In collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Wildlife Refuge System, and Center for Environment and Society at Washington College, Brian Palmer will be teaching a Nature Photography Workshop at Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge on March 30, 2011, from 4:45 PM until dusk. The class will explore camera techniques, location lighting, digital darkroom and post-production applicable to wildlife, landscape and macro nature photography.
This event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required. Space is limited to 18 people. Refreshments provided during the 90-minute classroom period at the Visitor Center. Immediately following, participants head outdoors for hands-on practice. Bring your own camera, snack and water. Presented by the Friends of Eastern Neck and Washington College’s Center for Environment & Society.
Christopher Stokes discuss the decision to bring an inexpensive point-and-shoot camera on a trip to Italy. Brian talks about lens selection and how to determine what you need. For a photo trip to Pittsburgh and Cleveland, Brian rents a Canon 24mm TS-E Tilt Shift lens, and discusses the differences between using it and an inexpensive Lensbaby. See rel time through-the-lens examples of what a Tilt Shift lens can do for you!
Brian Palmer and Christopher Stokes discuss the newly available PocketWizard FlexTT5 RF transceivers (now Nikon compatible). B&H Photo Video claims shipping in 7-14 days from the taping of this show, and is taking orders. This segues into an overview of TTL vs non-TTL lighting, and what the FlexTT5 or MiniTT1 modules can do for your lighting workflow. A listener asks why her 6 year old Nikon point-and-shoot camera produces a better picture than her 3 year old Panasonic point-and-shoot. Brian compares two images she emailed us and gives an overview on camera sensor density’s role in the overall quality of the image.
Co-host Christopher Stokes joins Brian Palmer to showcase the combination of a traditional photography exhibit with an interactive use of QR bar codes which show text and video content for each photo. Photography Exposed Interactive Photography Exhibit is available at the Kohl Gallery on the Washington College campus now through Feb 27th, 2011.
Chris and Brian also talk about the Chesapeake Bay Photographer’s Sailing Adventure, a 4 day photography centric trip Brian led in October with students of the college. The video, which won a MarCom Platinum Award, features images from the 5 students and photos and video shot by Brian.
Brian also mentions an upcoming interview with photographer Tim Babasade. Brian and Tim took two trips to the American south west in 2009 and 2010, and the upcoming podcast episode will talk about specific locations they visited, and also generic trip planning ideas.
I’m excited to announce the opening of the Photography Exposed – Interactive Photography Exhibit, at Kohl Gallery in Chestertown, MD. This exhibit uses a unique approach of providing an interactive multimedia experience by way of QR Code (quick response bar codes) in addition to the name of the artist and title.
Guests can use their iPhone, Android phone, latest gen iPod (with camera), or similar device to scan these QR Codes, and immediately pull up text of the artists description and camera settings, voiceover with video describing the making of the photograph, or in some cases, behind the scenes video or even screen casts showing the event where the photo was made, or any post processing that might have been done in Photoshop to achieve the final result.
The exhibit with 50 photos will remain up through February 27, 2011. The exhibit is just outside the Kohl Gallery in the Gibson Performing Arts Building on the beautiful Washington College campus, located at 300 Washington Ave, Chestertown, MD 21620.
After scanning the QR Code, a video describing the process to create the "mini world" images is shown.
