On this inaugural episode of the Lights Camera Lenses Podcast we’re talking about Mobile apps and photography. Also our friend Josh Paris joined us for this one.

Stuff we cover:

Computational Photography features in these apps, how these relate to the way we use our bigger cameras and what they might mean for the future of photography.

Apps that interface with our big cameras and what we wish they could do.

We also got into the rumored (when we recorded) and now released Canon R5. And each of us shared some of our favorite apps for photography.
