106 – White balance and why snow is blue | Photography podcast #106 discusses the often confusing topic of white balance and why sometimes the camera screws up our images like giving us blue snow. Correcting this is really easy and it just requires a bit of understanding of what is going on in the background. In a very tight oversimplified nutshell, when we see something that has colour, it has that colour due to the colour temperature of the light source illuminating it. Light a candle in a dark room and look at a white baseball; it will look orange. The same thing happens with white snow that looks bluish under cloudy overcast conditions because cloudy light is bluish. Our eyes might not notice the blue because our brain compensates for the cast because it "knows" that snow is white, but the camera often gets it wrong. In this podcast we talk about white balance, automatic white balance, the white balance presets that your camera comes with and setting a custom white balance. If you've ever wanted to improve the colour accuracy of your images, this photo podcast offers up some fast tips. If your image has a colour cast, to neutralize it, you add the OPPOSITE colour of the cast.

105 – Four tips to improve your bounced flash photography | Photography podcast #105 offers up tips on how to improve your bounced flash photography. Bouncing your flash off of walls and ceilings is easy and really softens the light which is often desirable especially in portraits. You can also achieve a much more interesting lighting pattern versus direct on-camera flash. You can often achieve great results with minimal effort and minimal help; I often use bounced flash when I am shooting alone and need a quick lighting setup. The images below of my wife Carmy were shot in about 5 minutes against a slightly green wall in my livingroom. The tones in the face and background wall are similar but not identical in all images and I deliberately chose not to match them to see the subtle differences. These differences are due to the different ways that the light bounced around the room. There were windows in the room but the day was cloudy and no direct light was shining through the windows. Images are unretouched.

104 – Backing up images like a pro versus a bonehead | Photography podcast #104 discusses strategies for backing up your images. One of my external hard drives that held tens of thousands of images failed recently. Even though I had a duplicate of the images on another drive, the duplicates were poorly arranged. This got me thinking about better and safer backup strategies. I'd DEFINITELY appreciate hearing about YOUR backup strategies.

103 – Photography umbrella for rain and snow | Photography podcast #103 talks about a wet weather photography umbrella contraption that I recently put together. Basically it's a GIANT golf umbrella and a sling. I've been shooting a lot in the rain and snow lately and sometimes you need to have both hands free. This umbrella contraption allows you to keep both hands on the camera and works well in heavy rain or snow so long as it's not too windy.

102 – Layering images with interesting elements | Photography podcast #102 discusses layering your photographs with interesting elements. This involves serious attention to the overall composition of every frame that you take. If you are taking a shot of a mountain for example, there's always more to the shot than just the mountain. When you are aware of what's around the mountain and take the time to "layer" the image with interesting elements, the composition as a whole gets much stronger. We also touch on how to refine those "layered elements" in post processing.

101 – Moving your camera during the exposure – Interview with Michael Orton | Photography podcast #101 features an interview with one of my favorite photographers, fine art photographer Michael Orton. In this podcast we talk about deliberately moving your camera during the exposure. Normally, this is FORBIDDEN and you do everything in your power to keep the camera as still as possible while shooting. But Michael has a very unique way of seeing and has again broken the rules. He has created a unique and fabulous new portfolio of one-of-a-kind abstract landscape images, by way of compound camera movements that I now refer to as Orton Compound Camera Movements or OCCM. This podcast discusses deliberate camera movements for creative effect. Michael Orton is a fine art photography pioneer. First he created Orton Imagery, AKA the Orton effect some 30ish years ago. This technique has been used by tens of thousands of photographers and has become so popular that Adobe Elements 10 now features an action called the Orton Effect. I'd bet hard that Michael's technique involving compound camera movements also develops a cult-like following in the years to come. Thanks so much Michael! Awakening by Michael Orton - The abstract painterly feel to this image was created IN CAMERA by using OCCM (Orton's compound camera movements).

100 – Shoot in any light | Photography podcast #100 celebrates our 100th photography podcast and focuses on the tag line of the podcast which is 'keep on shooting' in any light. I'd like to take this moment to thank all our listeners! Your support and encouragement during these past 100 episodes has been awesome. Thanks for all the feedback, all the comments and all the contributions. Special thanks as well to all the guests that have shared their knowledge so freely. More interviews are planned for the future. In this podcast I offer up tips on how to shoot in any light so long as it suits the subject. I shot this image at about 2pm. The light that most of the ducks were resting in was bright and harsh. Had I shot this duck in that direct light, the shadows would have been too harsh. This particular duck though was resting under a shelter that softened the light and the soft light suited this subject far better and holds details in the blacks and the whites. Straight shot - No flash was used here.

