• Episode 444- Shutter Speed Madness! 09.01.2026 59min

  The boys continue their dive in to underwater photography with a discussion centered around the third leg of the photography triangle, shutter speed. Also, the listener should be warned that there may be humor of all types in this podcast. From high brow, intellectual, down to the juvenile, "Beavis and Butthead" humor. But this warning is not for the average diver/listener simply because we know that is probably a good portion of the reason why they listen to the podcast. This warning is for those "serious listeners" that feel threatened or offended or triggered by laughter...or worry they may accidentally laugh at a ball shaving advertisement and be ashamed. Have a listen!
