During a family visit in March 2008, we did a bit of travelling, visiting Kyoto and Hiroshima. Today we're going to look at a number of images I shot during the few days in Kyoto. I’m sure most of you have experienced trying to photograph while out with friends, so...
In the last episode, we started to look at some photos that I shot during another brief visit to the Madivala market in Bangalore, India last week, which for the sake of those listening to the archives in months or years to come was April, 2008. I’d also visited in...
Last week I was in India for a brief business trip with my day job, and had a wonderful experience in the market that I’d visited in September of 2007, when I shot some great portrait shots that I shared with you in Episodes 105 and 106. This is the first of a two...
I’ve rarely seen an easy to understand explanation of how the aperture and distance to the subject affect the depth-of-field in our images. When I started to think about how I would explain this, I started to understand why, because it wasn’t easy to do this in a...
Although my family were due to arrive the following day, on the morning of March the 20th, which was a holiday here in Japan, and I had the choice of completing the Podcast I had half prepared, or going to the Photo Imaging Expo 2008 at the Tokyo Big Sight, and then...

Today is the third part of a series of Podcasts in which we’re looking at shots from the Hokkaido Workshop/Photography Tour held in January 2008. I was thinking this would be a three part series, but we’re not going to get through all of the remaining images and...
In the last week in January, 2008, I held the first MBP Workshop in Hokkaido, and was joined by five fine gentlemen from four countries, namely the America, Australia, Canada and Norway. Today we’re going to continue tracing our steps together while looking at some...
