In episode 18 – we discuss photography from a beginner’s perspective with special guest, and long-time listener – Gene, who shares his story and experiences.

Gene started his voyage into digital photographer only a few months ago, and is seeking clarity on a number of issues which are typical questions asked by most newbies, ranging from appropriate gear, right through to effective focusing, depth of field and general techniques.

If you are thinking on taking up photography, are still in the early stages of your journey, or just need a refresher, then this episode is for you.

In episode 17 – we take a critical look at the new DJI RS3 PRO gimbal in combination with one of the more popular Black Magic cameras.

The team discuss the history of DJI gimbals, the benefits of each, and the pros and cons of the newest models to be released.

We also discuss the Raveneye video transmitter and tracker system, as well as how the new DS3 PRO can convert manual focus cameras to auto focusing using its LiDAR (range finder) system.

If you were wondering what gimbal is best for your camera and needs, this episode is for you.

Many thanks to Videoguys (Australia) for providing the sample DJI RS3 PRO for testing, and supporting this episode of the podcast.

We're back with episode 10!!!

In this episode we speak to Marcel Van der Horst who provides us an insight into the business of wedding photography (and a touch on videography).

Marcel takes us on a voyage from his early years, right through to how he has created his extremely successful wedding media business - and he doesn't skimp on any of the details.

Also included is a little discussion about legal contracts, ownership copyrights and obligations of wedding photographers - information that every wedding photographer should know, but doesn't always.

So sit back, crack open a bottle of champagne and celebrate our tenth episode!

What is that you say?

You are in lock down and have nothing to do?

You want to develop your skills in photography or videography but are not allowed to go out?

Well here is your solution!

Seeking Focus is a podcast designed by photographers and videographers for fellow and budding mediagraphers.

The concept came about during one of Melbourne’s COVID lockdowns, and has been going strong ever since.

In this episode we look at wireless microphones, and give you an in-depth rundown of some of the leading units on the market. We even do a side-by-side comparison of the two most sought after units in the business.

So why not pour yourself a cognac, put on your favourite fury slippers, kick pack in the lazy boy recliner, and spend the night relaxing with the soothing voices of the Seeking Focus team – Evan of Pixelife Studio and Marty of Melbourne Images.

Enjoy!
