327: Adrien Mauduit - A Guide to Chasing the Aurora Borealis
Monday Jul 24, 2023
Monday Jul 24, 2023
Chasing the Aurora Borealis is a dream for many photographers and a dream come true for those who can successfully do it. Of course, not all of us have the luxury of living in an area where it can be done with relative ease, so when we travel to locations where it is possible, we want to maximize our chances at seeing and photographing incredible solar storms. Today's guest on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, Adrien Mauduit, has become an expert at chasing the Aurora and joined us to talk all about his workflows for maximizing success and fully understanding all of the variables that go into a successful Aurora chase.
On this week's episode, we discuss:
How Adrien got obsessed with photographing and filming the Aurora.
Adrien's Aurora chasing workflow.
Planning trips to photograph the Aurora.
Debunking common myths and misconceptions about the Aurora, including the KP Index.
Running a business solely dedicated to photographing and filming the Aurora.
Advice for young photographers looking to make it in our field.
Adrien's in-depth Aurora chasing course (use the code FSTOPCOLLAB2023 for 10-% off).
Noctilucent clouds and how Adrien works with non-profits to study them.
And a lot more!

307: AI and Photography - A Panel Discussion
Monday Mar 06, 2023
Monday Mar 06, 2023
One of the hottest topics to emerge in 2023 as it relates to landscape photography is the advent of Artificial Intelligence or AI. AI has swept the world by storm and is changing so rapidly that the one-month gap between when I recorded this podcast and when it was released probably saw huge shifts in the capabilities of AI and the challenges that have emerged in the U.S. legal system. AI presents photographers with multiple challenges and opportunities and in this panel discussion on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast, we examine it all in depth.
Meet our panel for AI and Photography:
Arka Chatterjee - a photographer, artist, and intellectual property lawyer.
Diana Nicholette Jeon - a photographer and artist using AI as a tool to make art.
Tim Parkin - Editor of OnLandscape Magazine.
Bruce Couch - a photographer and outspoken critic of AI.
On this week's episode, we cover a lot of ground about AI and Photography:
A comprehensive analysis on how AI image creation works and whether or not AI uses our photographs to make new artwork.
The various types of AI systems, including Generative Adversarial Networks and Stable Diffusion.
Discovering whether or not your photographs have been used to train AI networks.
What excites, frustrates, or angers photographers about the emergence of AI in the photography space.
How photographers can differentiate themselves from AI.
Ethical considerations for using AI image making systems as a photographer.
What makes a photograph a photograph and whether or not an AI generated image constitutes a photograph.
Comprehensive analysis on the legal ramifications of AI and copyright, both relating to the AI creations and the photographs that have been used to generate them.
And a lot more!
