The Pubcast crew (Gary, Daz, Dave “DG”, Sam…and a late cameo from Stu) share the lenses we actually love and use—from telephotos to tiny primes—and debate when wide-angle really works in landscape photography.We kick off with a big announcement: our 2024 Photography Pubcast Competition now has three categories (Landscape, Wildlife, Other) and three entries per person. We’ll shortlist, you’ll vote for the overall winner on YouTube/Facebook—bragging rights guaranteed.Gear chat highlights:Sony 100–400mm: Daz’s do-everything wildlife/walkabout long lensOlympus/OM System 8–25mm PRO & Leica 15mm f/1.7 (Micro Four Thirds): Dave’s landscape workhorsesCanon EF 70–200mm f/4 (non-IS): Sam’s bargain favorite (adapter + IBIS = sharp!)Vintage Canon FD 50mm f/1.4: Gary’s character glass for street/interiorsNikon Z 24–200mm: Stu’s “bad-weather savior” zoomPlus: 14mm ultra-wides for aurora & interiors and why some of us still struggle with 16–35mm in the woods.Then it’s live image critique:• Dave’s misty Llanberis/Pen-y-Pass sunrise (that little tree!)• Gary’s Stanage Edge light—WB, shadows & crops discussed• Daz’s sun-kissed fell scene—contrast, vignette and lakeshore tones• Sam’s B&W inversion and a mirror-calm reflection… plus his woodland wide-angle that made the NLPA book.If you’re into landscape composition tips, lens recommendations, wide vs telephoto decisions, reflections, seascapes, woodland scenes, and honest peer critique, this episode’s for you.
