 Escalante Slot Canyons & a Drone-Assisted Family Rescue! | Ep 88 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:19:52

For the first time, Brendon has taken Photog Adventures through the Slot Canyons in Escalante. Drew and Brendon hit up Spooky Gulch and Peek-a-Boo Slot. Sharing first impressions of the drive there and the challenges of hiking the area and how they definitely brought too much gear along with them on the hikes. They make Aaron jealous as they describe the many arches down there and a spot that would be just amazing for a vertical Milky Way that we definitely have to do before the season is over! Then after all the waxing poetic and romantic about the amazement of the experience, they describe a harrowing experience where a mother and two little kids frantically approaches them as they are leaving the canyon. This mother split up from her parents and daughter trying to find a way out of the canyon with her two little kids but now the parents and daughter have not made it up yet! It had been three hours since they ran out of water and this woman was scared for the real possibility of losing her family to the elements! Between Drew's Drone and the experience of Mountain Goat Hartely, the guys are able to locate the missing half of the family and give Hartley the exact position to go find this family to rescue them and help them out safely. The description doesn't do the story justice, listen to the podcast, it makes you excited to be a part of humanity hearing how everyone grouped their talents together to rescue this family.

 Astro Photog Ep 7 | Introduction to Photographing the Perseid Meteor Shower | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:33:57

Happy Perseids everybody! It is the week of the peak of the annual Perseid Meteor shower. This coming Aug. 11th. 12th and 13th mark the three mornings that will showcase the peak of the Perseids with as many as 50 meteors an hour often more! So how do you get the most out of this opportunity? Today on the Astro Photog Podcast, Aaron goes over advice for those WITH and WITHOUT plans to photograph the meteor shower then ends with a new segment Geek Time in honor of Brendon's Gear Time. In the Astro Primer I give the news most of you already know, it is New Moon week and with that comes great nights EVERY night. The Northern Hemisphere has a vertical Milky Way from the moment full darkness starts up until the Galactic Core sets on you early in the morning. The core sets LONG before the Astronomical Twilight period begins so plan on going out at the beginning of the night. The Southern Hemisphere night begins with the Core high in the sky and then moves into a better position for photography come early morning before the Galactic Core sets beyond the horizon around 4am Perth, Australia time. The highlight of the Astro Primer is the main subject of today's podcast, the Perseid Meteor Shower! One of the year's BEST Meteor Showers is appearing without the moon again and is set to make 2018 a magical time for Meteor Shower photography! The podcast begins with general Meteor viewing tips as given from the EarthSky.org article linked below. The tips are: 1- Find a dark, open sky with as little obstructions that you can get so you can see all the many meteors across the sky 2- Give yourself at least an hour of observing time to see a lot and most importantly, get your eyes adjusted to the darkness of night 3- Know that all meteors all come from a single point in the sky, the radiant 4- Bring a reclining chair and some warm drink of your choice to fully enjoy in massive comfort 5- Be patient! All good things come to those that wait! In the ad today I once again remind and encourage all of you fence sitters thinking about joining us in the Faroe Islands to know that it isn't too late to join us in September! Register your spot here: https://goo.gl/jYZEZd In the second segment I go over tips for your Meteor Shower Photography. The tips are: 1- Wide Angle lens and obviously the largest aperture you have 2- Take a Timelapse and more importantly PRACTICE taking a timelapse before you go out 3- Shutter 30 seconds with 3 seconds interval between each shot for your timelapse settings 4- Battery Grip/Power bank/Goal Zero/Timer to remind you to check your battery. Anything to make sure you capture for hours 5- LOTS of memory card space so you can constantly be capturing so you don't miss a meteor 6- Capture the Foreground during Blue Hour or Light Paint it. Get that Foreground sharp and clean 7- Combine Foreground and your many meteor frames using Photoshop doing your blend of choice Then lastly in our first episode of GEEK TIME I teach the origin of the Perseid Meteor Shower thanks to the Comet Swift-Tuttle and explain the consistency of meteor showers.

 Royce Bair | Live Facebook Q&A with our favorite Milky Way Photography Master Guru! | Ep 85 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:23:18

We get a second opportunity this year to hang out with our favorite Milky Way Photography Master Guru Royce Bair along with all of you who could attend the LIVE Facebook Q&A! It is always a privilege to talk Milky Way Photography with Royce Bair and this hangout was no different! We begin hearing about Royce's recent trip to Palouse Falls doing Milky Way Photography on the dangerous cliff edges there. The challenges dealing with multiple photographers in one location and doing Low-Level Lighting to share with all. Royce also updates us on the situation for low-level lighting in National Parks telling us which parks in the area are allowing it while still not allowing the old tradition of light painting. Then the Q&A starts with awesome fans on our Facebook Live Stream and we go over many topics ranging from best way to bring out the Milky Way core without looking overly processed to which camera body gives us the best smoothest astro shots despite its low megapixel count. Hint it is a Sony! Royce takes some time to teach us his tips for handling stars between tree branches when doing star tracking or stacking photography, how working WITH the moon can be amazing for your photography and reminds us about the Mars Opposition occurring right now.

