    136 — Lube up your Old Filters

    Pho­tog­ra­phy pod­cast #136 talks about creating dreamy images by placing Vaseline or petroleum jelly on an old UV filter attached to your lens. By doing this you are often able to create dreamy, impressionistic images. The procedure is simple; take an OLD UV filter (because removing the vaseline from the filter after use might damage its coating) and screw it onto a lens. Then place a wee bit of petroleum jelly (just a bit goes a long way) on your finger and apply it to the front of the UV filter. Take a few images and see what you get. Play with the level and position of the blur by removing some Vaseline or moving it around with your finger. It goes without saying that you need to do this carefully so as not to allow the Vaseline to touch your camera or lens. The Vaseline should only be on the front of the filter. When you're done shooting, remove the filter immediately and place it in a plastic bag. Then clean it (I just used regular dish soap) when you get home. If you have a few wet wipes along with a dry cloth (to thoroughly wipe your finger between moving the vaseline around and touching the shutter release button) and an extra plastic bag or two, you should have no problem doing this.

    135 — Photographers — Get Thee To a Museum

    Pho­tog­ra­phy pod­cast #135 discusses how going to museums to study painters and paintings can improve your photography. After all, both painting and photography are 2D media trying to represent a 3D world. When photographers study the compositional and lighting techniques used by painting masters, their own photographs often improve. Feel free to add to the conversation by leaving a comment or sharing/liking this post in some way. Click the player at the end of this post to listen to (or download) this 15 minute podcast.   When it comes to lighting portraits in photography, painters have been thinking about the lighting for their own subjects many hundreds of years before photography was invented. Photographers can learn so much about lighting by studying the great portrait painters.         When it comes to photographing mountains and other landscapes, photographers often zoom right into them as their first instinct and of course that's a good thing to do for a shot or two, but then what? By studying the compositional techniques of landscape painters, we see that they often include lots of elements that compliment the main focal point in their images.     Links /resources mentioned in this podcast: Outline of painting history Caravaggio Rembrandt A.

    134 — Finding Your Unique Photography style — Interview with Bret Culp

    Pho­tog­ra­phy pod­cast #134 features an interview with Toronto, Ontario fine art photographer Bret Culp. During the interview we talk about finding and developing your own photography or shooting style. Bret offers up some practical tips on how to make this process easier. Feel free to add to the conversation by leaving a comment or sharing/liking this post in some way. Thanks to The Camera Store (The largest camera store in Calgary, Alberta, Canada)  for sponsoring the Photography.ca podcast. Click the player at the end of this post to listen to (or download) the 30ish minute podcast.         Bret shares his own Artist Statement on his Irish portfolio just to give listeners/readers an example on how developing an Artist Statement can focus :) you. Irish Portfolio Artist Statement “The mythic Irish landscape and its people have had a profound impact on one another. The Celts saw the land as a living source of wisdom, beauty and transformative spiritual power. Among the first to believe in the eternal nature of the human spirit they constructed monuments to death, rebirth and the cycles of the seasons and stars. Castles, fortresses and ruins are evidence of untold invasions and conflicts throughout a tumultuous history. These vestiges of the past continue to resonate through the countryside today. Beautifully poignant in the process of decay they tell their own story and possess their own mortality. Nothing that belongs to the earth is ever free from it. The sacred connection between the landscape of Ireland and its people has not disappeared over the centuries.” —Bret Culp Overall Body Of Work Statement “The transitory nature of existence binds everything in the material world. Careful observation reveals the beauty within each fleeting moment.” —Bret Culp Links /resources mentioned in this podcast: Bret Culp's Irish Portfolio Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity by Hugh MacLeod If you liked this podcast and want to review it on Itunes, this link gets you to the main page Please join the Photography.ca fan page on Facebook My Facebook profile - Feel free to "friend" me - please just mention Photography.ca My Twitter page - I will follow you if you follow me - Let's connect - PLEASE email me and tell me who you are in case I don't reciprocate because I think you are a spammer.

    133 — Essential Camera Features — Interview with Royce Howland

    Pho­tog­ra­phy pod­cast #133 features an interview with Canadian fine art photographer Royce Howland. During the interview we discuss what camera features we think are essential. There are loads of extra bells and whistles on cameras these days and even though both Royce and I have kick-butt camera gear, we ignore the majority of the new features and focus on the essentials. We also discuss essential camera modes and touch on essential lenses. Of course feel free to let us know if you feel we missed something essential. Thanks to The Camera Store (The largest camera store in Calgary, Alberta, Canada)  for sponsoring the Photography.ca podcast. Click the player at the end of this post to listen to (or download) the 44ish minute podcast.   Royce wanted to mention something about this image because it relates to a cool feature of some new screens on cameras. "Something we're seeing more commonly, and the Pentax 645Z also has it, is a camera LCD that pops out with tilt or tilt-swivel movements so you can see it from different angles. I think this idea is great..... ...This sea holly bloom and bees were about 18 inches off the ground. I wanted a shooting angle of more or less straight across, rather than steeply downwards or whatever. That would have been very awkward (or even painful!) to shoot through the camera viewfinder, having to contort my neck, back, knees, etc. to work through the viewfinder for any length of time. Even using a normal, non-moving LCD would have been a bit of a challenge to see from above. Instead, I was able to put the camera on a stable tripod, sit on a short 3-legged stool, and pop out the LCD to a comfortable angle that I could see just by looking down. No neck or back strain even though I photographed from the low shooting angle for about an hour."     Links /resources mentioned in this podcast: Royce Howland's Photography / workshops Tours-courses by Marko Kulik If you liked this podcast and want to review it on Itunes, this link gets you to the main page If you are interested in writing for our blog please contact me photography.ca ( A T ) G m ail Dot co m (using standard email formatting) Please join the Photography.ca fan page on Facebook My Facebook profile - Feel free to "friend" me - please just mention Photography.ca My Twitter page - I will follow you if you follow me - Let's connect - PLEASE email me and tell me who you are in case I don't reciprocate because I think you are a spammer.

    131– The Lensbaby Composer Review

    Pho­tog­ra­phy pod­cast #131 reviews a Lensbaby lens. Lensbaby lenses are special in that they have a sweet spot of sharp focus in the center of the lens and blur out toward the edges. In addition to this (and where the magic truly lives), you can actually bend the lens to move that sweet spot of focus around the frame. The particular lens I tested was a 50mm Lensbaby Composer with double glass optic. It's great fun and fairly easy to use though you need to know in advance that it's a manual lens. It will still help you figure out exposure based on your ISO and aperture ring you select, but you'll be going old school and manually focusing this bad-boy. It's worth it though as you can make some really creative in-camera images with this lens. It's a fabulous lens to juice up your creativity.

    130 — The Big Stopper Filter Review

    Pho­tog­ra­phy pod­cast #130 reviews the Big Stopper by Lee filters. The big stopper is a 10 stop glass filter that slows down shutter speeds in order to accentuate movement. Both clouds and water are classic subjects for use with this filter and the resulting photographs tend to be ethereal and dreamy. Aside from reviewing the filter, I offer up 6 tips on how to use it effectively.
