David Cobb - Photographing Japanese Gardens and Landscape Photography on through-hikes

Welcome to Episode 117 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast. This week features an absolute legend in the landscape photography business - David Cobb. David is a photographer living in Oregon and is a founding member of the Photo Cascadia Team.David and I covered a lot of fun ground this week, including: His journey as a landscape photographer. Photographing Japanese Gardens (and David's book on it). Long distance through-hiking as a landscape photographer. Photo location sharing and David's excellent blog post about it. The role of the workshop leader. Over on Patreon, David and I talk about the origins and vision for Photo Cascadia. Before we get to the show, I wanted to tell you again about one of our Patrons of the podcast - Anton Averin. Anton has developed a luminosity masking panel that is very solid, and a lot more affordable than most others on the market.