99 – Controlling brightness in photography | Photography podcast #99 discusses how to control brightness in your images. Our eye tends to follow or rest upon bright objects in a photograph and very often these objects or elements are not the focal point of the image thus causing our eyes to wander. Controlling the brighter elements in a scene takes some planning during shooting, and some work in post-processing but ultimately your images will be stronger. You'll also have way more control over the final image where you the creator of the image guide the viewer's eye purposefully.

97 – How to photograph with hard light | Photography podcast #97 is a primer on how to use hard light. Hard light is trickier to use than soft light but there is NO reason to avoid using it. It just needs to be used appropriately. Part of using hard light and shadow in photography is being very aware of where the shadows will fall and changing your position or your lighting if you don't like where they fall. Here's a couple of basic points when using hard light in photography: - Hard light comes from a small light source relative to your subject. The sun IS a small light source in this respect because it is 93 million miles away from the earth. - Hard light produces hard shadows which are good in many cases especially to reveal form. - The farther the light source is from the subject, the HARDER the shadows. - The farther away the light source is from the subject, the SHORTER the shadows. To prove this to yourself take a flashlight into the bathroom and shut off the lights. Shine the light on your finger in front of the wall. Move the light around and you will learn a ton about shadows.

96 – Tripods for photography (the good stuff) | Photography podcast #96 is a primer on how to buy a great tripod, what to look for in a tripod and why you should buy a great tripod.

94 – Turning day into night | Photography podcast #94 teaches how to turn day into night or late afternoon for portrait purposes. This technique is often used by wedding, fashion and portrait photographers. The goal of the technique is to make the sky look darker so that the model pops against the sky. This often adds mood and/or drama to a shot. We discuss 2 techniques; using flash and camera in manual non TTL (Through the lens) mode as well as TTL mode. We also touch on flash sync speeds.

93 – Black and white photography – qualities that make good bw images | Photography podcast #93 is based on a thread in our photography forum by member asnow where he asks about the qualities make a good black and white photo. A number of other forum members help answer the question and I offer up some personal opinions as well. One‚piece‚of good advice involves learning to see in black and white using a digital camera. Most digital cameras can capture the image in colour but SHOW it to you on your camera's screen in black and white. This allows you to learn how coloured tones under a given light look in black and white. (Look up the word monochrome in your camera's instruction manual for instructions on how to do this). Live view is also fantastic as it shows you how the scene will look in BW even before you click the shutter.

91 – 3 ways to reduce noise in photography | Photography podcast #91 discusses 3 common‚reasons‚we get noise in our photographs and we offer tips on how to beat that noise. For the purposes of this podcast, noise is the appearance of coloured‚specks, ‚monochromatic‚specks or bands/lines that appear in your photographs (often in uniform areas like the sky or in the shadowy parts of the image) that should not be there. This image from OKA Park looks pleasing enough and looking at it here you might not know that the image was underexposed. I boosted the levels in Photoshop so at first glance it looks pretty good. HOWEVER, this 100% crop from the same image reveals the noise (colours in the snow) due to underexposure. TIP - Don't automatically underexpose. Underexpose the scene only when necessary.

90 – Tilt shift lenses for landscape photography – Interview w/ Darwin Wiggett | Photography podcast #90 features an interview with Canadian landscape photographer Darwin Wiggett. It was recorded on a photo tour in the Alberta Rockies led by Darwin. In the interview Darwin discusses why he often uses a tilt shift lens in landscape photography. For those that have never heard of a tilt shift lens, it's a lens that has the ability to tilt and/or shift while attached to your camera. The tilting aspect of the lens allows you to get amazing depth of field (REGARDLESS‚ of aperture) because the lens can tilt in the same direction as the plane of focus. The shift aspect of the lens allows you to correct non parallel lines in camera when photographing a building for example. It also allows for easy panoramas. Darwin is a fabulous teacher so take a listen and it will all make even more sense. We also talk a bit about testing your lenses, resolution, aperture, depth of field and image circles.

87 – Rear curtain sync – front curtain sync in flash photography | Photography podcast #87‚ talks about the difference between rear curtain sync and front curtain sync when using flash with your camera. Basically when using rear curtain sync, the flash fires toward the end of the exposure instead of toward the beginning of the exposure as it normally does. This allows the blur that results from using slow shutter speeds to trail behind the subject where it looks natural. When using slow shutter speeds, you'll generally need to use a tripod. We also go over some basics on combining flash with ambient light.

