Just a quick email to say that the “Great British Landscapes” website launched at midday today (18th October). We’re staggering the content over the rest of the day but it should all be live by early evening. There are two articles live already, a screencast by Joe Cornish talking about three of his images, discussing why and how they were taken, and also a ‘Letter from Scotland’ written by Richard Childs, talking about a trip into the mountains with ‘changeable’ weather. You can also see a short news item and photos of the session we delivered at the National Media Museum, which should hopefully be available on video soon.
We really hope you enjoy the first issue and look forward to getting more articles and guides from more photographers over the next few months.

Winds of Change, Windows of Opportunity
The first fat raindrops slapped down onto the rocks around me. Above, an angry cloud had swallowed the mountain summit beneath which the mist of heavy rain swept down the ridge in my direction. Cursing the inaccurate weather forecasts I [ read ]

Shooting into the Sun
Introduction from Joe Shooting into the Sun – Introduction by Joe Cornish Almost unbelievably now, it isn’t that long ago since camera and film manufacturers encouraged would-be photographers to take pictures with the sun ‘over the shoulder’. Quite simply (and [ read ]

It must have been rather fab to research this, and it's terrific to encounter artists involved in the genre.
- milouvision, 11:20 16th Junon Camera Survey
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)?
