Episode 55: Today I sit down with award-winning landscape photographer, Cheyne Walls, to chat about:
- How his formal training as a photographer learning both film and digital photography shaped his approach to landscape photography
- Why he uses an ALPA 12 TC camera with a Phase One digital back
- How to use stitched images to create unique perspectives as well as large printable files
- Why he uses a light meter to help him with composition
- What filters he uses to get the exposure he wants in-camera (rather than blending exposures)
- How to be prepared to travel at a moment’s notice to do photography, including being prepared for car camping and/or off-roading (and our shared love affair for Tacomas)
- His goals for his YouTube channel
- The challenges and benefits of connecting with fellow photographers
- How to approach photography competitions
- Some tips on printing
- The pros and cons of running his own gallery
- And much more!
