Understanding Input and Output ICC Profiles
One of the things that puzzles people more than any other in colour management, printing and scanning, is just what icc profiles are and do. more
Dave Parry
Dave Parry reviewed the Chamonix 045F1 in our last issue and we thought we'd ask him about his own photography and how he occasionally combines his love of climbing and landscape to make great environmental portraits. more
Is Adobe Creative Cloud Bad For Photographers?
Well, yes. And no. As usual, it depends on your perspective, what your current and future usage of Photoshop is likely to be, what other services you may need from Adobe and how you organise your photographic library. more
Camera Survey
Just over a month ago we asked our readers to tell us what cameras they used for their landscape photography and we had a great response. We've spent a bit of time analysing the results (my programming skills come in useful still occasionally) and here they are! more
Seeing the wood for the trees
Firstly, shake loose the shackles of landscape photography composition rules, forget about foreground interest unless it is going to be a main feature of the photo. more
Plustek Opticfilm 120
Plustek announced a new competitor in this arena over a year ago, but it was only at the start of the year that units were getting into people’s hands. more
Joe Cornish Processing Loch Maree
We've had a few requests for more post processing videos and the last time we had Joe Cornish in the office we asked him to talk through one of his recent images from a workshop. more
Chamonix 045F1
The camera is still ultralightweight and compact when packed. I suspect a user of an N model would be able to replace it in their camera bag with an F1 and not notice any appreciable change in weight or bulk. more
Platinum in Genesis
A lot of Salgado's images rely on the impact of high density prints, and whilst credit must go to 31 Studio for producing outstanding platinum work more
Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park
Tower Hamlet's Cemetery Park opened for 'business' in 1841 and closed for burials in 1966. It was one of London's seven great Victorian cemeteries ("the Magnificent Seven") and marked a vital change from burying the dead in small overcrowded churchyards more
Visual Flow – Ian Plant and George Stocking
Very rarely does a book look beyond some of the generally accepted ‘rules’ or try to dig deeper into the reasons why some compositions work and some don’t. more
Al Brydon
Al has been intriguing us with his crepuscular concoctions for a while and we wanted to ask him some of the usual questions and get an update on this and his 'two photographers' Holga experiments. more
Inverting Negatives Refined
A while back I wrote a small tutorial on how to invert colour negatives using photoshop. At the time I promised a video but was still working on the technique. more
Iceland
There is a prevailing sense that Iceland has been 'over-exposed' in recent months and I may well have been guilty of jumping on that particular bandwagon when I booked a workshop there at the end of February (led by David Ward and local Icelandic photographer, Daniel Bergmann). But I'm not going to apologise! It was my first visit to Iceland and after the first three days of depressingly incessant drizzle and grey mist (at around 6 degrees it was unseasonably more
The Spring
The spring has somehow been avoiding us this year. The gloomy weather has been haunting us for a few months now. So I have made the most out of those few days of sunshine that we have had so far and tried to capture the essence of the spring before it is all over... more
