Today I’m going to announce the winners of our Documentary/Photojournalism Assignment and kickoff the new assignment with the theme of Fire. I’d like to thank Phil Peck from Bayview, USA for this assignment theme. We have a thread going on the MBP Forum where we have...
Many of you will remember the drama with the Japanese Green Woodpecker from Episode 93 of this Podcast. Today we return to the same park as autumn sets in here in Tokyo, the weather cools, and the autumn flowers grace us with their yearly presence. As I’ve mentioned...
Today is the second part of a two part series in which we’ve discussed shots from a brief trip to India in September 2007. I was literally there for just three days, and didn’t expect to get much free time, but I was hoping to get some shots while there, so I took...
In September 2007 I was lucky enough to go for a brief business trip to Bangalore, India. I was literally going to be in there for just three full days, and didn’t expect to get much free time, but I was hoping to get some shots while there, so I took with me my Canon...
Having done a few pretty long and intense episodes recently, today we’re going to take it a little easy, and I’m going to talk about a number of images that I've uploaded since our last Single Exposures episode. Before we go on, I wanted to say a quick thanks to all...

Well, its official -- this is our 100th episode! Bear with me while we work through a much longer than usual intro, but this is amazing! Thanks so much for the messages Forrest, Keith and Phil. I really appreciate that. I haven’t really prepared anything special for...
As most of you know, over the last few weeks, in addition to keeping up my day job, I’ve been busy with a server transition. What I’ve been trying not to have to tell you is that I’m also going to a kind of night school at Graduate School doing a Finance course, all...
Last Saturday I finally tried using the sensor swabs that have been sitting in their little sterile bags for the last few years, along with a bottle of cleaning fluid. To cut a long story short, I used up $80 worth of swabs, and still had a dirty sensor, so I took a...
I spent about two and half hours in a nature research institute on Saturday the 28th of July, 2007, and today we’re going to look at 9 of the 10 images I posted on my Web site from that shoot. I was using a 100mm f2.8 Macro lens, often with a 25mm extension tube, and...
