Hidden Depths
From Beinn Maol Challum Ok, I admit it. I'm a bagger, a list ticker, a trophy collector. I've accepted what I am and I'm not going to change. Over the years I've collected lots of different things from Matchbox cars, tin soldiers and beer mats as a youngster to sea-washed bricks, mountain tops and footpaths as an adult. I love nothing more than pouring more
The Photographer’s Place
A couple of weeks ago I went on a workshop, a workshop that continues a series that started in the early 1980s more
Tools of the Trade
The obvious problem facing landscape photographers is weather and most particularly rain. more
Composition – A New Approach
The majority of people will have bought books that profess to offer a series of rules of composition and this ‘rule’ based education, a very western way of teaching, dominates nearly all literature of composition. more
Iain Sarjeant
Birch Frost I first saw Iain's work on flickr about two years ago, just as he was posting some of his old Velvia slides and some of his current work and was very impressed at his sense to composition and use of texture/pattern in nature. We chatted on the phone last week and he told me a little about himself, an ex-print designer who lives just north more
Shinzo Maeda – Selected books
Shinzo was a prolific publisher and of the 46 books he published or contributed to, probably six or seven are easily available second hand. more
Shinzo Maeda
In 1974 he published his first collection of photographs entitled “The Four Seasons of a Home Town”, Maininchi Shimbun-sha, Tokyo which became a successful vehicle for his craft and the production of 46 photography books until his death in 1998 at the age of 76. more
Hindsight – Summer Walks
Joe Cornish is back with another Hindsight review of three photographs in that usual order, one well known, one not so well known and one that didn't quite work. more
Hamish Roots
We're starting a new section in this issue due to feedback from our subscribers and readers. We'll be regularly featuring critiques of our readers pictures and the 'critiquers' (is that a word?) will either be Joe or myself or one of our featured photographers. For this first critique, Hamish Roots has volunteered to be our willing victim and we'll be talking about two of his pictures taken on an epic trip to the Lake District that I also attended more
Wildlife Photographer of the Year
This iconic photo competition, based at the Natural History Museum and now in its 47th year. more
Unwanted Sales Opportunities?
Whilst I was working on the content for this issue, I received a disturbing phone call from a colleague, Jason Theaker. more
A Photographer at Work – Eddie Ephraums & Joe Cornish
I don't think there are many UK based landscapers who don't list Joe as an influence or inspiration in their work. Over the last 20 years or so, Joe has emerged, following in the footsteps of Charlie Waite, as one of our finest landscape photographers. more
Colour Film Comparison – Pt Two
As in the previous tests, the comparisons are between colour films available in large format sheet sizes (comparing roll films is expensive and time consuming). more
Peter Hyde
I do look at a lot of photographers work, both in books and on-line, as well as visiting galleries when possible, and this must influence how I want to present images. more
The Pursuit of the ‘Wow’ Factor…
We've all seen them on photo-sharing sites: images of grand vistas with strong colours, dramatic perspectives. more
