Thanks got the great tips. I’m a teacher in NYC setting up my first studio for an after school program. Your insights on gear were tremendously useful. Looking forward to listening to more. Thanks.

After the podcast, grabbed my golf umbrella, a jacket with inside pockets and recreated the same effect. Fabulous idea for working in the rain hands-free.

I just may have to get an umbrella now. I’d never had a use for one before.

Great podcast, Marko. Love the idea but it would never work here in Halifax, NS. It’s almost always very windy when we get rain Still, I bet there are many that would find this quite useful. People need to get out and get shooting in the rain more often as there are lots of photographic possibilities in the rain.

i like the idea of using smoke in portraits. I;m going to have to try that soon. I like the idea of layers. Thanks for the idea and for these podcasts. I just started listening on the bus and they are great.

Comment on 102 – Layering images with interesting elements by Gale

Gale — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 19:21:48 +0000

Interesting is the key word!!!! Why is it that photographers give as much weight to a bunch of rocks as they do to the beautiful landscape??? This seems to be the trend. Do not what to sound critical but this is something that really bugs me. Gale

really important stuff, it’s not all about the subject in composition you really need to think about what’s “happening” with the scene.

Another great podcast Marko.

What I loved about this episode was it was inspiring. It makes me want to go out of my normal shooting mode and try something new.

Michael has a truly wonderful portfolio and I wanted to thank him for his inspiration and sharing his technique.

Hey Marko! It’s my first time commenting on your site, but I am a long time listener to your podcast. Just wanted to say thanks for your interview with Michael Orton. I am completely smitten with his camera movement work. I actually took an “accidental” photo last year that I liked. I was going to an upstairs window to take a picture of a beautiful sunset. On my way up, I accidentally pressed the shutter release. The shutter speed was set on 1 second (from the prev. night when I was doing some night photography.) I got a shot that turned out pretty cool. I never thought of doing it on purpose! I’m definitely going to experiment with this!

Also, I have to agree with Mathias, you have a really unique, pleasant to listen to voice. As I believe I mentioned when I found you on G+, you always seem so happy & excited to talk photography, it makes for a very enjoyable listening experience! Thanks!

I’ve used camera movement to get some interesting shots, but i never thought about such specific movements like the ones Orton used. Very useful and interesting podcast!

Thanks so much for the comments everyone! Much appreciated.
Mathias, I’m flattered – Thanks for taking the time to write me; it makes producing these photo podcasts even more enjoyable.

Thank you very much for another great podcast episode.

I subscribe to a number of photo podcasts (Tips from the Top Floor, a few german-language ones, PhotoNetCast and the Pro Photography Show) and I’ve got to say the scope, depth and length of the individual episodes is perfect for my attention span and interest!

Love how you’ve picked a (to me) totally new perspective on how to take pictures of landscapes this time. And the fact that you’ve also made it rather hands-on and applicable.

I also need to say that you have a genuinely interesting vocal range that isn’t tiring to listen to at all. Okay, that may be a weird way to provide positive feedback, but I find a good many podcasts go a long way toward the vocal equivalent of fingernails screeching over a blackboard. Yours doesn’t.

So thank you for all that, please keep it up.

Greetings from Germany (land of the plain-spoken feedback),

Mathias

Great podcast! Michael Orton’s images are gorgeous. Years ago I did a general photography course Shai Ginott (www.shaiginott.com). She does similar work but wouldn’t tell us how she used camera movement to create abstract landscapes. Now I’m feeling really inspired!

Marko- great topic for the 100th podcast. It was very interesting. I also agree with Glenn, sometimes we have no choice about the light. it’s better to work with it.

Comment on 100 – Shoot in any light by Glenn Euloth

Glenn Euloth — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 17:44:10 +0000

Marko, this was a wonderful podcast. If I waited until I could get out when the light was nice I’d never get the opportunity to photograph anything.

I often go for a walk at lunch time which gives me a great break from the office but also lets me get out and shoot. It’s quite often the very harsh light of the noon day sun but as you so correctly point out there are lots of subjects that work well in that light and lots of opportunity for shade and shadows.

I agree with the sentiment – just get out and shoot! Great advice!

Photography Art Cafe — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 13:14:14 +0000

Great podcast! I like the mention that it’s fun to break the guidelines once you’ve got them nailed. I love taking still life shots of white objects (e.g. coffee cups, eggs, flowers) on a pure white background. Some of the edges disappear totally and you end up making sense of it by the shadows. V. cool blog.
