Officially, fall has arrived here in Southern Ontario. Although with the warm weather we've been having recently, it's hard to tell other than the fact that the days are getting shorter. And with the change of season, the team sits down to talk about everything related to fall photography, from capturing the bright colourful leaves on your favourite film stocks to showing off the late fall gloom in stark black and white.

Episode 207 - I Know What You Did Last Summer
We're at the end of summer, and, like you, we don't know how it went by so quickly. Also, the constant heat warnings here in Southern Ontario limited when and how long we could get out and practice photography. However, James, Alex, and Bill all had the opportunity to get out or at least intended to practice photography. And today, they sit down to discuss mostly film stocks, such as Phoenix II and Kentmere 200, which were used by the team's cameras. But also when things go sideways and the best intentions to get out and shoot end up with leaving the camera (accidentally) behind.

Episode 206 - Camino de Santiago
Photography is a journey, and sometimes that journey intersects with another, and that's what today's episode is all about. For those who don't know, the Camino de Santiago or Way of St. James is a network of pilgrim ways all leading to the Shrine of the Apostle James at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain. And a couple of months ago, it was completed by a friend of the podcast, James McFarlane. James and Alex sit down to talk about the journey, the photography, and how it changed him. It's something a little different for the podcast, but something that needed to be done.

Episode 205 - OverLooked/UnderRated
When it comes to photography, there's always going to be the popular items. The ones that everyone wants to have and use, we're talking the Leica M3, Canon AE-1, fast prime lenses, trending film stocks like Portra, and all the normal developers out there. But what about those things that are often overlooked, underrated and underappreciated? Well, that's exactly what James, Bill and Alex sit down to talk about in today's episode. From the Leica M5 to the Olympus OM series, 28mm f/3.5 lenses, slow films, and different developers, nothing is off the table.

Episode 204 - A Decade of GAS
This episode is another live show from the streets of Toronto during our 10th Anniversary Photo Walk & Brewery Tour. The tour took the gang from Sugar Beach and the Great Lake Brew Pub on Lower Jarvis, through Old Town Toronto and into the Distillery District for Old Flame Brewing Co., and then into Riverside for Eastbound Brewing. There were other breweries planned, but due to the weather, we stopped at Eastbound. Despite the weather (which was not pleasant), about twenty people attended the event, and everyone enjoyed the shorter but safer walk. Alex took the time to record short interviews with twelve attendees and asked them a series of questions. What Camera(s) do you have with you, what is your favourite subject matter, what is your favourite film stock and what in your mind makes for a good photo? You can view all of Alex's photos on Flickr.
