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 [...]

Today I’m going to take you through my own personal selection of my top ten images from 2009. I really enjoy going through the exercise of looking back through my last year’s images, and trying to decide which ten really are my favorites. It gives you a view of your progression, and when I compare this to my list from 2008, I certainly feel happier with this year’s work.

On November 28, I visited one of my favourite parks here in Tokyo, Jindai Botanical Gardens, to shoot the beautiful autumn color that they have as a result of some strategically planted Japanese maple or Kaede trees. While I was shooting the below scene, I realized that a small crowd of photographers had gathered behind me, and they were vying for position to shoot the same scene. This is not uncommon, but it got me thinking that I had found a particular spot where everything works, that had not been obvious to others photographing in the same location, so I figured I’d talk about this a little today.
Colour Collaboration
First let’s look at one of the resulting images from this shoot, which is image number 2417. I love this image. It was one of those “hair [...]

Today it gives me great pleasure to announce the winners of the first MBP/WebSpy Photography Assignment accumulated vote winners for the last six month’s assignments. As you know, when our sponsors WebSpy came on board in July 2009, they kindly set by $1,000 for prizes for our assignment, and I arranged some great prizes for the three people with the most votes from your peers in the six assignments from July to November. So today, we not only hear who the November assignment winners are, we find out who takes the amazing prizes that we have lined up.
Also, WebSpy have kindly offered to continue to be our sponsors, and have put up another $1,000 for prizes for the next six months of assignments, so today I will also announce the prizes that will be given to the lucky [...]
