10th March Livestreaming – Talking Tilt Shift
Tuesday 10th March, 8pm GMT We've written articles about tilt shift photography in previous issues, for instance: Tilt / Shift Photography - Introduction to lens tilts in photography What’s the Shift in Tilt / Shift? A look at lens shift with DSLR cameras The Art of Looming - An explanation of the effects of rear tilt and emulating the effect on a DSLR .. but the subject is getting more and more important to more
Rockpool Photography
I have long found the miniature worlds contained in rockpools fascinating and over the years I have taken the odd photograph from above with varying degrees of success (ideally using a polariser to cancel surface reflections). More recently, admiring oceanic photographs and noticing adverts for underwater housings for digital compacts got me thinking. It struck me that these underwater housings might offer a novel viewpoint on the world of rockpools, given I had no intentions of leaving the safety more
More Resolution?
There have been two constant declarations from photographers ever since the first digital camera appeared. The first was that they have "more resolution than film!" (even 3mp cameras!) and the second is that "it's as much as we need". As each increase in resolution of digital cameras increase, from 3 to 6 to 8, 10, 12 and more recently 24 and 36 megapixels - a substantial number of photographers would ask "Why do we need such resolution? I print more
The 5DS and 5DSR
The recent announcement of the 5DS and the 5DSR have caused quite a kerfuffle, as is to be expected. What is quite surprising though is the number of people either writing the camera off, or announcing it to be the best thing since sliced bread - all on the evidence of a few jpgs and some PR interviews with Canon representatives. For instance, the specification for the camera shows the highest ISO setting to be 6400. Quite a few people more
Deborah Hughes
This issue we're interviewing Deborah Hughs, a photographer from La Sal, Utah (Near Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Hovenweep and Natural Bridges National Monuments). Deborah is retired but is still busy with her garden, grandchildren, representing local charities and of course photography. Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? My passion for photography has traveled a circuitous route. Growing up, my mother's brownie and my father's 8mm movie more
Endframe – “On Being Aware of Nature” by Mario Giacomelli
It can be of no surprise that Mario Giacomelli is generally regarded as one of Italy's greatest photographers. Born in 1925 he took his first photographs at 25 and won a national photography competition a year later. From then on he moved from subject to subject - a hospice, an abattoir, trainee Catholic priests playing in the snow - and, of course, his landscape. My chosen image is from a series that he worked on from 1977 more

Houston, We Have a Problem…
Following the recent Meeting of Minds conference, photographer and blogger Malcolm Ragget’s posted his personal summation of the weekend. (http://mraggett.wordpress.com/2014/11/25/onlandscape-conference-craft-versus-art/) David Ward - Eggum Boatshed In a thought-provoking article, Malcolm calls for landscape photographers to broaden their horizons and consider metaphor as a key ingredient of a good photograph. Toward the end of the post he makes a plea for “…delegates to think more deeply more
Its Not Grim Up North
Photography has inextricably intertwined with my life for nearly 40 years. I am not a photographer in the sense that I make my living out of it nor am I an artist but have used the medium to further enjoy outdoor pursuits and to scratch a technical itch with regards to cameras and technology. Photography was also a very necessary escape from a demanding career. Like any ‘craft’ I have learned how to make my images work, importantly knowing more
Endframe – “Moencopi Strata, Capitol Reef” by Minor White
Today, nearly five decades later, the same pools and springs, and the blissful comforting vastness of the desert, are what keep me going, too. But, I am not alone. more
Funding Cuts for Birmingham Photography Collection
Funding cuts in the Arts were an inevitability due to the economic crisis - most of the arguments regarding cuts are about how far is acceptable and how far is too far. Cutting too far will inevitably erode our own arts foundations, never mind the fact that our creative output is one of our biggest exports valued at £8m per hour and our arts and culture worth nearly 1bn per year from tourist revenues . People may say “Only more
