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. If you want to give it a try, I have some free copies to give away to anyone that writes a 5-star review of the podcast over on iTunes. Just write the review and send me a note on your platform of choice.
