It’s the final Photography News podcast of the season and time to gather our nearest and dearest to reflect on all that’s happened this year. That’s right – this time we’re talking favourite photo kit of 2021 – what else were you thinking?!

In this episode, Will, Roger and Kingsley discuss their top cameras, lenses and photo innovations from the past 12 months, eyeing up the gear that’s made a difference to their photography, as well as the shiny new stuff they want to get their hands on in the New Year.

Elsewhere, though the year is drawing to a close, the team’s activities continue. Will discusses the finer points of selecting and making prints as Christmas presents; Kingsley talks through the risks and rewards of a local portrait project; and Roger plans some reportage-style family photography.

And to top it all off, there’s advice on when – and when not – to use in-camera Noise Reduction; how to adapt your Autofocus modes for whatever you’re shooting; what to look for in a camera for creating video; and how to speed up your shooting with Custom modes.
