For podcasting I recommend using a dynamic microphone as it will reject a lot of room sound and background noise. The most important part is to make sure you are as close as you can comfortably be. Using a pop filter can help reduce sibilance and plosives as well.
Cheap But Great Option
►Samson Technologies Q2U amzn.to/3BzqP63
Expensive option
►Shure SM7B Vocal Dynamic Microphone amzn.to/3BAmFL4
Unless you have a really high quality preamp a level booster will give you a much cleaner sound

As someone who loves many kinds of creative expression, I'd highly recommend attending your local gallery's shows and exhibits. I am on a grant review committee for my local arts association, one of a group responsible for granting money to artists brave enough to write about their work and apply for money. I myself had a one person show of stereographic photography some time ago which is where I learned about grant writing. To paraphrase Lucy, "put yourself out there and go for the gold." You never know what you might achieve.
Great advice David I love this so much! Thank you 🙏🏻
Just yesterday my wife and I were talking about social media in general and how we really need to spend less time on it. That's one of my new year's resolutions. But wait, it's still 2022...
Hey Ricardo! Yes absolutely it’s a good resolution to have. Although I think social media can be a very useful and creative thing if you use it correctly and don’t get sucked into comparison or doom scrolling. Hope you guys have a great weekend!
This gave me quite a few ideas on how to progress! Thank you so much for all of the advice and congrats on the German exhibit!
Oh thank you so much! I’m glad to hear this have you some ideas 💡 I love sharing what’s worked for me as a photographer. Good luck in 2023!
I have been showing drawings, paintings and photos for decades in various galleries for the last 30 years and I learned early that you need to put your stuff out there if you want to be seen ... editing in your basement will never get you anywhere!!! Oddly enough i have many people who know me as only a photographer and an equal amount of people who know me as a guy who draws!!! I just dig that people know me!!!
Thank you Lucy , your programs are brilliant .
Lot of good advices as always. I need to work better in my writing skills, now that i think about it. Congratulations in your exhibition news, you totally deserve the recognition for your amazing work!
I have recently found and started following your channel. I’m glad I did because you produce great content and provide a ton of value. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much 😊 I’m glad to hear it xx
I thought starting a TH-cam channel was going to be the most difficult thing on the planet, but then my main channel hit 1K within its first week and it honestly gave me the push I need to finally start my photography channel. It's still going to be hard, but it's nowhere near as hard as I was telling myself it would be
Congratulations 👏🏻 that is so awesome lovely! It is really hard haha 😂 but it’s so worth it and consistency is really key I think. Merry Xmas and good luck with everything in 2023!
So many great points in this vid Lucy. Exciting things ahead in 2023 😊
Thank my love 🎞️📸🙏🏻
Thanks for a fun and informative video. So far, my photography has been mostly for me, and a bit for family/friends. Your presentation reminds me I have the potential to develop it further.
Also, congratulations on your growing audience. Obviously, your hard work was bound to pay off.
Hey 👋🏻 thank you so much! It’s just as important to photograph for you and definitely your family and friends, but there is so much more potential and opportunity out there if you want it. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Loved this one Lucy, thanks!
Hey 👋🏻 thanks buddy! 😊
So good, thank you!
Awesome as usual Lucy! The Darkroom potential is huge! Thanks for sharing these! And love the audio and lighting in this vid 😊
Hey Matt! Thank you so much 😊 glad you enjoyed and yes darkroom is a great tool and platform for artists. Hope you are doing okay my friend.
Damn nice :) hyped for the exhibition in hamburg
Thank you!
Thank you!
Congratulations on the gallery! inspiring as always :)
Thank you lovely!
I don't think I ever saw this! Thank you Lucy :)
Pleasure! I am always recommending your substack and you in general to people I speak to! So inspiring thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks for tips you’re a kind person to take the time to freely share information. Keep Shooting and Stay Positive always 📷☘️
Thank you 🙏🏻
AWESOME! And thanks for the shout out :D There is so much beyond Instagram, while it still is pretty much where a lot of people are, there are so many others outside it as well and often its easy to get stuck or trapped in the metasphere. Really great examples of where else folks can showcase their photography and be seen and definitely you have to shout about yourself tho this is the hardest thing for me lol but its so true :)
Thanks miss molly! You are killing it across so many platforms right now. I’m excited to see what else you do in 2023. I was so happy to shout you out and use you as an example, thank you 🙏🏻 🎞️📷
TH-cam is where I first saw you and some of your work. From there I have since looked at your content on the other platforms. I’m not a big social media fan, but that is the state of the world these days.
