Episode 67 of the Light Overtime Podcast with David Sargent and Korey Bartos. This week on the show, we cover recent photography adventures, new gear experiences, and evolving creative workflows. From testing the Fuji X-T4 and Nikon Zfand experimenting with RAW vs JPEG, to street photography in San Diego and a shift toward more intentional birding, the conversation explores how different tools and approaches shape the way we shoot and create.
