You’ll probably have noticed that this week’s episode is a little on the late side, and the main reason for this is because I’d received enough email from people interested in the Hokkaido Workshop to make it worthwhile putting some time into actually planning it out...
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...
I spent about two and half hours in a nature research institute on Saturday the 28th of July, 2007, and today we’re going to look at 9 of the 10 images I posted on my Web site from that shoot. I was using a 100mm f2.8 Macro lens, often with a 25mm extension tube, and...
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,...

Today I’m going to illustrate a bit of a drama as it unfolds, as a Japanese Green Woodpecker fledgling dices with death at the hands of a snake, and then is coaxed out of the nest by his mother. I visited the Jindaishokubutsukouen, which I guess translates as the...
Having been asked by a number of people, and also meaning to do this for a while, today I’m going to start a two part Podcast to explain all the major steps in my Digital Workflow from shooting to printing or showing the images on the Web. Today I’m going to cover...
In Dec 2006, I visited India, which I discussed in Episodes 66 to 68. On my way back, as I couldn’t get a flight on to Tokyo I ended up with a day to kill in Bangkok, and so I decided to apply for a visa, and left the airport to explore the city for a while. If you...
There’s always a lot of talk in the forums about how sharp this lens is, how sharp that lens is. Although getting advice from people that already own and are using a particular lens will always be useful and online lens reviews can really help in making up your mind...
This week I’m going to answer a number of questions from listeners, and we start a new service. Not only can you now leave recorded messages and greetings, that I will include in the show intro. Also, thanks to an idea by listener Mojo_Yugen who’s real name is Brian...
