Welcome to episode 51. This week I’m going to continue taking a brief look at each episode to date, giving a brief mention of what was discussed and mention one or two of the main points of that Podcast. I won't be covering all the tips and techniques of course, as it...
Fundamentals
Macro Photography Part III – Solutions (Podcast 44)
OK, so this really is going to be the last part in this Macro Photography series for now, although as I said before, I’ll probably follow up with more later as I gain experience in this complex subject. In the first part we touched on some macro terminology and basic...
Macro Photography Part II – Larger than Life (Podcast 43)
As I said in last weeks episode, Macro Photography could never be covered totally in just one or two Podcast episodes. I actually thought at that time I would release two episodes for now and follow up with more later as I gain experience in macro photography and more...
Macro Photography Part I – An Introduction (Podcast 42)
Macro Photography could never be covered totally in just one Podcast episode. I’m currently planning two episodes of which this is the first with a second to follow next week, and still I’m really only going to be able to scratch the surface. The reasons for this are...
Nikko Part I – Waterfalls, Waterfalls… (Podcast 40)
Much of the Nikko area in Tochigi Prefecture, a few hours drive north of Tokyo, is perched high in the mountains, and for obvious reasons, is very close to the Japanese people’s hearts. Nikko is the synergy of Culture and Nature. Next week we’ll be looking more into...
A Few Filter Tips (Podcast 36)

Contrasting (Complimentary) Colours (Podcast 31)
Welcome to this week’s Martin Bailey Photography Podcast. Although including similar colours makes for well balanced images, using contrasting colours can make for dramatic and often pleasing images. We’ll take a look at a colour wheel to find the reasons why some...
Teleconverters and Extension Tubes (Podcast 24)
Welcome to episode 24 of the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast. Last week I talked about using telephoto lenses. Telephoto lenses can be a challenge to use well due to the additional camera shake brought about from the magnification of the lens. Today I’m going to...
Using Telephoto Lenses Successfully (Podcast 23)
Welcome to Episode 23 of the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast. Today I’m going to talk about what actually constitutes a telephoto lens, briefly touch on some general applications, and the difficulties we face when using medium to super-telephoto lenses. I’ll also...
Printing with Profiles (Colour Mgmt II) (Podcast 21)
Welcome to Episode 21 which is the second part of two Colour Management Podcasts. Last week I discussed monitor calibration. You don’t really need to listen to both of these episodes to benefit from either of them, but if you didn’t catch last weeks episode and are...
Composition – Include an Accent (Podcast 16)
Welcome to episode 16 of the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast. This week, I’m going to talk about including an accent or a little something extra in your shots. Before we start though, I want to thank all of those that got involved in the discussion on the forum...
