Eliot Porter
Master Photographer
Thanks for your patience in waiting for Issue Two – it’s been a great few weeks for the magazine and we’ve been talking to quite a few photographers about articles, interviews and just general suggestions for content. In the meantime, it’s just me and Joe generating content and so we’re a little behind on this issue. The good news is that we have some content ready for Issue Three already.
The format for the location guides is settling down (working out an efficient way of geocoding photographs and the generation and placement of 360 panos has absorbed a lot of time) and we’re including iphone compatible video for our screencasts and interviews.
We also have a few more general features. The first is a combination biography/review of master photographers, our landscape photography peers, and also of contemporary British photographers. The first of these features Eliot Porter, the first great colour landscape photographer, and Neil Bryce, one of my personal favourite photographers and someone who deserves, and rewards, more attention.
So thanks for everyone for helping support the magazine – we’re trying to make this about the landscape photography community to your support, help, ideas, contributions will all be appreciated.

Bole Hill & Padley Gorge, Peak District
Padley Gorge is well know in photography circles, mostly for Burbage Brook, the small stream that flows through the length of this wooded, miniature valley. The brook can be intensely peaty, giving the water a deep browny-red colour which contrasts [ read ]
On Landscape Launch!
As I had mentioned in the news from the previous issue, Joe and I gave a interactive session at the National Media Museum on the 16th of October as part of the Photocamp project. The talk was ostensibly about film [ read ]
High Light – Colin Prior
Colin Prior is one of the the original British landscape photographers. If you had wandered into a Borders or Waterstones at any point in the last decade, his Scotland, the WildPlaces and Highland Wilderness books would probably have kept First [ read ]
What’s up with the Histogram?
First of all – a caveat. This research was done on a Canon 5D Mk II. If there is enough interest in the article, I am happy to continue by looking at Nikon cameras or other Canon cameras where possible. [ read ]
Neil Bryce
For every ‘famous’ photographer that you may hear about through our esteemed photographic press or via ‘exploring’ the photo sharing websites, there are many more who just go about their photographic business with little attention. It should therefore come as [ read ]
Hindsight – Scotland’s Coast
Our Hindsight series continues on with a series of pictures from Scotland’s Coast. As you can imagine, Joe took many more pictures than were included in the book and we’re talking about two of them here. We’re also featuring what [ read ]
Antony Spencer
Antony is a deserving winner of Take a View 2010, his capture of Corfe is original and well seen and his other commended images are, in my opinion, even better (especially the lavendar sunrise shot which is mentioned here). We [ read ]
Eliot Porter
Eliot Porter, born in 1901; the beginning of a century that would transform photography. From the age of 11 he was discovering his surroundings via a camera but his career started in chemistry at Harvard university. He never lost the [ read ]
on Joe Cornish – Reader’s Questions
These interviews and Q&A podcasts are not only very enjoyable in their own right (like listening to a radio discussion), but also excellent to listen to while scanning or post-processing images. Thanks Joe for introducing the two wildlife photographers you mentioned: they produce different but equally inspiring and unusual work. Adam [...]

on Put Your Questions to Hans Strand
Yes, medium format will have a tough future. Though there are still people (including myself) who think it is worth the extra cost to get an extra edge. The difference is more obvious when you make large prints. A one meter wide print from medium format will convince you about [...]

on Samantha Gibbons
Hi Samantha, it was great to see your images and to read how you feel about photography! I like what you say, "how beautiful the landscape around us really is.. It’s almost religious", as I feel almost the same! Your vistas have this subtle but intriguing light but I also like [...]
