Episode 29: Make the most of the coast

The latest episode of the Photography News podcast encourages you to grab your bucket, spade, and camera gear then head to the beaches to make the most of the coast. Everyone in the UK is lucky enough to live within a couple of hours of the seaside, so now the school holidays are over and the crowds are dying down, it’s a great time to head there with your camera. The team discusses the photo opportunities that await, the challenges to overcome and - crucially - how to keep your precious kit free from grit and sea spray. Elsewhere on the podcast, Kingsley, Will and Roger take a trip down memory lane to recall cameras they owned in their 20s - which reveals some rather surprising choices - and they discuss the benefits of using legacy lenses. You’ll also learn what’s in the forthcoming issue of the magazine, when a macro lens isn’t a macro lens (and when it is), plus the benefits and pitfalls of using the Auto ISO mode.
