Photographers often focus on cameras, but it’s usually the lens that can have the most impact on the type of photos you’re creating. In this episode, Jeff and Kirk are talking glass: lenses. When would you want a prime lens, which has a fixed focal length, and when does a zoom work better? Why are prime lenses often better? And why not just use one zoom lens that hits both wide and telephoto ranges? We sort out an often confusing topic.

Do you have a pile of old cameras and lenses stashed in a closet somewhere? Or do you sell unused gear to make way for new goodies? This week, Kirk and Jeff talk about buying and selling your photo gear: where to do it, pitfalls to avoid, and more.

Time-lapse photography can create dramatic short videos - think about clouds zooming overhead throughout the course of a day or flowers blooming in seconds - but creating time-lapse videos turns out to be remarkably easy. In this episode, Jeff and Kirk walk through the process of using the Time-Lapse mode in the iOS Camera app as well as capturing time-lapse photos with traditional cameras.
