach a story like that and you have to meet these people and you have to tell these stories and you don't know what they're going to be, what do you have to do yourself to facilitate that?
Wilkes says he tries to meet people with open, positive energy, explain his ideas clearly, and show examples of his work so they feel comfortable participating.
Building Our Very Own Frankencameras
Q: Why have camera makers not discussed bringing back film cameras, and could manufacturers release new analog cameras?
The panel says plentiful used cameras and uncertain returns have discouraged manufacturers, while current mirrorless mounts are generally digital-only. They see a possible market for boutique releases but say film availability, rather than camera bodies, is the larger problem.
Building Our Very Own Frankencameras
Q: Given that some lenses omit a manual focus ring, should camera manufacturers allow manual focus to be mapped to on-body controls, and is the missing ring a deal breaker?
The hosts generally value a dedicated focus ring for tactile control and quick autofocus overrides, though they see ringless lenses as potentially useful for unmanned applications such as webcams, broadcast equipment and drones.
Apple May Have Spoiled a Secret Nikon Camera
Q: What does the new Pixel G6 processor bring to on-device AI processing for photos and video?
It enables faster model loading and inference on-device, allowing features like Night Sight and Creator Suite to run without cloud processing, improving speed and reliability while giving users more real-time control over AI-assisted edits.
