I have found two photography related shows on television that I truly enjoy and have learned a great deal from and want to share with my fellows shutterbugs.
The first is a PBS show that shows on Alabama public tv at least four times each week. WILD PHOTO ADVENTURES is hosted by photographer Doug Gardner from South Carolina and features his ventures into the great outdoors to photograph wild life, landscapes and the flora of the region. He works in a number of tips to us shooters during each episode and shows stunning results of the shutter clicks. The best part, he's from the south so he talks like us!
The first opportunity to see each weeks new episode is on Saturday afternoon at 4 pm.
You can find episodes from the last three seasons at www.wildphotoadventures.com.
The second show is on, believe it or not, The Weather Channel! Host Peter Lik takes viewers around the world to find the perfect landscape shots. He produces some of the most unique images I have seen. His show is not so much for the photographer in that the still images don't display his settings or equipment. Best I can tell he uses very expensive large format cameras. He feature then weather in a region and how it affects his photography so it is well worth a shooters time to watch.
He is a native of Australia so, needles to say, he doesn't talk like us! Image the crocodile hunter with a Haselblad! High energy with a lot of arm motions while talking.
This show can be found on the Weather Channel, Thursday evenings at 8 pm Central. Look for FROM THE EDGE WITH PETER LIK. More on Peter Lik can be found at, you guessed it, peterlik.com.
Enjoy and let me know what you think.
