86 – Inkjet paper review 2 – Museo Silver rag, Portfolio rag – Moab entrada bright

Photography podcast #86 is the second  podcast devoted to high end inkjet papers and it reviews and discusses 3 of them. I LOVE photo papers (traditional and digital) and I just bought a new Epson 3880 inkjet to test inkjet papers with….and of course make larger prints. There’s LOADS of creative possibilities when you try new inkjet papers so I hope the review of these 3 papers is useful to many listeners/readers.

All 3 of these papers are highly recommended. Museo Silver rag is a thick (300 GSM) light cream coloured paper with a medium gloss finish and a slight texture. Museo Portfolio rag is a thick (300GSM) matte paper with a cream colour and very slight texture. Moab Entrada 300 bright is a thick (300GSM) double sided matte paper with a white colour and slight texture. Just as an FYI, if i say a paper has a cream colour, others may say on first glance, no it’s white. However, take that paper and put it beside something like regular plain white laser paper and the creamy base tone is more apparent.

Note as well that the 2 matte papers have optical brighteners in them. I also talk about ICC profiles again. Here is where they go on your computer after you download them. MAC= MAC HD > Library > ColorSync > Profiles

85 – Inkjet paper review 1 – German etching – Fine art Baryta by Hahnemuhle

Photography podcast #85 is the first of several podcasts that will review and discuss inkjet papers. Let me say it right now, I LOVE photo papers (traditional and digital) and I just bought a new Epson 3880 inkjet to test inkjet papers with….and of course make larger prints.  There’s LOADS of creative possibilities when you try new inkjet papers so I hope the review of these 2 papers (German Etching and Fineart Baryta by Hahnemuhle) is useful to many listeners/readers. Both papers are Highly recommended. German Etching (310GSM) is a textured matte creamy white paper. Fineart Baryta (325 GSM) is a glossy white paper with an ever so slight texture. Ansel Adams called the print ‘the performance’ and these days there’s tons of paper choices to get your prints to sing.

84 – Back (rear) button autofocusing

Photography podcast #84 is based on a single comment by Richard from our forum where he mentions rear-button autofocus to aid in sharpness. This technique was developed by Canon about 20 years ago but I first heard of this technique on the MPB podcast (link in shownotes – thx for finding it for me Martin!) about two and a half years ago. Basically this technique REMOVES autofocusing from the shutter release button and assigns it to a button on the back of the camera. Especially when tracking a moving subject, this is a great technique and will likely get you more keepers. It will also STOP your autofocus from tracking things that you don’t want it to.

Finger positions for rear button autofocus

Ducks - Even though ducks are entering/exiting the scene, autofocus is not lost on the central duck which I was tracking. The autofocusing cannot 'hunt' for any other duck because I am tracking and locking focus on only 1 duck.

83 – Photography 20 steps from your door

Photography podcast #83 is based on a suggestion by Casil403 (Thanks Casil!) from our forum. This podcast describes the exercise of photographing whatever you want with the restriction that it must be 20 steps from your door. This restriction forces you to “see”  what you are otherwise too busy to see. It’s an excellent exercise that really gets you to zero in on your sense of sight. Feel free to try this exercise for yourself and post the image somewhere and link to it in the comments for all to see. The photos below are images taken within 20 steps of my own door.

82 – Light-painting portraits – Interview with Patrick Rochon

Photography podcast #82 discusses painting with light AKA light painting with master light painter Patrick Rochon.  In a nutshell, light painting is (usually) the art of using portable lights like flashlights to ‘paint’ a subject in a dark environment while the shutter stays open on a tripod during a long exposure. In this podcast Patrick describes and shares some of the tips and tricks he uses to create his amazing light painted portraits. The majority of Patrick’s body of work, like the image below is non-digital, was shot on film, and has not been Photoshopped.

81 – Multiple exposure photography

Photography podcast #81 discusses multiple exposure photography. Basically multiple exposure in photography involves getting more than one scene on a frame of film or on a single digital file in camera. Many digital and film cameras can do this but if yours cannot, I briefly describe how to do this using a graphics program (that uses layers) like Photoshop. In this podcast, I use the word serendipity quite a bit. Just in case you’re not familiar with it, it means finding/discovering something that you did not expressly seek. It’s one of my favourite words in the English language.

79 – Customizing your camera for free

Photography podcast #79 talks about how to customize your camera using the custom settings functions in your camera’s menu. There are many, many, many useful ways to customize these settings for the way YOU personally shoot, but many photographers don’t use these settings or are afraid to touch these settings. Many features that your camera offers are set to OFF by default, and the only way to access them is by turning their custom function on in the custom menu of your camera. A quick and easy example is high ISO. On my former 30D from Canon, this setting was set to off so my highest normally available ISO was 1600. With one setting change in the custom function menu the highest available ISO becomes 3200.  This podcast encourages you to play with similar (and even better) settings in your camera.

78 – Winter photography gear

Photography podcast #78 talks about how to enjoy winter photography. Many photographers avoid shooting in the winter because  it’s too cold and they feel uncomfortable. What a huge mistake. There are so many spectacular winter scenes to photograph and the cold can be tamed with the right gear. The majority of the podcast is dedicated to how to keep your entire body warm on a cold winter day. We talk about shooting at different levels of coldness including very cold temperatures like -20 degrees C (-4 degrees F) and colder. We also touch on tips like avoiding condensation and preserving battery power.

77 – Neutral density filters – Graduated neutral density filters – Interview with D. Wiggett

Photography podcast #77 features an interview with Darwin Wiggett where we talk about neutral density filters and graduated neutral density filters. Darwin explains why we use these filters and how to use these filters effectively. We discuss hard edge versus soft edge, physical versus software filters, we even talk about reverse graduated neutral density filters. For newbie photographers that have just hatched, Darwin goes over polarizing filters as well.

Left - Screw on neutral density filter. Right - The Cokin system

Left - Lake with no filter. Right - Lake with polarizer and-2-stop hard edge grad. Notice how much 'poppier' this shot is. The grad reduces the sky's intensity. The polarizer adds contrast to the clouds in the sky and intensifies its colour. It also removes the water's reflections thus saturating its colours. © Darwin Wiggett

Left - Tire with Polarizer and-2-stop-hard-grad. Right - Tire with a Polarizing filter plus a 2-stop-hard-edge grad and-a 5-stop solid-ND filter. Note the movement of the foreground brush and the softness in the clouds. This was achieved by using the solid ND filter to get a slow shutter speed. © Darwin Wiggett.

The effect of a polarizer on its own. Left - No polarizing filter. Right - The polarizing filter lets you see through the water by eliminating the water's reflectivity. With the reflections removed, the colour is much more saturated. © Darwin Wiggett

76 – Point and shoot cameras – Review of Canon G11

Photography podcast #76 talks about point and shoot cameras and reviews the Canon G11. We talk about the advantages and limitations of point and shoot cameras. We also talk about the most important reason for photographers to get a point and shoot camera and that reason is NOT quality.  Finally I give a quick review of the Canon G11. I recommend this camera but I’m also brutal about its faults.
