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...
So welcome to Episode 102 of the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast, and today we have a special treat for you. I’m joined by three prominent members of the MBP community, and of course amazing photographers, Landon Michaelson... Forrest Tanaka... and Even Solberg....
I bought a new lens recently, namely the EF85mm F1.2L II USM from Canon, and when I paid the guy in the shop said you can bring it back for up to two weeks if you find anything wrong with it. So I thought I’d do a few tests to make sure it lives up to my expectations...
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...
Today I’m going to talk about a bit of luck I had on what was really not much more than a reconnaissance visit to a park and look at a few of the images that my luck resulted in. If you’ve already listened to the Photocast Network’s Focus Ring podcast, episode 7,...

Last Saturday, which was April the 14th, 2007 for those of you that will be catching up on the archive later, I visited the Hitachi (Seaside) Park in the Ibaraki Prefecture, about 90 minutes from my home in Tokyo. Now, before you start thinking that the Japanese...
Today I’m going to answer another listener’s question about how to figure out which lenses to buy, that I received as a text message. In fact I had pretty much the same question from Eric Wikander and Jared Fein, and I’ve been asked this a number of times from others...
Today I’m going to answer a question that I received by mail from Listener John Grant about what in a scene I choose to meter from for optimum exposure. John asks, “Would you discuss exposure and how to get the best possible, from what to look for in the scene and...
Last week we started this two part series in which we’re looking at a number of shots from a visit to Chester Zoo during my visit to the UK in January and February of 2007. Today I’ve selected another eight photos from that afternoon to talk about, interweaving some...
