#45 Matt Beckberger, On The Spot

Description

When Reveni Labs launched the Kickstarter for their innovative hot shoe mounted meter a couple of years ago it very quickly reached its funding goal. It was therefore no surprise that Matt’s latest Kickstarter was funded within 2 hours.

Things we chatted about on the show:

A fair chunk of time was spent answering some great emails from listeners and all four of us had things to say.

Billy Sanford wrote to us following up our recent discussion around the need (or not) to post to social media and we kicked that around a bit more.

Michael Wellman sent in a great email , although we think he meant to send it to our good friend Matt Marrash , all about image circle. We focused all our joint knowledge and realised it didn’t add up to much but we had a stab at making some relevant points.

A couple of great books that cover this in some detail are:

Using The Viewcamera by Steve Simmons.

And View Camera Technique by Leslie Stroebel .

Aforementioned Matt Marrash put out a video covering this;

Chris King wrote to us with some suggestions for LF press photographers, thanks Chris they are on our radar.

Simon draws our attention to the interview on Grainy Dayz Podcast with Frank Thorp.

Tim Holmes draws us back to our “naval gazing “ episode which led to more chatter and then lastly Michael asked about our hard to find Ko Fi page. Here is the link.

Eventually we get around to introducing Matt who gets Andrew very excited with talk of his innovative spot meter launching on Kickstarter. Pretty much all you need to know is here on the KS page. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mattbechberger/reveni-labs-spot-meter-tiny-spot-meter-for-your-film-camera/description
