Kung Fu & Tai Chi Master Yau -Sun Tong and I were able to talk and I learned through his spiritual words about his extensive travel? throughout the world with his camera in tow. The remote area of Southwest and Northwest China have a special spiritual appeal for him. I'm sure you will agree that his artistry? reflects a depth of rapport with his subjects that produces an intriguing cross-section of Tibetan culture and religious life. Yau believes? the spirit is in the place is foremost; taking the photograph is secondary. So take a moment for you,? and listen to this great interview on the perspectives from Yau-Sun Tong.
Through Phototherapy, we can become better photographers by understanding why we do take certain photo and what is more important is what we do leave out of the photo. So join Peter on a little journey of how everything has change and grow?with Digital Photography today.
Getting out in Wolfville in November I met Allen Myers who was in town for the Devour Film Festival in Wolfville. Allen's film Col Di Rocca was shown, made in Vendemmai Italia. Allen was hanging up his outdoor exhibit which immediately caught my attention! Allen Myers is a unique and talented photographer, film maker, writer and humanitarian. On January 15th, 2006, he made a life changing decision to change something in the world. With a backpack of clothes, a camera and a journal he headed to Turino Italy which was the first of many destinations.
The artistry and vision of his work takes shape as he weaves himself into the communities in which he discovers. He works with, lives with and feels with the peoples he later captures on film and in stories. Nomadsight is a temporary street art instalment of world photography, it moves from city to city and in the manner grows in its collection. Nomasight.com is a photography travel blog about Allen's global adventures.
Supported by the loving people of the earth, these photographs tell the stories.
~ Allen Myers

Welcome to Nikonian- Northern Exposure, with renowned photographer Peter Spence. Peter finds his inspiration, not by other photographers, but from the old masters of the Renaissance and Impressionist period. These old techniques will inspire your photography to a new level of awareness that you never experienced before. Peter will show how the world famous Henri Cartier Bresson applied his painting skills to create his incredible journey into photography.
From studying the art work of Van Gogh, painting on the left, Peter learned to look for the uncommon pictures that he took on the right above. If Peter did not study the historical paintings he would have not been inspired in his photography today. Therefore, this technique (of combining painting and photography which Henri Cartier Bresson was favous for ) has taken Peter to new levels in improving his photography in different ways of inspiration.

Welcome to Peter Spence, host of our newest podcast series Nikonians Northern Exposure. Peter hails from Canada (which gives us a clue to the origin of the podcast series name).
His first podcast is now available for free download in the MP3 format, running just short of 30 minutes.
The first topic covers techniques for improving your image sharpness.
Peter draws on his experience as a workshop leader and a self-confessed “Photo Dad” now teaching his daughter how to take photos. He finds that the best way to teach is to ask his students what they are missing in their photography. Once he learns what the student is seeking to improve, he quickly goes into the “basics” mode.
He likes to urge his students to “take the next step” by turning off the full-auto program features on their cameras.
Regardless of your experience level, Peter’s relaxed style in describing the basics is sure to help improve your photography. Give it a listen today.
At some point in our life, all of us Professional Photographers need to go back to the basic of Photography, sometime we do become too comfortable in our Photography, so we do stop learning .So we need to become uncomfortable and approach the basic of Photography in a different light. Why we should to using prime lens more for better sharpness and composition, instead of just using a Zoom lens for every type of images. Why every photographer from beginners to professional, should be carrying a point-to -shoot Nikon camera with them all the time. Learn to see by listening with your ears and the important of using a tripod.
* Learning about the importance and methods of creating sharper images
* Sharing thoughts with Professional and Portrait Photographer Michael Price
* Being Inspired by the words of Robert Capa

A small intro to the new beast in Nikon's lineup: the whooping 24.5 megapixels Nikon D3x. A camera meant for fashion and studio photographers, but with the flexibility and portability of the DSLR.

