A Follow on from Travel Lite
Our golden anniversary and we’re approaching 2013 with a growing sense of excitement. Your feedback on the new design and especially of the PDF version really confirms we’re on the right track. Over the last three weeks we’ve been making more long term plans and having spent a couple of days with David Ward and Joe Cornish in the Lake District we had an opportunity to put some ideas on front of their workshop participants – you’ll here more about the results of that chat in the new year.
This issue we’ve got articles from both Joe and David; the first part of Joe’s trip report from South Africa and a review of Michael Kenna’s exhibition at the Chris Beetles’ Fine Photography gallery. David Tolcher brings the practical half of his Travel Lite article with a walk across the Mont Blanc and Beata Moore is our featured photographer.
More to come over the next few days including an article about judging at camera clubs (from an actual real life judge!), an interview with Paul Mitchell about his participation in the ‘Coast’ book, a couple of book reviews and an editorial about a royal landscape photographer.

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 [...]
