The Shutter Brothers, (Kelley Lane, Kevin Lane, and Wayne Setser) welcome you to our page!

I got out this morning, for the first time in over a month, for a hike to the Black Mountain overlook. It was nice to spend a windy, cold, foggy morning in the woods with Little Boy. I made only one exposure, but it was a great morning.

The Shutter Brothers are back - and the have a special guest. Wayne and Kevin welcome Chattanooga area photographer Matt Dunmore to show #86 for a conversation about gear, subject selection, and his passion for capturing images on film. The Shutter Bros plus Matt also recap the 4th Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers and discuss plans for future events.

Finally, congratulation to Tori Fyfe and Safelight District Community Darkroom, who recently moved into a much larger and nicer space. Tori graiously allowed the Shutter Brothers to record this podcast there, and it was quite fun. Thank you Tori!

Happy Photography!

To Shutter Brothers Wayne and Kevin, photography is a hobby. We're not pros. We do it for fun and fulfillment. But as Kevin found out, a hobby can be ruined if the fun is squeezed out by other things. This show is dedicated to keeping you from ruining your photography hobby and how to repair the damage if you have. Listen to learn what Kevin is doing to put the fun back into film.

The 4th Annual Photowalk with the Shutter Brothers is just over a month away, and we have details. The date: Saturday, October 25. The time: 8:00 am CDT. The place: Old Stone Fort State Archaelogical Park near Manchester, Tennessee. We really hope you can attend!

The show wraps with listener email, Rock City Gardens, barns, and . . . cows!

Happy Photography!

After years of driving past this Rock City barn I finally asked the owner for permission to photograph it from the pasture. Kevin and I stopped by this morning and were greeted by about a dozen curious cows. They quickly lost interest when they realized we didn't have any food for them and let us get back to photography. This barn is typically photographed from Hwy 58, which runs just to its right. Hwy 58 is a two lane road with very narrow shoulders, so not a safe place to set up a tripod. Having access to the pasture offered unique composition opportunities of this often photographed barn.

Remember: DO NOT TRESPASS, trespassing just makes it difficult for all photographers, we had permission to be there.

A Sign From The Past

For 22 years, 18 of which were with my own shop, I made a living repairing cameras. From 1982 to 2000 this sign graced the front of my shop, for the past 15 years it's been laying neglected under a tree along a fence in one of our fields. I noticed it this morning while bush hogging and thought it needed rescuing. I pulled it out and set it by a gate to remind me to pick it up when I finished. It's back at the barn now waiting for me to find a new home for it. I'm debating whether to clean it up before I hang it or leave it grungy.

I made this photograph of the Historic Rhea County Courthouse in Dayton TN, home of the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, during last month's Great Film Photo Meetup: Chattanooga. I had the pleasure of showing a great group of film photographers from as far away as California and Colorado around some of my favorite places. We spent the morning at Laurel-Snow State Natural Area, lunch at Monkey Town Brewing Company, and in and around the courthouse. I'm looking forward to our next meetup.

Welcome to Uncle Jonesy’s Cameras

Hello film photographers! We are the Shutter Brothers, Kelley and Kevin Lane, and we would like to welcome you the the Uncle Jonesy’s Cameras Podcast. We both started shooting film cameras as children growing up in the 1960’s, and when when digital photography came along, we went along willingly. Recently, however, we both have made a return to shooting film and even developing it ourselves. Along the way, we have had to learn some new things and relearn some old things as well, and we feel it is important to share what we are learning with the growing numbers of people who are discovering the joy of shooting classic film cameras and making your photography hand-crafted. So, we created the Uncle Jonesy’s Cameras Podcast for you. In each episode, Kelley and I sit in the same room and share with you (and each other) our tips and tricks about film, cameras, processing, and shooting techniques. We love to read listener email and answer questions, and and we hope that something we say will inspire our listeners to grab their cameras, load them with film, and go capture memorable moments and places.

We are not “anti-digital.” In fact, as neither of us currently have a darkroom for making prints, we employ a “blended” approach to turning our negatives into positive images. And, we use our iPhone cameras for snapshots and other times when appropriate. Furthermore, some of our shooting ideas and techniques can be applied to digital photography as well. However, we have found great enjoyment in getting our vintage cameras out of the closet and making them work again (we also “occasionally” add to our camera collection). And our fun extends to developing our film ourself. It has become a “hands-on” hobby again, and everything we read today online tells us that more and more of you and purchasing film cameras and learning how to use them. We couldn’t be more pleased to be on the same journey as all of you.

We plan to make as many podcasts as our professional and personal schedules allow, but we hope to release about two shows each month. Also, you will finds posts of our activities right here on this page. Finally, we hope you will visit our blog which you can find at https://unclejonesyscameras.blogspot.com

Happy Shooting!
