Ideal Exposure in the Winter Wonderland

by Martin Bailey | Jan 11, 2012 | Announcement, Promotion, Workshops

Here are the two images that I talk about in Chris Marquardt’s Tips From the Top Floor Podcast this week. I talked about techniques I use and teach on my Snow Monkeys & Hokkaido Photography Tour and Workshop, to control exposure and ensure you capture beautiful whites, and blacks full of texture, regardless of the brightness or color of the background. My technique also enables you to switch between both scenes instantly without messing around with Exposure Compensation. Take a listen to learn a few simple but effective tricks.

Here’s the Tips From the Top Floor episode in which I appeared.

Podcast 307 : New 2012 Snow Monkey and Hokkaido Winter Wildlife Wonderland Tours

by Martin Bailey | Nov 9, 2011 | Announcement, Podcast, Workshops

This is actually Chris Marquardt’s Tips from the Top Floor, episode 524. Today basically I inserted a thirty minute chat between Chris and I as we’ve teamed up to bring you two new Snow Monkey and Hokkaido Winter Wildlife Wonderland Tours. I’ve recently asked Chris to run my German version of this tour, and we have also added a new tour before that, which both Chris and I will run together.

The first tour with both Chris and I will be from January 23rd to February the 3rd, then the German Tour will be from February 6th to the 17th. Details of both can be found on my Tour & Workshops page.

My original tour is unchanged from Feb 13th to the 24th, and this has now reached the numbers required to make it happen, but there are a few spaces left, so there are plenty of options here. If you want to join us, and one doesn’t match your schedule, hopefully the other will work for you.

I will be releasing another Podcast this week, so please forgive this shameless promotion, and if you already listened to this on the Tips from the Top Floor Podcast, you can skip this episode. You and I will catch up again for the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast, probably tomorrow (Nov 10, 2011). I’m hoping to walk you through Nik Software’s Color Efex Pro 4.

Listen here:

And here are a few examples of the sort of images we shoot on these Winter Wildlife Wonderland Tour and Workshops.

Oh, and if you’d like to be kept up to date on this and other tours, like the amazing Southern New Zealand Photo Adventure I’ve just released details of, please sign up for my newsletter.