86 – Inkjet paper review 2 – Museo Silver rag, Portfolio rag – Moab entrada bright | Photography podcast #86 is the second? podcast devoted to high end inkjet papers and it reviews and discusses 3 of them. I LOVE photo papers (traditional and digital) and I just bought a new Epson 3880 inkjet to test inkjet papers with?.and of course make larger prints.?There?s LOADS of creative possibilities when you try new inkjet papers so I hope the review of these 3 papers?is useful to many listeners/readers. All 3 of these papers are highly recommended. Museo Silver rag is a thick (300 GSM) light cream coloured paper with a medium gloss finish and a slight texture. Museo Portfolio rag is a thick (300GSM) matte paper with a cream colour and very slight texture. Moab Entrada 300 bright is a thick (300GSM) double sided matte paper with a white colour and slight texture. Just as an FYI, if i say a paper has a cream colour, others may say on first glance, no it's white. However, take that paper and put it beside something like regular plain white laser paper and the creamy base tone is more apparent. Note as well that the 2 matte papers have optical brighteners in them. I also talk about ICC profiles again. Here is where they go on your computer after you download them.

There's LOADS of creative possibilities when you try new inkjet papers so I hope the review of these 2 papers (German Etching and Fineart Baryta by Hahnemuhle) is useful to many listeners/readers.

84 – Back (rear) button autofocusing | Photography podcast #84 is based on a single comment by Richard from our forum where he mentions rear-button autofocus to aid in sharpness. This technique was developed by Canon about 20 years ago but I first heard of this technique on the MPB podcast (link in shownotes - thx for finding it for me Martin!) about two and a half years ago. Basically this technique REMOVES autofocusing from the shutter release button and assigns it to a button on the back of the camera. Especially when tracking a moving subject, this is a great technique and will likely get you more keepers. It will also STOP your autofocus from tracking things that you don't want it to.

This podcast describes the exercise of photographing whatever you want with the restriction that it must be 20 steps from your door.

82 – Light-painting portraits – Interview with Patrick Rochon | Photography podcast #82 discusses painting with light AKA light painting with master light painterPatrick Rochon. In a nutshell, light painting is (usually) the art of using portable lights like flashlights to 'paint' a subject in a dark environment while the shutter stays open on a tripod during a long exposure. In this podcast Patrick describes and shares some of the tips and tricks he uses to create his amazing light painted portraits. The majority of Patrick's body of work, like the image below is non-digital, was shot on film, and has not been Photoshopped.

81 – Multiple exposure photography | Photography podcast #81 discusses multiple exposure photography. Basically multiple exposure in photography involves getting more than one scene on a frame of film or on a single digital file in camera. Many digital and film cameras can do this but if yours cannot, I briefly describe how to do this using a graphics program (that uses layers) like Photoshop. In this podcast, I use the word serendipity quite a bit. Just in case you're not familiar with it, it means finding/discovering something that you did not expressly seek. It's one of my favourite words in the English language.

79 – Customizing your camera for free | Photography podcast #79 talks about how to customize your camera using the custom settings functions in your camera's menu. There are many, many, many useful ways to customize these settings for the way YOU personally shoot, but many photographers don't use these settings or are afraid to touch these settings. Many features that your camera offers are set to OFF by default, and the only way to access them is by turning their custom function on in the custom menu of your camera. A quick and easy example is high ISO. On my former 30D from Canon, this setting was set to off so my highest normally available ISO was 1600. With one setting change in the custom function menu the highest available ISO becomes 3200.‚ This podcast encourages you to play with similar (and even better) settings in your camera.

78 – Winter photography gear | Photography podcast #78 talks about how to enjoy winter photography. Many photographers avoid shooting in the winter because‚ it's too cold and they feel uncomfortable. What a huge mistake. There are so many spectacular winter scenes to photograph and the cold can be tamed with the right gear. The majority of the podcast is dedicated to how to keep your entire body warm on a cold winter day. We talk about shooting at different levels of coldness including very cold temperatures like -20 degrees C (-4 degrees F) and colder. We also touch on tips like avoiding condensation and preserving battery power. Links /resources mentioned in this podcast: Le Baron - Awesome camping/fishing store in MTL. Great products.

Customer Reviews
He's got it down to a fine art.Professionally done-gift of gab.Witty.
I am so pleasantly surprised to listen to a podcast that reflects the industry through and through.Talented and more importantly the ability to present the content in a not only informantive way but entertaining way.He most definately has the gift of gab-fast talker but repeats important points so you retain them.I've listened to many a photography podcast and along with Digital photography Life this is the only other one at a very high caliber.What a pleasure to listen to.I eagerly await each episode and was proud to find out he is a fellow Canadian.This man is a professional-knows his material and is never to smart to say he doesn't have the answer.You will most certainely not be dissapointed.Thank you Sir for filling the void of photography podcasts worth listening to.
Excellent information
Marko shares with you great information about photography. I have gone through many of the photography Podcasts and this is one of the best. Well worth your time.
Favourite!!
I have tried many different podcasts for digital photograph and this one is by far my favourite! I really like that it's only around 20 minutes versus other photography podcasts, which could last 2 hours!! Marko is funny and professional at the same time so he makes learning fun! Keep up the good work! Definite
