Posted at 17:46h, 24 NovemberIt feels like a real return to the old style posts where you take us with you on a visit to somewhere in Japan, and work through your thought process when shooting and post processing.
I loved this post! Great shots, a really enjoyable read. Thanks Martin!

I’m pleased you enjoyed this. I was conscious of this going back to my old style a little as I put this together, so I’m pleased that worked for you. 🙂
Cheers,

Posted at 00:58h, 02 DecemberMartin, i m an amateur photographer and just downloaded and listened to podcast #437 and decided to look you up on google plus and made my way over to your website. Im travelling right now but will check out some of your other podcast later as you have some great information in your podcast – i wish it was a video though. Great article and story above and love the pictures and your ideas. I’d love to get your feedback on some of my work on google+ https://plus.google.com/+miketaylor99

Posted at 16:36h, 05 DecemberHi Michael, thanks for stopping by.
Did you try the Enhanced Podcast format? Although this is broken by Apple right now (iOS8) usually you can view the images on your iPhone/iPad or iTunes as I progress through the Podcast. It’s like audio, but with the images.
I hope this helps!

Posted at 04:07h, 10 DecemberHi Martin, no I have not, but i will check it out. I typically download on my zune player from the zune software when i’m travelling and listen on the airplane ride, i also have a kindle fire, is it better to download directly from your website?

Posted at 17:45h, 10 DecemberAah, if you don’t use the Apple Podcasts app on an iPhone or iPad you won’t see the photos anyway I’m afraid. It’s pretty Apple specific.
