Before we take a look at the winning images, I wanted to note that since we upped the pace when we shifted to a monthly assignment, more and more I’m announcing the theme of the new assignments in the forum, and once announced, like earlier this month, I sometimes forget to announce the new theme in the Podcast. If you are waiting to hear what the new themes are each month, please do go to the Assignment & Critique forum and look for the announcement.
Also, we’ve been getting good feedback on the back-stories that I read from each of the winners last month, so I’m thinking that we’re going to make that the default moving forward, so the announcement of the winners is also now forum based, but I will mail each winner to alert you to [...]

On Saturday night after I’d had a shower and ready to go to bed, I had a change of heart, and packed my camera and lenses etc. and jumped into the car and drove for four hours from Tokyo to the Urabandai area of Fukushima Prefecture in northern Japan. The autumn colour is setting in, and I wanted to get a few shots in the early hours, so leaving in the morning was not an option.
As I prepared to leave though, I checked the time of the sunrise with my iPhone app Magic Hour, and also noted that there was no moon on Oct 17, 2009, which means good conditions for photographing the stars in the night sky, if it is clear of course.
I arrived in the area at about 3:30AM, and about 40 minutes driving around trying to find a good spot to park and set up my camera. [...]

Many people have asked me to give more details about myself over the four years that I’ve been doing the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast, but I didn’t get around to it until last week. When I spoke with Jack Andrys, the CEO of WebSpy, our sponsor, about having Jack on the show, he had the idea of him interviewing me. It turned into a 2 hour and 20 minute marathon chat, so I split it into two episodes, and this is the second part.
There is going to be no transcript for these two episodes, as they were not scripted, but here are the images that I mentioned, and you can listen to the audio with the player below, or via iTunes as usual.
There were some photos of me as a kid in last week’s blog post, but this week the only photograph I mentioned was my favorite from [...]

Many people have asked me to give more details about myself over the four years that I’ve been doing the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast, but I have never gotten around to it. When I spoke with Jack Andrys, the CEO of WebSpy, our sponsor, about having Jack on the show, he had the idea of him interviewing me. Little did we know that it would turn into a 2 hour and 20 minute marathon chat!
I have split the audio into two parts, with the second part to be released next week, but here is the first part. There is going to be no transcript for these two episodes, as they were not scripted, but here are the images that I mentioned, and you can listen to the audio with the player below, or via iTunes as usual.
This is proof of how important (not) photography was in my house as a [...]

I’m not sure if Canon is using this marketing worldwide, but in Japan, they are calling the 7D the Image Monster! On the same day as the 7D release, Canon also released their new EF 100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM and having tested it both in the field and under more controlled conditions, I’m dubbing it the Bokeh Monster! I have been looking forward to this for the last month or so, since Canon announced it. I ordered mine as soon as I saw the announcement on the Canon Web site, and was one of the first people to get my grubby little mits on one. Due to the simultaneous release of the 7D, the store was pretty crowded with people picking up their gear in what I think are some pretty revolutionary additions to the Canon [...]
