Another great podcast with Matt Payne, complemented with Talor and DT!
As for the reviewer that dismissed the show because of the “obviously AI” logo… I sat next to my wife as she worked on the logo for Matt, going through multiple revisions and rounds of feedback as she worked on it in Adobe Illustrator.
Would love to listen but the obvious AI generated logo is very disappointing
Great new podcast featuring 3 pros in landscape and wildlife photography. The show is a good mix of practical information, humor, and opinions. Can’t wait for more episodes!
Great podcast, looking forward to more. I think all drone pilots should assume that restrictions will continue to become stricter. I’ve been flying for over 10 years, FAA certified. I’ve witnessed so many instances of people doing stupid things with drones and it pisses me off, when I’m operating responsibly and these yahoos are giving responsible drone pilots a bad name.
The three co-hosts are just fantastic photographers and characters. They know their stuff. The banter is great. The opinions - well - opinionated. Highly recommended listening for all photogs
