Shadow Colour
Over the last year or so I’ve been looking more and more into the properties of light and how it interacts with surfaces, shadows, etc. Some of my first research, prompted by a workshop with our own David Ward when [ read ]
A Sony Monochrome Sensor?
At the moment if you want to use a dedicated black and white sensor you’ve got the choice of buying an old Kodak DCS camera (in a full 1.2mp or 6mp formats), buying a Leica Monochrom for £5k or a [ read ]
D810 Live View Split Screen
I imagine most of you will have heard that we have a D800 replacement arriving very soon. If you haven’t, the bottom line for landscape photographers is Removed optical low pass filter (the old version still had one but supposedly it [ read ]

Looking Backward to See Forward – Pentax 645D Re-evaluated
The Pentax 645D is a camera that sort of slid quietly onto the photographic stage, metaphorically speaking. First announced as a concept, there were numerous delays before it appeared in 2010 and then it didn’t really grab any headlines. Had [ read ]
Voyage of the Eye – Brett Weston
Recently we’ve been reviewing quite a few ‘new’ books for On Landscape but I’m reminded upon looking at my photography book library that the majority of the books I own are second hand and quite often out of print. These [ read ]
Linhof 3D Tripod Head Review
I have now had a Linhof 3D Micro tripod head for over two years. I had used the Manfrotto geared heads 410 and 405 for at least a decade before this, but had become frustrated with their vulnerability to minor [ read ]
Tim Blogs – Am I still a landscape photographer ?
Whilst wandering around the Patching’s Art Festival last month I was mentioning to my colleague Dav Thomas that I don’t really feel like a landscape photographer at the moment (or any sort of photographer for that matter). It’s true that [ read ]
The Pool – Iain Sarjeant
There’s another book out by our favourite publisher, Triplekite and it’s a rather a beautiful one too. Triplekite are friends on On Landscape and we’ve helped them on occasion with colour management and hopefully marketing. This most recent book is [ read ]
Claudia Muller
Introduction: They say that travel broadens the mind, and we now live in a world where virtual travel lies at our fingertips, and cheap flights mean that we can go abroad to a wider range of destinations more often. Even [ read ]
Book Review – From Shore to Summit
Like many photographers I have a love-hate relationship with geology. Love, because it’s endlessly fascinating and you can’t photograph the British Isles without wondering at the different processes that made it. Hate, because what starts out so simple (Granite, Sandstone, [ read ]
Park Light
I’ll admit that my knowledge of the Irish landscape is quite minimal. I’ve seen a couple of books (including Paul Wakefield’s) but I probably know the US landscape in more detail thanks to the joys of the interwebs and the [ read ]

Kyle McDougall
This issue we’re featuring Canadian photographer Kyle McDougall who has some beautiful imagery of Ontario and it’s surroundings (and more!). If you could also tell us where you live and what you do for a living that would be great. [ read ]
on D810 Live View Split Screen
Interesting stuff Tim. It was the Live View improvements that most interested me too. When I've used a D800 in the past I've always felt its LV function was a poor relation to my Canon 5D3's. The dual window feature is definitely of interest, I often use LV to check my DoF [...]

Valerie, your work continues to grow and become more focused and expressive. You certainly do have a feel for the desert landscape! Best wishes to you. G Dan Mitchell
- G Dan Mitchell, 02:52 30th Junon On Vision… Part 1
Thank you David, absolutely fascinating - I think of you as a sort of photographer philosopher. I don't know if there is any other magazine focussing on landscape photography where you could read such stuff? Looking forward to the next part.
