In this episode, Wayne and Kevin work through the subject of filters for film phtography. In the old days , filters were the next gear the camera store sales person tried to sell you after a camera and lenses. But are the that important? How often does Wayne (who has been shooting large format photography for over four decades) put a filter in front of his lens? You will be surprised by his answer. Nevertheless, filters have their place, and the right filter at the right time and place can make or break a picture (just ask Ansel Adams).

Next, Kevin shares a tale of woe regarding a few rolls of Kentmere 400 that he recently shot and deveoped with the same workflow he's followed for years with other films. It seems that reading and following the instructions for each brand of film is much more important than Kevin had thought.

Don't forget that Wayne had a major retrospective show of fifty years of photography coming up. You can find the details here.

The Shutter Brothers are back - and Wayne has big news! The Athens Council of the Arts is presenting a restrospective show of Wayne's fifty years of photography from April 20 until May 22 at The Arts Center in Athens, Tennessee. This exhibit will include over fifty of Wayne's favorite photographs, and the opening recepition will be held on Friday, May, 8, from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm. This is your opportunity to view experience Wayne's amazing photography first hand.

Having a show like this is the dream of many photographers, so this show is mostly dedicated to a discussion of what goes into making a show like this happen. Wayne discusses how he selected the prints to be included, what prints needed re-printing, what are the important details of matting and framing the prints, the sequencing and arranging of the prints, and the arriving at a price for each print. There is more involved with the process that you can imgagine.

The show wraps up with some listener email and recognition of listeners who have supported the show financially. Thank you!

So, the Shutter Bros. discuss TLRs (Kevin's is a Rolleicord Va) and how to shoot and print square images.
