Brendon and Aaron finally get a chance to get back out there with their cameras and celebrate 3-years of doing Milky Way Photography on a 4-Night Trip that of course…didn’t entirely go to plan. Beginning this trip with a cancellation as clouds ruined our chances of getting a Milky Way out at Royce Bair Milky Way Butte, we are forced to make a 5-hour detour drive to Richfield, Utah for a print that was as tall as Aaron! This print was a gift to Canyon Country Lodge out in Escalante and it was huge! Barely fit in the pickup we rented! Knowing time is precious, we take off from Escalante that same night and begin the trek to Moab with only one stop off at an amazing Martian-like landscape. The area is one we have been many times before but we did NOT know about this spot to capture from. We have actually passed the road that leads to it several times and missed out on many opportunities for a great image! Having used our skills in Google Earth scouting and matching terrain from an image up with terrain we are familiar with we discovered its location and worked to get our first image out there. The drive through the night was going to be worth it! We hoped. After sharing a nightmare sleeping condition story, we spend the rest of the podcast on being in Moab and our amazing morning at Island in the sky. Classic what went well and what could have been better, we break down the successes and failures are Island in the Sky and Aaron shares that he may have just captured his second or first best image of all time! As far as Milky Way Photography goes, this image might be his best depending on who you ask. Aaron has his favorite but this new shot is easily his second. It’s amazing how we can capture an amazing portfolio image and not even recognize it until you post-process it! We also go into the merits of extremely long exposures to bring in your landscape foreground. When you hear advice from Royce Bair and Wayne Pinkston, who both have amazing bodies of work in Milky Way Photography, you want to copy them anyway you can to get your own great images. But to this point, I was not doing long exposures for the foreground despite seeing it in their photography and hearing it here on the podcast. But in this circumstance - Island in the Sky - a nice long exposure bringing out all the foreground detail was benefit instead of a way to light up distractions in your composition. Long exposed foregrounds is NOT something you should do in every Milky Way Image. So we talk about our recommendations on when it IS going to work for you. See the Photog Adventure behind the scenes story of the images we captured that morning here on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/dYf9QIaEhbY Watch the Milky Way Wednesday where Aaron breaks down even more details from that trip and shows how he processed the sky panorama and ground panorama stitching them together with Photoshop: https://youtu.be/tqefUkIFBdU

We were LIVE over on Facebook with Jordan Younce last night talking Real Estate Photography for beginners. What you guys need to start doing it now, what you need to consider for getting hired, when to shoot, what you can expect from clients and how you can keep your day job and still look legit to potential clients. Then we talk about Jordan's secret new project that he is really excited about! He used to be PictureMonk, then he was Road to Full Time and now he is doing a new project that is 110% of what he wished he was doing from the very beginning! We only get so many details from him, but one of his pillars is QUALITY over QUANTITY and encourages even Aaron to make changes to how he is doing YouTube. A Photog Adventure Podcast wouldn't be a Photog Adventure Podcast without hearing about a Photog Adventure and Jordan shares a quick harrowing tale from a sunset shoot that left him scared of spiders and breaking public property!

Welcome to Latitude Photography Podcast. The show where we talk about all things related to landscape and travel photography. I’ll be in San Francisco, CA, starting Sunday, April 14, 2019. I’ll plan to do a listener meetup.

With the huge milestone of hitting 100 Podcast Episodes we are joined by most of our Photog Adventure team, the admins from our Facebook group and our hero Jeff Harmon. Through Jeff's generous recommendations to his listeners to follow the Photog Adventures Podcast we went from less than 1000 listens to around 7000 listens in less time! Jeff single-handed put Photog Adventures on the map faster than we were getting it there and we really owe him a lot! We ask the Admins and Jeff about their favorite misadventures these last two years and the story behind their favorite image. Jeff talks about the Create Photography Retreat and shares insight on his presentations and why we all should take a chance on a retreat like this one, especially one like this that is so affordable! Follow Jeff on the Photo Taco podcast over on the Master Photography Podcast Network.

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.

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.

We join listener Dan for a Photog Adventure out to Fifth Water Hot Springs. The blue pools of water and flowing streams were a fantastic Landscape Photography setting! The weather was perfect but the ride on the hard packed snow in fat tire bikes was miserable. We talk about the challenges of using Fat Tire bikes in the wrong situation and the awesome opportunity it was to go out with fellow Photog Adventurer Dan Lindhardt! ANNOUNCEMENT: The Podcast will be released EVERY MONDAY from now on. We have decided to make it a consistent day and so expect a new Photog Adventure Podcast every Monday!

Here at the end of 2016, we look at most of the gear and equipment we used in our Photog Adventures for Landscape Photography and Astrophotography throughout the year and share the PROS and CONS of each piece of equipment. Learn what we liked, what we thought needs an upgrade and wasn't worth having this year. Thanks for following our Adventures this year! Have a Happy 2017 and if you haven't already, make this the year you get out there and have a Photog Adventure of your own!

After work, Brendon and Aaron go out on a last minute Photog Adventure where we travel to an overlook of the Salt Lake Valley. Brendon had found this location a few weeks earlier and we decided it would make an awesome spot for a sunset that evening since a rain storm had just been through. The clouds were great at sunset but it got even better when we decided to stick around and capture light trails from the passing traffic.
