    David Cobb Photographing Korea

    Join Jack and John as they catch up with one of the friends of the program, David Cobb.  David has been on the program before, however in this episode, they discuss Davids recent trip to South Korea with Sean Bagshaw.  David and Sean spent close to a month traveling around the country photographing everything from high mountain peaks to sea stacks along the coast along with lush bamboo forests and numerous temples around the country.  It is a fascinating conversation understanding Davids motivation for traveling to a country not widely known for its photographic potential and what it took to prepare for such a trip. From Davids bio… As a long-distance hiker, I have sharpened my photographic perspective over the years on the Pacific Crest Trail, the Continental Divide, the Canadian Divide and most recently walking across Iceland. After years of capturing images along the trail and becoming more and more passionate about the art of photography, I took the leap and “quit my day job” to devote myself full time to my photographic work. Now as I photograph throughout the US and around the world, I am continually awed by the broad spectrum of nature’s offerings—from a delicate heliconia flower on the exotic island of Rarotonga to the sweeping Patagonian landscape. My particular fondness for the Pacific Northwest is reflected in my local outdoor shots. My goal is to capture the wonders I see in nature for the enjoyment of all those with an eye for the extraordinary.

    Photography in Bad Weather and Using Contrasts

    Join Jack and John as they delve in to a couple of relevant topics for the Fall and Winter season.  Photographing in bad weather often times presents very good opportunities for great photos.  Dramatic skies, saturated colors, stormy feelings…all is possible when you are out with your camera in inclement weather.  Even in winter, when snow is on the ground, there are a TON of photographic opportunities around.  They talk about what it’s like being out in this weather, plus, encourage you to get out there and shoot.  Plus, John has been focused on the subject of contrasts, either creating photos using contrasting elements, or adding contrast in post-processing.   Listen in as they discuss this topic and why it’s important both creatively and in the digital darkroom.
