I’m really enjoying this series of podcasts, Martin. I’m one of those listeners who likes the travelogue-style episodes so getting to ride along to South Georgia, Antarctica, and now Namibia has been absolutely fantastic. If this turns into five episodes, all the better! (BTW, love the shot of you leaping up in the middle of Deadvlei!)

Also, I very much appreciate your use of the map to orient your listeners geographically. Very cool.

  That’s good to hear Tim. I like doing these travelogue style episodes too, but just don’t get a chance to do them that often now. I’ll do more when I can though. Thanks for listening!

Martin, for the picture of the boat in the water, did you make use of a graduated filter at all? If so which one? Thank you.

  No John, I didn’t use any filters for that shot. The bottom of the frame is lighter because of the breaking of the waves, that’s all.

    Hi Martin. Thanks for the reply. I also meant to ask you what settings you used for the Shipwreck photograph. I really do enjoy it. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
