In Depth (of field)
More on depth of field
It’s been a bit megapixel madeness in the news these last few weeks, what with the D800 exciting journalists left, right and centre. However, we wanted to get a take on the camera from the point of view of a working landscape photographer to see just how it works in the field. Andrew Nadolski had an early purchase and has been using the camera these last couple of weeks and is waiting to answer any questions you have about it. Another new device on the ‘streets’ is the new resolutionary iPad with it’s retina display, supposedly designed so that owls can use facetime to spot mice without having to get out of their tree (supposedly). We’ve taken a look and compared it with the old iPad and against a reference monitor to see how it stacks up. Depth of field is a big issue for landscape photographers and we’ve written a fairly comprehensive overview this issue to be followed by in depth articles about each aspect in future issues. Jon Brock has also let us include an extract of his self published Blurb book with a few photographs and in a double special David Langan shows his latest project on the ‘Dark Beach’ and also shows us what he got up to with that SLR he won a few months back.

Challenge Yourself!
If, like me, you spend time on photo-sharing websites, both sharing your own work and viewing what others are getting up to, you will doubtless be aware of the dangers of getting too comfortable – complacent, even. Once you get to [ read ]
Northwest Beginnings
This issue we ventured out to an exhibition in the 1066 gallery in Baldock nr Hitchin where Julian Calverley has been exhibiting his photographs of Scotland under the title Northwest Beginnings. We had a chance to record a conversation with [ read ]
In Depth (of field)
Our last article on depth of field took an overview of all of the ‘techniques’. This article is the first one to look into depth of field in depth but don’t worry, we’ll also break out now and again to [ read ]

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)?
