Camera Survey
Just over a month ago we asked our readers to tell us what cameras they used for their landscape photography and we had a great response. We’ve spent a bit of time analysing the results (my programming skills come in [ read ]
Iceland
There is a prevailing sense that Iceland has been ‘over-exposed’ in recent months and I may well have been guilty of jumping on that particular bandwagon when I booked a workshop there at the end of February (led by David [ read ]
The Spring
The spring has somehow been avoiding us this year. The gloomy weather has been haunting us for a few months now. So I have made the most out of those few days of sunshine that we have had so far [ read ]
Imaginary Departures
These four photos, taken at different times, and different, but similar, places in Svalbard, Iceland and Antarctica bring to me the idea of a departure to an unknown, unseen destination. I also find in them the idea of a temporary [ read ]
Accidental Artists
I often find myself when I’m reviewing images saying things like “you know, that looks a bit like ….” I’m sure that I’m not unique in this and, in my case, it probably betrays a life-long frustration at my inability [ read ]
Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act & Orphan Works
The government in its infinite wisdom have recently applied for and receive royal assent for the “Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act” which amongst other things has a couple of items that have a significant impact for photographers. The first is [ read ]
Catherine Sales
Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? I have always enjoyed photography especially at a young age on holiday using my compact camera to take photos of anything that inspired [ read ]
Morning in Kimmeridge Bay
The British coastline has so much to offer that we are really spoilt for choice. I know Kimmeridge Bay is one of the most photographed and popular locations in England. However I still wanted to experience it myself. All these [ read ]
Metropolitan Trees
As someone who regularly travels to cities across the world, I enjoy the way trees and the buildings that make up our cities co-exist. In this set, three images are from London and one from New York and I like [ read ]
Letters on the land
I’ve been subconsciously drawn to recognisable patterns on the land for some time now. These images span two years – over half my photographic ‘career’ – and it took me some considerable part of that to recognise that I was [ read ]
Tufa Cascades of the French Jura
Picking a theme that is not geographically based is, I feel, a near impossibility with landscape photography – geography is our stock-in-trade, after all! So I decided to concentrate on the two similar tufa formations to be found within 50km [ read ]
Johsel Namkung – A Retrospective
I received an email from a publisher, Dick Busher of Cosgrove Editions, asking whether I would be interested in a book that he was publishing about a wonderful photographer ‘Johsel Namkung’. Having not heard of the photographer before I made [ read ]
Sebastião Salgado – Genesis
“Genesis is a journey to the landscapes, seascapes, animals and peoples that have so far escaped the long reach of today’s world” [extract from introductory panel]. April 11 – September 8 2013 The early morning media preview of Sebastião Salgado’s [ read ]
David Langan
David Langan has been a reader for some time and won one of our early competitions to win an Olympus camera. He’s also published a book on his local City of Aberdeen. We’re also pleased that he’s updated his website [ read ]
Photographically Speaking: A Deeper Look at Creating Stronger Images
Photographically Speaking is a book by the Canadian based photographer David duChemin, to get some of the practical info out of the way first: It’s 272 pages long and is available in paperback or kindle format and published by New [ read ]
on Distant Horizons
It must have been rather fab to research this, and it's terrific to encounter artists involved in the genre.

It might be interesting to see how the votes would stack if you asked in three months to repeat the survey, I for one missed the original request. It's a very interesting survey and nice to see that Pentax still have such a large following, likewise the medium and large format categories, [...]

on Is Adobe Creative Cloud Bad For Photographers?
Great article Paul! I hope Adobe will continue to develop Photoshop with new features for photographers. I would love some new adjustment layers, how about midtone contrast (a.k.a clarity)?