The On Location podcast will unfortunately not be out this week. Work and other issues have kept Martin on the heels with regards to photography the past week, and as much as he would love to shoot and record, there simply hasn't been time in the itinerary.
On Location will be back in full force next week. Until then you may enjoy some archived episodes, reading Martin's blog or spend some time cooking up ideas for Martin to cover in the coming episodes. Mail them to him at onlocation@nikonians.org or post them in the Podcast feedback forum.
Show Notes: November 17, 2008
Martin has tried many of the more workflow-centric photo-editing programs, but always winds up doing most of his image work in good old Photoshop. This episode covers a few of his fairly primitive approaches to editing.
This week, the Image Doctors interview Tom Hogarty, Product Manager for Adobe Lightroom 2.0. You'll learn all about Adobe's latest version of Lightroom in this podcast.

The Nikonians On Location #41 - Pragmatic Printing
Seeing your images on print can be very rewarding, and even though many photographers never make prints any more, others say that it ain't a real picture until it's printed.
Show Notes: November 10, 2008
On Location's Martin Joergensen falls somewhere in the category "Is OK with images on a screen, but loves a great print". This week he takes his HP B8850 pigment based A3/13x19" printer through the paces and introduces you to his way of printing - unsophisticated but with great results.

Martin Joergensen is on location at his computer as well as walking the dog in a nearby park, and talks a bit about image storage problems and how to dig out pictures from the archives.
Show Notes: November 04, 2008
He also mentions the fact that he brings his camera almost everywhere and that he gets some decent shots from those random non-shooting trips.

Show Notes: October 27, 2008
Nine photographers and six models got together in a small theater, and On Location's host Martin Joergensen was there to shoot models and try new stuff with flashes.
Martin Joergensen has caught autumn in several ways: outdoors in the withering forest, indoors in the form of leaves on a white background... and in the shape of a cold. So this time he will lead you through a sniffing and nose dripping fall episode of On Location.
Show Notes: October 20, 2008
The episode both covers shooting fall outdoors in your local neighborhood as well as shooting indoors in a makeshift studio, where the aim is to get autumn leaves isolated on a white background.

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.
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.

Literally... Martin has been out fishing these past few days and must regretfully announce that he has concentrated more on scaly creatures than on Nikonians (with good luck he says). Because of this the podcast On Location is cancelled this week, but will be back in full force next Monday.

Nikonian Martin Joergensen packing and getting ready and then shooting a place that he had visited many times before - but never with a camera. It wasn't quite as he remembered.
Show Notes: August 20, 2008
Alleys can provide some really nice subjects - long rows of trees on both sides of a road. But this row wasn't quite as long as it should have been and the traffic was terrible, so getting the calm to shoot it wasn't easy.

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.

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.

Birds are singing and spring finally seems to be here, and that lured me back into nature shooting spring flowers in the sunny forrest.

Show Notes: March 10, 2008
Martin Joergensen spends some time thinking back on his film days and what they still do for his shooting. As he says: his career does after all consist of more than 30 years of film shooting and only 5-or-so years of digital photography. And old skills just don't vanish.
This week, Jason & Rick shoot at the US Air Force Academy, discuss AF fine-tuning, and compare the 24-70 f/2.8 Nikkor with its predecessor, the 28-70 f/2.8 Nikkor.

Getting out in Wolfville in November I met Allen Myers who was in town for the Devour Film Festival in Wolfville. Allen's film Col Di Rocca was shown, made in Vendemmai Italia. Allen was hanging up his outdoor exhibit which immediately caught my attention! Allen Myers is a unique and talented photographer, film maker, writer and humanitarian. On January 15th, 2006, he made a life changing decision to change something in the world. With a backpack of clothes, a camera and a journal he headed to Turino Italy which was the first of many destinations.
The artistry and vision of his work takes shape as he weaves himself into the communities in which he discovers. He works with, lives with and feels with the peoples he later captures on film and in stories. Nomadsight is a temporary street art instalment of world photography, it moves from city to city and in the manner grows in its collection. Nomasight.com is a photography travel blog about Allen's global adventures.
