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.

  1. Welcome
  2. Packing
  3. Fleece bags
  4. Weather observations
  5. Shooting the alley
  6. Shooting the bridge
  7. Winding down in the rain
  8. Goodbye

Video supplement:
Images of the packing, Kata bag, neat fleece bags and other practicalities. And of course images from the location.

The Nikonians On Location #22 - Chaotic Collages

Added by martinj | June 16, 2008   10:30 AM

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.

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.
