Don and Rick talk about photographing subjects – from snowflake to ants – up close and personal. So if you have a $1,000 macro lens or a smart phone, this episode will give you some insight into this universe, as Don says, “at our feet.”

These two pros also talk about the blending of science and photography, and why it is so very important to understand the subject.

Rick and Don also talk about Don’s forthcoming (and much awaited) book, Macro Photograph – The Universe at Your Feet.

Rick interviewed our friend Katrin Eismann while she was attending and presenting at Adobe MAX 2019 in Los Angeles, CA. Katrin talks about the classes she lead, including Contemporary Mobile Photography, which included street shooting a Lightroom processing.

Katrin also talks about why photographers should attend Adobe MAX – which is mostly comprised of graphic designers. One reason, she says, “It’s good to get inspired by other types of artists, not only photographers.”

If you are interested in mobile photography, Lightroom and photography in general, this podcast is for you.

Several years ago, Rick met Susan Dimock on the sandy beaches of Bandon, Oregon. They became friends immediately – for several reasons: they love photography, love sharing, love teaching and have a great respect for, and protecting, the environment . . . not only for the animals but also for people.

Susan shares some of her photo philosophies and well as some tips on photographing at slow shutter speeds, photographing at aquariums and photographing birds.

Susan also talks about her new projects, which include drawing stories out of the environment and running photo workshop in Oregon.

Quick and to the point, Rick and Larry talk about some of the challenges and ways to get better results when you're shooting in the snow.

Denver-based landscape photographer Joseph Roybal, who Rick met at the recent Out of Oregon conference, is our guest!

Joseph talks about how he makes stunning landscape and seascape photographs – and how you can make them, too.

Specifically, this young and talented photographer shares, among other things, techniques for drawing people into the scene, how to create a you-are-there effect, and how to make (in camera and with post-processing) stunning nighttime images, which includes getting your composition right in daylight hours.