Very informative! I just go back into photography (again) and I've been frustrated with the small size of pics on IG. I've been meaning to look into other platforms and then your vid came up in my feed. Nice vid as well. Subbed...
Thank you for this. Dang I learned quite a bit lmao
Thank you for your tips :-).
With greetings from lower Bavaria.
Thank you for watching lovely!
Ha Snap you made my Friday night Lucy :)
Oh Anthony, I'm sorry I missed your comment. Thank you for everything and for joining the live stream this morning we had so much fun. You're a legend!
Great video. Have you looked at Grainery?
Question: I looked at Darkroom and did not see a way to look at other or any artist website or artwork. How can I look at other works?
Yep, I've been thinking about expanding my reach (because I can and have enough knowledge how to). I followed Jason and Caleb's TH-cam podcast recently though, and I'm feeling it. I'm starting to think I really should not care about being "popular."
They talked about a thing I like to call Vampire content eaters... It can feel like that sometimes, with so much content out there, on average, about any topic you want to follow, there is really an unhealthy relationship with content, where people basically suck the blood out of you...
Every time I ramp up enough to think about posting content more regularly, I get a build up, and some likes and maybe follows, but yeah, I dunno, if I think about it, and then look at the Metrics, as soon as you stop posting regularly, your metrics fall through the floor and when you start think about it being metrics it can really drain the fuck out of your life.... Sometimes I just stop doing anything photography related because I hate it... I get in a funk... and I think to myself about why I bother with it... Because while I enjoy it, I hate putting so much content out there for maybe 30 likes on something only for the next fickle person to move onto the next fad...
I think maybe I should be one of those people who takes a whole bunch of photos then puts them in a shoe box only for them to be found by someone after I'm dead? I don't really know.... I've been having some of those moments lately with everything I shoot. There's also that other thing, I like what I like but my audience may not necessarily like the same type of content as the content I like to shoot... There seems to be very little synchronicity in this game at times.
Great Great Great!
Thank you lovely!
quick question: what method did you use to hang you polaroids on wall?
❤
😍
I really need to populate that darkroom store... I made an account forever but never got around to it. The biggest issue is that most of my scans are low res 😅
You totally should get onto that Phil! I know what you mean though I had low res scans when I started but now I always get high res ones in case of bangers I want to sell on there or submit to competitions etc. thanks for watching lovely.
Was that a Harmony Rocket? I have one of those! Cool to see on TH-cam.
I’m actually not sure but if you check out my newsletter the picture of it should be in one of the older issues interviewing Michael Robert Walsh. The link is in the description of the video. Thanks for watching lovely.
Starting a YT for photography can be a double-edged sword though. Especially for Landscape photography. Any photo taken at a national forest or state park without a permit can land you in prison and paying hefty fines if you upload any video onto TH-cam. And not every TH-camr who is starting out can afford to pay a non-refundable 200-400 dollar application fee without the guarantee that you get the permit.
Substack is a joke, had an account for 30 minutes, wrote a whole story about and attached some photos to it. Posted it and the photos didn’t show up. Tried to repost and it just wouldn’t post. Ended up just deleting my account.
Yeah. IG is getting really frustrating
Is for depressed people
Ah, different lighting detected
Well spotted yes! You will have to ask Lux for the details as it went over my head. I’m not sure it’s exactly how he wants it as we only had an hour to film while Luca was out of the house so he was a bit rushed. Thanks for watching!
Uuuuhhhgg.... DAN MILNOR...UUUHHHH...
Facebook?
Why?
Interesting accent.
Submitting to vanity exhibitions for a fee is detrimental to your career. The pseudo gallery model of business is out of control.
If less people left IG there wouldn't be an issue ....
Why you make videos not photos 😂
Come to Islam and success
Idiot, this not a religious channel.. Gtfo here... No proof islam or God or Muhammad
If you have anything to say or share about photography and/ or art, share it, otherwise go to other channels to state your religious stuff
@@doctorocpus come to Islam n success
@@doctorocpus exactly
@@budakart success lol do I get 72 virgins ?
This video really helps a lot. IG has become reels and advertising.
Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching
I sort of swerved into the digicam theme via one month two cameras and the fact that already had several. Not exactly sure where I’m going yet but I’ve been involved with photography for a long time. Never been a pro photographer but for some reason I keep at it. Perhaps because I’ve been making images on paper over half my life.
Is for young teens and depressed people
😍
