Sunny 16 Podcast

On this weeks show it's a proper treat to have both Clare back from her trip to Spain to attend the Experimental Photography Festival, and Rachel back with us for probably her last pre-motherhood appearance! And John and Graeme are there as well, because someone has to press record and stop.   Lots of festival chat from Clare, photographic preparations before going into hospital with Rach,  John has been on an interesting workshop this week exploring new ways of getting art out in the world, and Graeme went for a walk - we've all had a mad old time of it.   https://en.experimentalphotofestival.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh4QtDhYpTu4rqb1PAIXZAQ https://www.instagram.com/claremariebailey/?hl=en Polaroid Now book: https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/9781797201375?gC=5a105e8b&gclid=CjwKCAjwmK6IBhBqEiwAocMc8iTKeyvcdvvtnNNv_A2l943m-fWW9xeASfGK2zz4rqKMnX8U7C4WBhoCiXAQAvD_BwE

On this weeks show we address the issue that despite backing the Agent Shadow kickstarter to get his hands on a load of 35mm film, Ade doesn't own a 35mm camera, having sold them all last year.  His co-hosts offer a variety of suggestions for what he should buy to rectify this issue, none of which he seems convinced by, hopefully you guys can do better!   Also on this show we launch the next round of the Cheap Shots Challenge!   Send in your suggestions for Ade and your Cheap Shots pictures to: sunny16podcast@gmail.com

On this weeks show we ramble broadly on about what it's been like to start interacting with other people photographically in the wake of the first photo walk since January 2020.    A huge shout out to everyone we met on the day, especially all the people who we failed to mention on the show - it was lovely getting to see you all/watch many of you slowly turn bright pink!

A huge thank you to everyone who got in touch and sent something in, you are all far better people than we deserve to have listening!   Find Mike on Instagram @aloha_bigmike The new zine can be seen and bought here: https://www.blurb.com/b/10703303-america-fifty-on-film   https://www.ilfordphoto.com/making-a-photobook-from-darkroom-prints/   The Birthday Song by Silence is full of birds https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

On this weeks show it's the return of the One Hour Challenge, where the hosts of the show have one hour to try and accomplish a photographic goal, and you get to listen along to see how well (or otherwise) they get on.   The challenge this time out was to use household light sources as cheap/free ways of lighting our pictures. Both the results and the light sources used were very varied...   Music used on the show: Pixelland by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4222-pixelland License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
