I sat down this week and talked with my good pal and Canon EOS R shooter Keith Arkins to talk about my experience shooting with Canons latest beast the R5. Canon Ireland were good enough to let me have the R5 with some amazing RF lenses, the 15-35, 24-70 and the 70-200. I had the gear for 5 days, shooting in Wicklow for a day and Connemara for 4 days with plenty of different scenes to test its weather sealing and most of all dynamic range! Find out how I got on and see if I'm tempted to switch from my trusted Sony.

In this episode I'm having a chat with good friends, Darren J Spoonley and Diarmuid O Donovan, the hosts of The Irish Photography Podcast. I spent plenty of episodes being asked the questions with the lads on the IPP, this time it was my turn to ask the questions. As well as being good pals, Darren is arguably Ireland's most consistent vlogger, while DOD dips in and out of the vlogs, mixing them with time-lapse and great energy.
I'm also going to test a new camera and some lenses out for the next week or so... and its not a Sony!

Friday 9pm we hit the road for a last minute few days in Donegal, Saturday night/Sunday morning at 3am we're back home in Dublin. What was supposed to be a few days ended up being just over 24 hours, why??? You best listen, we had it all planned, Cloud inversions, Sunrises, sunsets and camping!!
If you going to fail at photography, you might as well do it with two gas men, which is exactly what Mark and Milo are

So, there's a new low light beast in town... The Sony a7siii
Given the nature of their work and the fact they already shoot with the Sony a7s and A7sii I was delighted to have Adrien and Alyn on the @bgphotopod again talking to me about the newly announced a7siii. For anyone on the fence about this camera there's probably not two better guys placed than these to give an opinion on it especially if your into astro photography, night time vlogging or time-lapsing the night sky
The lads will also be answering your questions and I find out if they will or already have pre ordered this new camera... Will the fact its only 12mp be a deciding factor?
We may also discuss the new 12-24 GM and 20mm G lenses, check out Alyn's review on the 20mm 1.8 here

I was super excited when Jenifer agreed to come onto the podcast. Jenifer is a renowned, UK based photographer and personally one of my favourite seascape photographers. On this episode she talks us through how photography has been around her from a very young age, helping her dad who himself was a photographer. What impresses me most about Jenifers work is that she currently doesn't even live by the sea! Her ability to capture light, mood and motion is spectacular and just from hearing her speak I have no doubt she will inspire others to get out and shoot some dramatic seascapes.

I couldn't be happier to sit down and chat with my good pal and extraordinary astro and aurora photographer Adrien Mauduit of Night Lights Films. Adrien has been someone who I have admired for a very long time. The first thing that pops into my he'd when I think of Adrien is the amazing time-lapse video on his YouTube "Under the sky of Tenerife", click here to give it a watch along with all his other videos, you won't be disappointed. What I love about Adrien is not just what he shoots but its his knowledge of what he's shooting thats incredible. This is not a podcast to be missed.

I have been blessed to share some of my favourite experiences with a camera with my good pals Anthony Lynch and Ian Carruthers over the years, but it will be very hard to top this! After our first two chases ended up being busts, it was third time lucky last Thursday night / Friday morning. Chasing a storm in Ireland is hard, but when it happens its special. We talk you through the highs and lows and answer your questions on all things storm chasing. Enjoy!!
