Following on from Episode 201 of the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast, I thought I’d post the transcript for Episode 190, in which I gave you ten steps to great long exposure images. So here goes…
Long Exposures can push a photographer and our gear a little out of our comfort zone, but they can also be a lot of fun. In April 2009 I was reminded of this when I did some long exposure photography over at a small harbor town called Ooarai, roughly translated as the Big Wash, in the Ibaraki Prefecture. I’ve been doing a lot of travelogue type podcasts lately though, so today I thought I’d move away from that and do a 10 step guide, but of course, interweave some of my real world example shots to make the points easier to understand.

In Episode 131 of the Audio2u Shutter’s Inc. Podcast, Richard Annable posed the questions “Why do you photograph things? Why are you a photographer?”.
Some of the group’s answers were quite profound, and I do suggest that you put yourself through the ordeal of listening to this mammoth episode yourself to find out what they said. I’ve listened to the whole 3 hours and 10 minutes of it, and although very long, it was pretty enjoyable with a number of “aha” moments. Go listen for yourself after reading this.
Anyway, in my opinion, Richard Annable’s answer to this question was the most profound. Richard said “Because as soon as the camera comes up to my eyes, the noise stops”.
This immediately clicked with me and really got me thinking more about how I feel when I’m actually in the act of photography.
When I look through the camera, [...]

While in Aomori photographing the beautiful Oirase Mountain Stream, I stayed in a hotel at the Towada Lake, which is about 10 to 15 minutes away from the road that runs along the mountain stream that we looked at last week. The Towada Lake is really beautiful when in full Autumnal color, but I was hoping that there’d be some opportunities while I was there, and there were a few, as we’ll see.
Pleasure Boat at Pier
First up, let’s take a look at a pretty dramatic sky that I captured in image number 2317. I took a walk along the shore of the lake with my wife at the end of the first day in the area, before dinner at the hotel. The sun was about an hour from the horizon, but with the mountains, I knew [...]

This is Episode 200!! Yeeeey, wooh!
It’s been almost 4 years now since I started the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast and today marks the 200th episode. I almost can’t believe it. Bear with me as I revel in this for a few minutes, but I want to talk just a little while today before we get into the main topic, and look at some of my shots from a recent trip to the Oirase Mountain Stream in Aomori, Japan.
In the 100th episode, I said that I had no intention of stopping, but believe me, getting to 200 episodes was a lot harder than getting to 100. People sometimes say that they don’t know how I find the time to do what I do, and to be honest, neither do I sometimes! It’s not always obvious, as I keep the [...]

Just a quick post to accompany the 199th Podcast in which we take a look at the three images that received the most votes from their peers in the June 2009 photography assignment, on the theme of Everything in Focus. This was an interesting assignment again, following on from the Nothing in Focus assignment in May. If you want to take a look at all the images submitted, the Everything in Focus album can be found in the assignments section at http://www.mbpgalleries.com.
So, here are the top three images, voted so by your peers:
