Photography podcast #100 celebrates our 100th photography podcast and focuses on the tag line of the podcast which is ‘keep on shooting’ in any light.
I’d like to take this moment to thank all our listeners! Your support and encouragement during these past 100 episodes has been awesome. Thanks for all the feedback, all the comments and all the contributions. Special thanks as well to all the guests that have shared their knowledge so freely. More interviews are planned for the future.
In this podcast I offer up tips on how to shoot in any light so long as it suits the subject.
- I shot this image at about 2pm. The light that most of the ducks were resting in was bright and harsh. Had I shot this duck in that direct light, the shadows would have been too harsh. This particular duck though was resting under a shelter that softened the light and the soft light suited this subject far better and holds details in the blacks and the whites. Straight shot — No flash was used here.

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.
thx for the comments guys – and DOH on the goose.
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!
Hey Marko, that’s not a duck, it’s a Canada Goose.
