This week you’re going join me on my Snow Monkey Photography Tour and Workshop, from Jan 28th to Jan 30, 2010, as I discuss the trip along with looking at some of my images.
Prefer to listen? There’s an audio player at the bottom of the post.
This year was the first time I added the option to join me for a three day tour to photograph the Snow Monkeys in Nagano Prefecture, before we headed off to Hokkaido. Ten of the 12 people that had signed up for Hokkaido chose to join me for the Snow Monkey leg, and two more people that live locally had signed up just for the Snow Monkey trip, so we maintained our fully booked status and headed off to Nagano on a chartered bus, on the morning of January 28th. It took us the scheduled 4 hours to get over to Nagano, and we stopped [...]

Today we take a look at the results of the January MBP/WebSpy Photography Assignment, on the theme of Square Crop.
Prefer to listen? There’s an audio player at the bottom of the post.
The Square Crop assignment was much more difficult than I had imagined it would be to come up with something compelling, but many of you rose to the occasion, and as usual, posted some incredible images. Let’s look at the three images that amassed the most votes from their peers, as usual, in reverse order.
In third place, we have Super Digital Girl, real name Leslie, with a superb photograph, “Ballerina” (below). Leslie sent me a little information on this photograph, as follows:
This past year I have been working on more documentary style photography so I decided to take a workshop in Connecticut with Elizabeth Opalenik to get in touch with my creative side again. The focus of the workshop [...]

Today I’m going to take you through some of the basic operations of the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport.
With the preparation for my Snow Monkeys and Hokkaido Workshops, I really didn’t have time to prepare for a Podcast this week, but I had planned on talking about my new X-Rite ColorChecker Passport, which I have fallen head over heals in love with! Having prepared screen shots and everything, I figured it was probably going to take longer to prepare an audio Podcast and accompanying blog post with the screenshots, than it would take for me to just create a video and show you it all in real-time.
Here is the video. I’ll try to upload an iTunes and maybe also an iPhone version before I leave for the workshops, but for now, this is it. Don’t forget you can click the little full-screen icon to the right in the toolbar to [...]

Prefer to listen? There’s an audio player at the bottom of the post.
This week we’re going to look at the three winning images from the December 2009 MBP and WebSpy Photography Assignment which was on the theme “Quiet Light”. As usual the standards were very high and the three winning images simply amazing.
We’re going to look at the images in reverse order, starting from third place. Note that I have included the winning images and a few others that the winning photographers provided into the enhanced Podcast audio file, so if you are listening in iTunes or on an iPhone or iPod, you’ll be able to see the images automatically change as we progress. Note too that I update a scores page to see how many votes each person that entered the assignment has amassed, both from the monthly assignments, and for accumulated from the six month assignments [...]

The MBP Roundtable is back, after a two year break! Today I chat with Landon Michaelson and Dan Newcomb on some great photography related topics!
Landon Michaelson is a passionate photographer who enjoys photography, in some way, every day. In Landon’s day job as Lead Designer he gets to do a lot of photo making and uses them in layouts. He also owns Best Kept Secret Photography.
Dan Newcomb, A.K.A. Mr. Nikon in the MBP Forums, is a photo enthusiast from Vancouver, Canada. His day job as a technician in the telecom industry keeps him rather busy but he always makes the time for his photographic passion.
There’s no transcript for today’s Podcast as it was recorded live, but here are some of the photographs mentioned. Listen to the conversation in iTunes or with the audio player linked below.
The next four images are the Before and After images from Jared Fein [...]
