Behind the Drawbridge – Photography Podcast from Castle Cameras
By Castle Cameras
The guys go deep on both the technical aspects of cameras, lenses, tripods, flash and other accessories, along with the funnier side of being a photographer, camera shop employee and being two daft, slightly middled-aged men. They have interviews with industry insiders, photographers, both amateur and professional, and other interesting folk who like to talk.
