Uncle Jonesy's Cameras Podcast #65: Happy Holiday(s) Photography!

The Shutters Brothers wish you the happiest of holidays and the happiest of holiday photography, and to that end, Wayne and Kevin share their tips on how to best capture the spirit of the season on film (or sensor!) And since many of us use flash to make things merry and bright, Wayne does a deep dive on flash guide numbers and how to make them work for you. Look for some helpful notes below.

The Bros. also answer some listener email, discuss the Platypus, a cool 4x5 sheet film drying rack from Simon Forster, and look forward some photographic goals for 2024.
