Having watched the ad all the way through, I think Canon is now the kit provider.
Never watched it but somebody that hired me once is in it so I might give it a peek I imagine she’ll do well too.
Never heard of it
What is it on and when ?
All seasons on demand just catching up with ones I like look of like Ireland landscapesThink masterchef only for photography instead of cooking this will be season 4, they might have the older seasons still available on Sky catch up? This season starts next Tues, 8pm Sky Arts

sarcasm?
Cool! Maybe we'll shout for her. Season 1 it was easy, there was an Irish girl, last 2 seasons I found it hard to pick a favorite - usually the least bitchy contestant . It was my daughter started me watching it, been trying to get her into photography for ages - she has a passing interest but never really commits. She loves this show though, she loves doing her own mini critiques.
A simple 'no', would have worked but then that doesn't appear to have been the case, given the tone of the words that you chose.I hadn't thought of it as such, but if your ego is that fragile, feel free to be offended.
Thanks for the heads up. I know there’s quite a bit of pretentious nonsense in this program but I do enjoy watching it. I wish I had the opportunity (and confidence) to shoot what they do.I know it is not everybody's favourite but I am pleased that this is coming back in a week or so.
transport the next and so on.
I watched one episode and the judges were all arrogant, pretentious and overly critical so I didn't watch any more. Is it worth watching more??
It is, but agree, all of them are pretentious w****rs, especially the Italian one. The English guy also likes to use lots of clever words. I liked the guy that did well today with the feet but it was not a GREAT pic, some of the bullshot the judges come out with is laughable. Also, I swear that the guest tog liked the photo that was ranked the worst?
I think the right one went home, there was nothing in the photo at all!
Wasn't really understanding all the praise for the foot photo, but i took an instant dislike to the bloke so could be why.
I watched the first part and have seen all previous series. My background is science so I have always found technical aspects of photography easy but struggled with the arty stuff. The competitors of this programme have to master the arty aspects so being good technically may help but no more. I find it fascinating to consider what I would do if I were asked to do a similar project under the pressure and timescales they have. The equipment they have is almost irrelevant and they all have the same. For this first assignment my initial reaction was that I would wish to capture the essence of how important the port of Ostia was to Rome and have read much of the history in the past. However, from the scenes they showed nothing came to mind. Even if I were there I am not sure I could have found a shot to tell the story. I did think the ghost idea by at least one candidate was good and did consider what I would do. As they were constrained to use a single frame, I would have double exposed with a normal street or arena shot and a blurred shot of one of the statues. I would no doubt have needed to experiment as many of the candidates did. It was then interesting to see how they fared given the very difficult task; not necessarily technically difficult but difficult to communicate your idea.
It is always easy to criticise judges but, nevertheless, I agreed with their two top choices. I look forward to challenging myself with the next episode though fortunately I only have to pretend.

We must not be deterred as Leonardo Da Vinci was a first class scientist and artist so skills in both areas must be possible.

Yes, the guest photographer was far too influential in this show.
I think s/he should comment on a photo the contestant picks, advise on post-processing, and maybe help choose between two photos if the contestant really can't decide, but not literally pick one from four or five.
And, yes, pretty painful to see someone come up with a BS story/meaning after they've shot the pic.
Anyway, look forward to next week's...
