#85 TAKE YOUR CAMERA & HIT THE ROAD
Travel and an ingeniously creative way to teach landscape photography skills is today's inspiration for an episode about taking to the open road. American photographer and YouTuber Nick Page shares some behind the scenes secrets about the F4 Road Trip, 'a landscape photography course like no other.' Also we talk about being in the wilds and find out what floats Nick's boat when it comes to making pictures in the vast wilds of The States.
I have a really romantic notion about photographic road trips. The open road, camera without a plan, incredible scenery and nobody to answer to.
The last podcast road trip one I took was for The Fujicast podcast (linked below) with Kevin Mullins when we went to shoot some nuptials in Switzerland just before the world went mad this year. Two photographers with hours ahead of us in the car, we recorded our experiences of shooting an event in Europe and staying in an hotel we were sure was lifted straight from a scene in The Shining. We got short with each other in the car, we took wrong turns, I wiped a whole hour’s recording because we ran out of recorder batteries and Kev managed to get a speeding fine, which got sent to my home address! I loved every minute.
And so the open road and travel, is the subject of today’s show. As ever, I’d love your feedback and in particular would really like to hear about any road trips you have made of late photographically to mention on the Friday Photowalk edition.
