Wow! What a busy few weeks I’ve had. Sorry being a few days late, but welcome to the 150th episode of the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast. I would have liked to have done something special for this milestone show, but I have been so busy lately that it just isn’t...
So, this week, we wrap up our three part virtual tour of Yachiho Kougen, or the Yachiho Highlands, in the Nagano Prefecture, a couple of hundred kilometers north-west of Tokyo. Before we get into the main topics today, and take a look at some photos of the Big Falls,...
Following on from last week, today we continue to trace my steps from a recent trip to the Yachiho Highlands as I share some of the images I brought back with me, intermingling tips on decisions I made while photographing the area. As I mentioned last week, some of...

Today I’m going to talk a little about shooting through glass. This has been brought up a few times, and I have actually spoken about this in other Podcasts, like the ones from Chester Zoo in the UK and in my Podcasts in September 2007 when I shot a few images from a...
Happy New Year to everyone. That was me all excited about my photographic experience and experiments with the 1Ds Mark III, on my way back to the car from the Tatsusawa Falls. There were a few things that I found interesting on closer inspection of my resulting...
