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, [...]

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)?

Michael Kenna has posted a bunch of new images on his ‘recent images’ page, 44 in total drawn from his South Korean work that he was seen taking in the recent video preview we posted. Well worth a look.

Ok this is going to sound all wrong and maybe its the internet presentation of his art, I know my own work looks average on the web, some would say average either way however,
can someone who has seen the STUDY in the flesh what differentiates Michael’s work. I mean its beautiful stylised, perhaps done on 10×8 plates ? superbly detailed when printed massive ? He has great shape and contrast and he uses a big stopper well. That aside most of Tim’s work on the site has a much bigger wow factor, the opening panoramic with multiple depth of trees and colour is stunning.

Although with his printing skills of Black and White perhaps I have answered my own question and as art is subjective its probably just me.
I would like to be educated here, not flamed if possible
I look at someone like Stuart Redler who to me has an amazing grasp of shape and contrast in B&W.
