The Martin Bailey Photography Podcast

Today I take you through a document that I recently created just discussing Photography in general from my perspective. If you don't want to read the document, take a listen instead, but I suggest you at least flick through the PDF, as it's quite pretty!

Here's a 'bonus track' that was recorded after the main topics for the Roundtable #2 recorded last week. We got into some gear talk about the new bodies being released from Canon and Nikon among other things. Thanks again to Landon, Holly and Phil. Thanks too for the PDFs that Landon sent me as a supplement to last week's Podcast. I also released these on the RSS Feed, so check them out if you didn't already see this.

I'm joined by Landon Michaelson, Holly Sisson and Phil Peck for this second Roundtable. Details: https://mbp.ac/111

No, not an astronomical photography podcast, today we look at some recent photos of Cosmos flowers shot in a lazy afternoon in Jindai Botanical Park. Many of you will remember the drama with the Japanese Green Woodpecker from Episode 93. Today we return to the same park as autumn sets in here in Tokyo, the weather cools, and the autumn flowers grace us with their yearly presence.
