LensFlare 35 is a photography podcast brought to you by Dave Warner. This week, Dave interviews Landscape Photographer Carl E. Heilman II. Carl has lived in the Adirondacks in upstate New York since 1973 and has been photographing that wilderness landscape since 1975. His passion for spending as much time as possible in some of the wildest regions of the Adirondacks, soon became a lifelong quest to create images that record the essence of a true wilderness experience, and help convey that feeling to others.

When Carl is not in the office or the garden, or traveling to another wilderness region, he can be found paddling the wild Adirondack waters in his lightweight Hornbeck canoe and in winter, snowshoeing or skiing his favorite Adirondack Mountains.

In this episode, Carl talks the Adirondacks, his best photographic moment, landscape photography tips, how to get a perfect images every time with a DSLR, HDR techniques, shooting with the moon in your landscape, panoramas and a lot more. We created a multi-media show of his images with an explanation of each one with the full podcast interview (above) and our typical show player and download, which is below.

Order your copy of "Contemporary Landscape Photography” by Carl E. Heilman II from Amazon, or his latest book - The Landscape Photography Field Guide.

Show Sponsors: ExpoImaging, Inc., onOne Software. Also, podcast network commercials from Rosh Sillars New Media Photographer, Jim Goldstein EXIF and beyond and Martin Bailey Photography.
