Having just finished the Snow Monkey Workshop and Photography Tour, today I'm releasing a very brief update and a recording of some participant comments from the bus as we arrived back in Tokyo. We set off for Hokkaido tomorrow morning, for the Wildlife and Landscape...
Today I'm going to take you through some of the basic operations of the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport. With the preparation for my Snow Monkeys and Hokkaido Workshops, I really didn't have time to prepare for a Podcast this week, but I had planned on talking about my...
Today I’m going to take you through my own personal selection of my top ten images from 2009. I really enjoy going through the exercise of looking back through my last year’s images, and trying to decide which ten really are my favorites.

Because I announced the winners via the Photography Forum last week, we actually are able to include a little behind the scenes type information on the images, as Landon and Marcus, two of the winners, shared their back-stories in the follow up thread on the forum....
Today, in the first Q&A episode for a year, I answer a question from a listener about shooting under a grey sky, and I also go into detail on why I use Manual Mode, especially in challenging exposure situations. The question that I’m going to answer today is from...
