TWiT+ Club Shows 688

Join Leo Laporte and photographer Chris Marquardt for a lively visual adventure through user-submitted photos, timely photo news, and hands-on tips. Chris returns from an electric road trip through Eastern Europe and previews a new holiday photo workshop, while the duo discusses the art of silhouettes, reflections, abstract motion, and why your camera might soon need an AirTag. They also explore deep topics like cinematic realism, AI fakery, and a mind-bending new color science says you’ll never see. This month’s challenge? Geometric.