 Oregon Milky Way Chase | Bandon, Thor's Well, Heceta Head, and Crater Lake | Ep 84 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:09:57

We travel to Oregon and continue the #TheGreatMilkyWayChase. Follow us as we shoot the Milky Way and visit Bandon, Thor’s Well, Cook’s Chasm, the Sprouting Horn, Heceta Head Lighthouse, and Crater Lake National Park. Along for this Photog Adventure was Claudia Halbert and Kirk Keyes. We discuss what a great spot Bandon is for both the sunset and the Milky Way, why Thor’s Well is probably not a great place for the Milky Way, shooting lighthouses at night, and why Crater Lake National Park is one of the best places ever for night photography. Aaron had a rant about the situation of buying gasoline in the State of Oregon. Since you can’t pump your own gas in most of Oregon, you can only refuel during the hours that the gas station is open. On the Interstates and in larger towns, stations can be open 24 hours. But in smaller towns, they will close overnight. And once they close, the station attendant goes home and they turn off the pumps. So, plan that when you come to Oregon to keep your tank full! It’s a several hour long drive to get to Crater Lake from the Mid or South Oregon Coast. It’s an unbelievable place and well worth the trip. Crater Lake is nearly 2000 ft. deep and has some of the purest water in the world. The color of the lake is an amazing shade of blue. And the skies there are some of the best for Milky Way photography. Items Discussed in this Podcast: The following are Amazon Affiliate links.

 #TheGreatMilkyWayChase | Awesome Salt Flats Reflection Selfie & challenges at Red Ledges | Ep 82 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:52:54

In today's episode Aaron and Brendon go back to the Salt Flats for Night 2 and re-discover the Red Ledges area up Price Canyon for Night 5. The Salt Flats in West Utah are just next to the Nevada border, near Wendover. It is a very unique area, super flat surface and when the water puddles up, it can make for some very cool photographs. In Night 2 of the Instagram Milky Way Challenge Brendon & Aaron take the two hour journey out and find the perfect spot to shoot the Milky Way. Join them as they find the perfect balance in capturing the Milky Way with themselves reflecting in the water. Night 5 Aaron & Brendon had plans to shoot the Payson Temple and re-create the shoot Aaron took last year. Well, that plan fell apart as soon as they arrived on location. The Temple had super bright lights installed and the clouds came in and covered the milky way also. So they quickly devised a Plan B and set out towards Price Canyon, less light pollution and maybe, just maybe the high mountains would block some of those clouds. They looked at Photo Pills, and google maps figured there best bet was the Red Ledges area. As luck would have it, the area worked out surprisingly well.

 Dan Bailey | Fujifilm Ambassador & True Adventure Aerial Photographer from Plane over Alaska | Ep 81 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:19:18

We hang out with Adventure Photographer and Fujifilm Ambassador Dan Bailey and in an extended 35-minute first segment we get a passionate and convincing argument why we all should be using the Fuji camera system, what he did to become a Fujifilm ambassador, what makes him an "Adventure Photographer" and then end with tales from his adventure out in Scotland at the Shetland Isles riding a bike through the landscape capturing the whole experience with his Fuji camera on his back.  In the second segment we find ourselves suffering from envy as we hear the incredible details of what it is like being a pilot and owning your own Cessna Airplane in Alaska and getting to take off in the afternoon and travel the skies like we would travel country roads. Dan explains how amazing it is to fly around the mountain peaks with his Fuji in one hand and the other controlling the plane and getting to control the scene by flying around until he gets the light and angles JUST right. What an amazing thing to hear and what a terrible thing to hear. We spent the rest of the night daydreaming about owning our own plane someday and getting the chance to fly 45-minutes from home to an isolated glacier, land and explore the terrain as easily as we could drive down the street to a park and walk around with our cameras. Insane with jealousy is an understatement.  Lastly for Tip of the Week and Gear Time, Dan offers us some great lessons that years of experience has taught him like his method of finding a composition that he calls "Seeing Geometrically" and teaches us how to take advantage of that kind of anticipating the scene to get our best shot possible in action photography. Then if any of you own or are considering getting into the Fuji system, Dan has a great comprehensive eBook on the Fuji X-Series cameras and he explains to us what we can learn from his 250+ page eBook! In the very end, Dan exhorts us all to HAVE FUN in our Photography. Do not be intimidated, it should be a fun time to spend our time and do something creatively. Get out there and have fun!  Follow Dan Bailey at his Instagram @danbaileyphoto or from his website and blog at DanBaileyPhoto.com. Have or want a Fuji X-series camera?

