Uncle Jonesy's Cameras

Wayne and Kevin  are back and ready to relive the highlights of our 5th Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers, and what a photowalk it was! We had the largest attendence ever, and everyone seemed to have had a great time making pictures and getting to know eadh other. Thank you to all participants! Next Kevin discusses a topic that some of us love and others hate: film scanning. While Wayne doesn't make scans of his negatives, Kevin does with his color negative film, like his recent Ireland holiday negatives. Frustrated by problems with dust, non-flat negatives, and wacky scanner behavior, Kevin could really use some advice from our listeners. Our next segment is about one of our most admired people in photography today. His name is Ryan Kraus, the creative force behind the New Paltz Photo Works newpaper, which he publishes four times a year. And yes, it's a real physical newspaper! The paper recently celebrated it's 3rd anniversary with a special 52 page edition And guess what?!  Shutter Brother Wayne has some of his panoramic photographs in it! Wayne and Kevin wrap up the show with a discussion of rotary processing using a Jobo CPP-2. Wayne has been working with Safelight District Community Darkroom to get a donated Jobo CPP-2 up and working.  Throw in some great listener email, and you've got another classic Shutter Brother show. Enjoy! Happy Photography!

In a show that is equal parts celebration, reflection, and anticipation, Wayne and Kevin reach the one hundred episode milestone with the same curiosity and excitement about film photography that Kelley and Kevin had when they recorded show #1 just over eight years ago. The Shutter Brothers take time to reflect on all that has changed since then, and then they dive right into the future - their 5th Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers on October 24 in Huntsville, Alabama. The Show wraps up with some great listener email and a recap of Kevin's recent trip to Ireland. Thanks for listening, and Happy Photography!

It's late September, and the leaves in much of North America are finally beginning to show their fall colors. Perhaps this helped inspire Shutter Brother Wayne to open his box of beautiful 4x5 color transparencies (yes, Wayne once shot color!) and lay them out on the light table and think about how to scan them. Since Wayne has never before scanned film, he would really like some help from our faithfull listeners. Recently, Wayne visited a local estate sale that featured some photography gear, included somthing at Wayne hoped to bring home. And he would have succeded if it hadn't been for that breakfast sandwhich he stopped for on the way. Nevertheless, he did come away with several interesting items with "Hasselblad" on them. Listen to find out what they are. Next, Kevin discusses a photo book that left him confused after the first and second time through. The book is Skogen by Robert Adams, a photographer near and dear to Kevin's heart. Listen to find out what happened on the third pass. The 5th Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers is scheduled for Saturrday, October 24, in Huntsville, Alabama. Wayne and Kevin would love to see you there, and you an see all the details here. Happy Photography everyone! Now go get some good pictures!

Wayne and Kevin (The Shutter Brothers) are back - and Kevin has finally made a decision as to which cameras he will be taking to Ireland later this month. You'll have to listen to find out, but know this: it's the Final Answer! Menwhile, Wayne has some thoughts about his Canon Canonet QL GIII and what part it might play in his future photography endeavors.  Both the Shutter Bros. have been doing some darkroom printing lately, and Kevin has made use of a handy tool, the Ilford EM10. Listen to hear how it might help you. Some listener email and a discussion of the forthcoming 5th Annual Photowalk With the Shutters round out the show. Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 24 in Huntsville, Alabama for a day of photography, fellowship, and fun! Check out our show notes at www.unclejonesyscameras.blogspot.com for more details. Happy Photography!  

The Shutter Brothers are back with a new show and a question: Which phtographer do most associate with the National Parks of the United States? Ansel Adams? Charlton Watkins? How about Timothy O'Sullivan? Actually, the photographer who should be synonymous with the US National Parks is a name you probably haven't heard of:  George Alexander Grant. Kevin recently discovered a fascinating book about Grant and his amazing National Park photography, and he reviews it on the show. Meanwhile, Wayne and Kevin sort through some great listener email and discuss more details about the 5th Annual Photowak with the Shutter Brothers scheduled for Saturday, October 24 in Huntsville, Alabama.
