End frame: Blade of light by Rafael Rojas
The photographer who created this image, Rafael Rojas, is a master at seeing, and takes great pleasure in teaching people how to see and to master the use of photography as a creative tool of personal expression. more
Landscape as Visual Haiku
Most visual haiku images to be found are not linked to words, though there are examples where images have been used as a basis for haiku, or as in the Forms of Japan, existing haiku have been chosen to accompany an image. more
End frame: Taos Gorge, taken in 2007 near Taos, New Mexico by Jack Spencer
It was the fence that confused me. What in the world!? It took me a while to see it as a metaphor. The fence is a guardrail, a human artefact that "protects" us from seeing clearly or even directly interacting with the natural world beyond it. more
End frame: “Wiltshire, October” by Barry Thornton
I thought that all these great photographers are well known, and that it might be interesting to choose someone who is not a public figure. Looking through my photographic books, I decided to choose Barry Thornton. more
End frame: The Snake River. Cauldron Linn, No. 2 Jerome County, 2003 – 2004, Thomas Joshua Cooper
In the summer of 2003, Thomas Joshua Cooper travelled to Shoshone Falls in southern Idaho to photograph where the Snake River had tumbled across a 212 foot precipice more
Topographical Chapel/Capel
With over 6000 chapel/capel sites dotted across the country, it is clear that the religious landscape of Wales was once deeply dependent on a place to worship. more
End Frame: Shell Pocket Twilight by Joe Cornish
While looking through First Light, it also dawned on me that many of the images in the book, especially Shell Pocket Twilight, are much more than just a photograph. more
End frame: Tidal Pool #5 by Marianthi Lainas
When I saw this photograph by Marianthi, my first thought was that I was not sure if I was looking at the sea, but I definitely felt it. more
Into a Forest’s Breath
Most of my projects usually imply very long periods of waiting, and this one was no exception. I am lucky enough to live in a house with a magnificent view over the Portofino promontory. more
End frame: Advendalen by Sandra Bartocha
The ethereal lighting illuminating the mountainside is what immediately draws the viewer into the landscape. This low sunlight radiates a warmth that perfectly complements the cold blues of the arctic tundra. more
Craftsmanship or Intuition
Craftsmanship is a process, not a finish line. It is developed by constantly challenging what you know already to see if you can go further, by unlearning the learned and by being willing to let go of things that might work but no longer express who you are and questioning what you are being told. more
End frame: Quietly – Marin County Hills, CA (Infrared) by Nathan Wirth
Titled “Quietly - Marin County Hills, CA (Infrared)”, this image is a striking example of how black and white photography is more, not less. more
End frame: Arctic Birches at Sunset, Lake Tornetrask by Lizzie Shepherd
What first drew me to Lizzie Shepherd’s Arctic birches at sunset, Lake Tornetrask, were its lovely muted colours. Winter in northern regions is sufficiently devoid of strong colour that we’re tempted to revert to monochrome. more
End frame: PIA19952: The Rich Color Variations of Pluto’ by New Horizons
Picking a photo for Endframe was exquisite torture. There isn’t a photographer I revere above all others. (There are too many to choose from!) Or even one particular favourite ‘go-to’ photo. (Ditto!) And don’t get me started on locations; I could happily wile away an afternoon looking at great landscape images from anywhere on the planet. Thinking about it, I could happily wile away an afternoon looking at great photos on any subject, not just landscapes. Can you see how more
A Little Piece of Eden
Throughout those 25 years and the transition from film to digital, I have found myself coming back again and again to a small reach upstream of the bridge to Shoregill, where the river tumbles over a short series of low, moss-covered, limestone rock steps. more
