The Pursuit of the ‘Wow’ Factor…
Julian Barkway questions the dominance of the dramatic image
Issue number nine brings a few regular features together and although we don’t have as many articles as some recent issues, I hope the quality makes up for the quantity. The survey results from last issue were very interesting with the majority of people saying that the videos were the prime content and the only real surprise was the lack of interest in book reviews and featured reader articles (although I imagine the featured reader article is of immense interest to the featured reader). We’ve dropped both of those for this issue but they will be making sporadic comebacks and we may change the format of the featured reader in order to profile more people.
What probably isn’t surprising is the interest in composition and even more interest in photograph critiques. We tried to record some critiques last Friday but had some annoying technical glitches so will be trying these again this week so we can include some in the next issue. The other item of interest was ‘printing’ and not just home printing but also recommending printing services for the best results and also how to frame prints. We’ll start a small series on this in the next couple of months.

Were talking to Peter Hyde this issue, a great photographer from Lancashire who has been recommended by a few people as someone we need to talk to. We hope you enjoy the read and Peter’s pictures. In most photographers lives [ read ]
The Pursuit of the ‘Wow’ Factor…
We’ve all seen them on photo-sharing sites: images of grand vistas with strong colours, dramatic perspectives, apocalyptic lighting. We’ve read the comments: “wow, great shot”, “wow, amazing colours”, “stunning composition”, “I’m blown away”, etc., etc., etc. We may have seen [ read ]
on Distant Horizons
It must have been rather fab to research this, and it's terrific to encounter artists involved in the genre.

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)?
