Paul Schmit - A Nuclear Physicist's Views on Landscape Photography

<p>Welcome to episode 218 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen!</p> <p>This week on the podcast I was joined by a nuclear physicist and night photographer extraordinaire, <a href='https://www.paulschmitphotography.com/'>Paul Schmit</a>.</p> <p>Paul is one of the first people I became aware of using an interesting night photography technique known as <a href='https://milkywayphotographers.com/article/2020/04/24/deepscapes-leave-the-wide-angle-lens-at-home/'>Deepscapes</a>, which we talk about on this week's show. He's also a father of two and is busy working on a way to provide the world with nearly limitless energy through nuclear fusion and so we discuss the interplay of his science life, his family life, and his photography life.</p> <p>Paul and I also discuss:</p> <ul><li>Why he has chosen night photography as his main photography passion.</li> <li>How he captured the International Space Station transiting across the rising sun.</li> <li>How he approaches composition of deep sky objects as related to landscape objects.</li> <li>Why he values a more authentic approach to chasing and capturing the night sky.</li> <li>And HEAPS more!</li> </ul> <p>Here's who Paul recommended for the podcast this week:</p> <ul><li><a href='https://www.scottaspinall.com/'>Scott Aspinall</a>.</li> <li><a href='https://www.shelbydiamondstar.com/'>Marybeth Kiczenski</a>.</li> <li><a href='https://www.nightlightsfilms.com/'>Adrian Mauduit</a>.</li> <li><a href='https://www.jassentodorov.com/photography.html'>Jassen Todorov</a>.</li> <li><a href='https://www.colinsillerud.com/'>Colin Sillerud</a>.</li> </ul> <p>Other items mentioned on the show:</p> <p>1. <a href='https://www.joinclubhouse.com/club/f-stop-collab-listen'>Clubhouse Club</a> for the Podcast.</p> <p>2. <a href='https://naturallandscapeawards.com/'>Natural Landscape Photography Awards</a>.</p> <p>Support the show on <a href='https://www.patreon.com/fstopandlisten'>Patreon.</a></p> <p>I love hearing from the podcast listeners!
