Discovering the HOW, WHAT and WHY for creating STUNNING HDR Images | Greg Benz

This is the recording of a live broadcast where I chat with photographer Greg Benz, who's very much the go-to person when it comes to HDR. We talk through the how, the what and the why of creating high dynamic range images, and just as importantly, how to display them so they're seen the way they're meant to be. If HDR is something you've heard about but never quite got your head around, this conversation covers what it is, why it's worth considering and how to go about making stunning HDR images of your own.

Mobile versus Mirrorless: Decisions to be made in 2025

This is the recording of a live broadcast where I chat with my friend, photographer Brian Matiash of the Adobe Lightroom team, about using mobile devices for photography. The question was whether I should carry on doing so in 2025, and from there we get into lenses and filters for mobile, what I'll be using my Sony mirrorless for, what I make of the OM-1 Mark II and a whole lot more. It's a relaxed conversation about the decisions to be made between phone and camera, and the reasons behind each choice.
