Also, we look at an interesting set of Lightroom presets a listener pointed us to that seem to match other brands’ cameras to Fuji film simul...

We debate how much of photography is having an “eye” for it, versus learning the skills of using a camera. Then, we shift gears into discussing what gear we’d use to start a YouTube channel, and how we’d each approach filming and editing for a channel. Bonus: Lucas unexpectedly has to match camera brands with F1 teams.
