Here a link to the site I mention, TrekEarth, conceived and owned by a good friend of mine. http://www.trekearth.com/ If you want to go on a virtual photographic trip around the world, take a look. And here is the site for the exhibition in which five of my images are on display. http://www.lis.trieste.it/ita/museo/mostra.htm It is all in Italian, but you can probably get the idea even if you don't understand the language. If you are interested in the other images I have in this exhibition, take a look here: http://www.martinbaileyphotography.com/thumbnails.php?album=search&search=italy_exhibition_viaggiando_immaginando Here is a link to the MBP Podcast "Link-Back" banners and some sample HTML code. If you have a Web site yourself and wouldn't mind placing one of these graphics in a visible place with a link back to my Web site or Podcast page, that will help to build the listener base and support the Podcast: http://www.martinbaileyphotography.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=719 Please do take 5 minutes to complete the Listener's survey.

In recent years, digital photography has done away with the necessity for some filters, such as daylight filters and warm-up filters etc as most colour correction is now taken care of much more easily by the White Balance feature on our cameras. Check out the Cokin filter systems here http://www.cokin.com/ or here http://www.cokin.co.uk. Here is the discussion I mentioned in which bksecret (Landon) raised some great tips for when using a Polarizer. http://www.martinbaileyphotography.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=684 And here is the topic on protector filters, discussing whether we even need them, and whether or not you should buy the best, or go for the cheapest you can, as these are sometimes a throw away item. http://www.martinbaileyphotography.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=677 I also mentioned using a PL filter to reduce the reflection in water in Podcast # 15. http://www.martinbaileyphotography.com/podcasts.php?dt=ti&ep=015#Ep015 Here's a link to the new Podcast "Light" page I mentioned at the end of this episode.

When we look at photos with eyes in them, our own eyes automatically search them out, and quickly. In this episode we'll take a look at a number of real world examples to reinforce these statements.
