Aspect Ratios – Part 1
Discussion on aspect ratios
A bumper issue for you this month as we have contributions from many photographers. I’ve been working on the website to make it a bit easier to read and that seems to have made a big difference and a few websites have started to link to us. Landscape Photography is all about getting out and about in the landscape though and we’ve been pleased to read that a few of you have been browsing the website whilst waiting for the light! Thanks again for the great support – subscriptions are still coming in and each one helps give me more time to create and solicit content.

Lake District, Mountain Landscape – Alistair Lee
Alistair Lee is primarily a climber but has been carrying a camera since his early outings and with this his fourth book (Eyes Up was his first followed by Forgotten Landsacpe and then Pendle Hill) he has concentrated wholly on [ read ]
Jan Tove
Jan Tove is a bit of an enigma in the UK; A photographer of no small talent who has inspired a great many more people than his British profile would suggest. Born in 1958 (approx 52 yrs old as of [ read ]
Landscape Beyond – David Ward
Beauty pains and when it pained most, I shot. Ernst Haas A debate almost as old as photography is whether we take or make photographs. I’ve always felt strongly that we make images, that it is a creative act. [ read ]
David Clapp
David Clapp, TIm Parkin and Dav Thomas met up in the Peak District just as Great British Landscapes was being formulated. That first interview had a couple of problems (the Canon 5Dmk2 only recorded 12minutes at a time and the [ read ]
Where have the Berries gone?
Picture at 100% digital but increased to 200% in order to show the differences (see below for more details).. Here is the 100% only version I’m not one to engage in the film vs digital debate from a ‘religious’ point [ read ]
Reflections on Autumn
Autumn has finally come to an end here in Argyll. As I write this article sleet and rain lashes against the window and strong winds strip away the remaining colour from the trees, the leaves giving up their tenuous grip [ read ]
A Skye Log
It’s an obsession, I admit it, even the giants of Torridon and the beautiful mountains of the far North West can’t drag me away from the Isle of Skye. This beautiful island keeps calling me back to visit and I [ read ]
Creativity in Landscape Photography
“In all things we describe we merely describe ourselves” Voltaire. We all ask profound questions about life from time to time from “why is there suffering in the world?” to “why do I have to die?” They are deep and [ read ]
Aspect Ratios – Part 1
For photographers of a certain (ahem) age, the aspect ratio of 35mm film, 24mm x 36mm (ie 2×3), was fed to us like mother’s milk. While there were alternatives, we tended to develop the assumption that 2×3 was the best [ 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 [...]
