Forecasting Weather and Fujifilm Instax



In this episode Jack and John talk about the importance of following the weather and learning how to predict the conditions for more productive photography while on location.  Using apps and websites, if you know the weather predicted and how it may change during the day/week, you can better pick the right locations and subjects for the available light. Predicting the weather, along with knowing the different stages of sunrise and sunset, means that you can be in the right position at the right time

 

Plus, we have an exciting interview with a Fujifilm Instax camera user who talks about why she loves her Instax. The Instax line is a huge seller for Fujifilm and is bringing back the joy of prints and sharing with friends.  Remember the old Polarioids and sharing those pictures?  Well, the Instax is bringing this joy to new generations!