 Jeff Pedersen talks Landscape Photography at White Pockets & why you should NOT go there | Ep 79 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:12:32

White Pockets is a unique area of windswept sandstone near Kanab, UT. The sandstone there is not the typical red rock found in most of the Colorado Plateau – it’s not only white, but also yellow, orange, and even purple in places. And there’s Brainrock! It’s an amazingly interesting place for photographers. Jeff finds White Pocket to be more interesting than even another near-by location, The Wave. And White Pocket has many more locations to shoot than The Wave. The roads that access White Pocket consists of deep sand and patches of sharp rock. Four-wheel drive and high clearance are required. Don’t try this road unless you have experience driving under these conditions AND a vehicle that meets these requirements. Don’t try it with a car or even a RAV4-type vehicle. Don’t take a rental vehicle as you will violate your rental agreement. If you get stuck, towing fees will run about $1000 - $2000! THIS IS A DEMANDING ROAD! Jeff recommends not going alone – bring a buddy or two. Go with someone that knows the road or better yet, an authorized guide. It’s at least 2.5 hours for help to get there if you are stuck or have a medical emergency. Aaron got composition paralysis upon arrival, so he took a few shots with his phone, and then found some locations that the got super excited about. Using the wide-angle distortion of his Tamron 15-30 f/2.8 , Aaron used the leading lines of the wind-blown sandstone to frame up a shot. But the clouds were changing fast as sunset approached… Jeff and Aaron are looking forward to bringing Brendon out there someday – it’s going to be like watching a seven-year old opening presents at Christmas time! If you enjoy this podcast – please leave a review at iTunes, Stitcher, or your favorite source for podcasts. Update from Episode 78 – We talked in about using the Metabones Speed Booster adaptors for Sony – they are for APS-C cameras, and not full frame. The speed boosting feature is not fully compatible with Sony Full Frame cameras – they are supposed to switch the Sony FF cameras into “APS-C Size Capture”. They should work fine with Sony APS-C cameras. Aaron found his Tamron was giving him color fringing on the edges of the frame. He finds this lens works great for Astro, but he wasn’t happy with some of the photos he took with it at White Pocket. Jeff suggested letting the camera convert the image from RAW to JPG by saving them as RAW+JPG when shooting. The camera conversion process Jeff says, in some cases, can make a JPG that sometimes looks better than the RAW, even when humans do the JPG processing. Jeff recommends bringing Sunpie Emergency Traction Mats They can be used to help your vehicle to get out of mud, sand, or snow. They cost about $70 for a pair on Amazon. For a sandy place like White Pocket, two pair of these might be best. Jeff’s final recommendation - If you go to White Pocket for Milky Way shooting, use lots of light when walking around. It’s easy to turn an ankle there so make sure you can see where you’re walking.

 We discuss Rusty Parkhurst's article 9 Tips to take your Landscape Photography to next level | Ep 77 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:47:50

We go LIVE on Facebook for Podcast 77 and have a discussion about Rusty Parkhurst's recent article on https://improvephotography.com/ "9 Tips to take your landscape photography to the next level". In our Landscape Photography, we all get there where we are enjoying our progress and have put in our practice of getting our f-stop right, bracketing like champs exposing for the highlights, composing great images, staying and waiting for good light and going the extra mile in our post-processing but then we hit a plateau. What can you do to get off that plateau and turn your landscape photography up to 11? During the discussion we actually are lucky to have had the delays with the tech when trying to go live for an hour and a half! Because Rusty Parkhurst was able to join us and we got instant feedback and comments from the great guy while going through his article! Listeners and Rusty chime in all the way through this podcast and it was a lot of fun for everyone involved! This is definitely something we would like to do more of in the future!

 Royce Bair | Single Image Milky Way Photography vs. Star Tracking Milky Way Photography | Ep 76 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:06:37

Has Star Tracking made Single Image Milky Way Photography just a waste of time? The answer is NO! With Royce Bair in studio we get some pros and cons of both types of Milky Way Photography and hear from the Master Milky Way Photographer how to best take advantage of our time out there under the stars and get the most out of our images whether or not you do any star tracking. Royce shares with us some post-processing techniques he likes to use to reduce the noise in his single image photography using Nik Collections DFine tool as well as going for the small effort of a mini stack to reduce noise. Royce continues on to talk about his use of a astro-modded camera and the benefits that come from that as well as his rule of thumb he likes to follow for what makes an image an Single Image, Stacked, Blend or Composite. Along with that he gives his thoughts on the ethics of divulging whether someone used a composite to get an image they have shared or sold as a print.
