The Nikonians On Location #57 - Photograhper's Block

Blocked, bored, uninspired. Martin apologizes for this somewhat depressing podcast about photographer's block and his vague attempts to give advice to others when not even being able to get out of the hole himself.

Click here to download Nikonians On Location Podcast #57 (NPC-OL-2009-03-30; 17:57; MB, MP3 format).

Show Notes: March 30, 2009
But He manages to get a bit of advice over the counter like giving yourself assignments, shooting with shallow depth of field and an tip found on the web: the 100 step challenge. Walk, count steps and every 100, take a picture. You will find this and more tips on Photocritic.org.

Video supplement:
Uncommented pictures from a stale period in Martin's photography life - no speech, wise words or advice - just pictures and music.

The Nikonians On Location #54 - Snow and Models

Talking about two very different subjects: snowy landscapes and model shoots. First a small trip into the winter landscape, some talk about working on the images and then some thoughts on getting hold of models for model shoots.

Click here to download Nikonians On Location Podcast #54 (NPC-OL-2009-02-23; 36:31; 33.5MB, MP3 format).

Show Notes: February 23, 2009
Winter and snow can sometimes be different to shoot, and since we were suddenly attacked by snow and cold weather, I ventured out with my friend Asger to get the first (and hopefully last) shots of snowy landscapes this winter. We also shot some bird photos. But having spent the week getting an appointment with a couple of models for an upcoming shoot, I thought I'd devote some time to that subject too.

The sound file:

  1. A short forest walk
  2. Model thoughts
  3. Working on the images
  4. More model thoughts
  5. Bye

Video supplement:
Some of the winter pictures and some of Asger's bird images, but no models yet.

The Nikonians On Location #53 - Visual Noise

This week I focus on visual noise, which is the kind of clutter that meets the eye when looking in messy garages, on chaotic bulletin boards, at random collections of things.

Click here to download Nikonians On Location Podcast #53 (NPC-OL-2009-02-16; 13:23; 12.3MB, MP3 format).

Show Notes: February 16, 2009
I was introduced to the concept by Erin Fitzsimmons via Chase Jarvis - pictures so chaotic that they are almost beautiful. Chaos on a shelf, a bulletin board, in a garage. It was everywhere once I started looking. Even in my home... well, mostly in my home, unfortunately.

Find Erin Fitzsimmons here and Chase Jarvis here.

Show Notes: January 26, 2009
This program covers the theory and shooting side of HDR, and the next episode will focus on the software side - combining and post processing bracketed series and HDR-images. Before the next time you might want to get a hold of an HDR-program. Martin will mention Photomatix and Picturenaut, but there are many other programs out there, which can do the job. More on that next time.

The sound file:

  1. (High) Dynamic Range
  2. Setting up the camera
  3. First shots
  4. Outdoors
  5. Bye

Video supplement:
The first examples of bracketed shots and the combination of them into tone mapped HDR-images. We see both some natural looking pictures as well as some more typical cartoonish HDR's.

The Nikonians On Location #37 - Windsurfing

On Locatin's Martin Joergensen had the chance to shoot windsurfers at a championship in Denmark. The day was a bit dull, but good images were caught anyway - and a few lessons on high speed sailing were learned.

Video supplement available here (NPC-OLV-2008-10-13; 7:02; flash format).

Show Notes: October 13, 2008
One thing not mentioned in the podcast or slide show is: be prepared for saltwater! When the wind is good for surfing, you have waves and spray coming over you constantly, and your gear will get wet. That's the price you pay for getting close to the action.

The sound file:

  1. Welcome
  2. Gear used
  3. Bumpy ride
  4. Missing the laptop
  5. Back home
  6. Winding down

Video supplement:
A selection of today's images - on the water as well as on dry land.

When shooting many images in the same place you often stumble over a certain theme and start finding similar subjects. Martin Joergensen found a lot of patterns during his recent trip to Berlin, and covers the selection of these images from his 1400-or-so images from the trip.

The sound file:

  1. Intro - summer heat
  2. Organizing and selecting
  3. Opening and assessing images
  4. Goodbye

Video supplement:
A selection of the Berlin Pattern images - Holocaust Denkmal, Neue Palais, KaDeWe and seats in Olympia Stadion - lots of seats.

The Nikonians On Location #25 - Black Background

Inspired by some pictures in a magazine Martin takes on creating a dark mood in a small makeshift, tabletop studio using black background paper and a couple of flashes. He shoots dry flowers and leaves and plays with different subjects once the light is set up.

The Nikonians On Location #22 - Chaotic Collages

This time Martin is sticking a lot of individual images together to form collages. He covers the way of shooting them and how to create controlled chaos in the result.

Click here to download Nikonians On Location Podcast #22 (NPC-OL-2008-06-16; 21:36; 10.1MB, MP3 format).
Video supplement available here (NPC-OLV-2008-06-16; 6:30; flash format).

Show Notes: June 16, 2008
Inspired by Heather Champ of flickr and David Hockney, a British pop artist, we this time venture into a more arty way of taking and working on pictures. By shooting panoramic-like, but without the meticulous control that's used in normal panoramas, we get a dozen or so images that can be arranged into a chaotic collage.

Video supplement:
This week's slideshow shows a few examples of the finished collages and follows the creation of a couple too.

The Nikonians On Location #14

A walk in a spring forrest with a lot of small flowers, budding trees and great weather - and shooting at lowest possible aperture only.

Click here to download Nikonians On Location Podcast #14 (NPC-OL-2008-04-14; 21.17; 9.75MB, MP3 format).
Video supplement available here (NPC-OLV-2008-04-14; 10:39; flash format).

Show Notes: April 14, 2008
Birds are singing and spring finally seems to be here, and that lured me back into nature shooting spring flowers in the sunny forrest. The drill was to shoot wide open - at lowest aperture only, f2.8 and f1.8 plus a few at f4 (10-20mm Sigma and 70-200 with a 1.7 extender). The music for this episode is a guitar duo, Duo Chambure, with Petite Camusete by Adriano Willaert. Published by Magnatune.

The sound file:
00:10 Intro
01:25 Low aperture
02:40 Controlling aperture
05:02 On hands and knees
08:25 Wild forrest
12:30 Wide angle
15:00 Really low
15:40 70-200 and extender
18:10 Goodbye

Video supplement:
A small commented slideshow with examples from the shallow DOF spring forrest shoot covered in the podcast.
