Quiet Imagery
The older I am getting ( now 58 ) the more I tend to love less spectacular and quiet imagery. When I was young, mountains where the hot stuff on the menu and I made long hikes in the Swedish national parks in the High North. My strategies were all in the direction of catching the mountains in the most dramatic light as possible. I still like images of grand landscapes, but more so when they are interpreted in more
Land|Sea – A Collaboration between Triplekite and On Landscape
Although On Landscape was always intended as a ‘virtual’ magazine for various reasons - cost being an important one but print quality and the possible advantages of video and interactive content being others – the idea of seeing great photography printed well is still one which we think is incredibly important. Seeing photography on a screen is something that is working better and better, especially when people are using tablets such as the Ipad with retina display, more
The Year of the Print by Charlie Waite

Grouped Masks
We’ve written about using masks in Photoshop before now (see links) and we’re still of the opinion that, combined with curves and hue/saturation adjustments, masks are the key building blocks of post production.

Polarisers, Shutter Speeds and Flowing Water
I think it would be safe to say that the vast majority of us have taken photographs of water flowing over rocks in a river at some point or other.

I was recently in Glencoe, Scotland and saw a particularly more

If gaining recognition with multiple exposure images through competitions is the defining factor then my progress has been lamentably slow. more
How did it all happen?
Around ten years ago, when (from my point of view) shooting 5x4 inch film was the only show in town, I was one of a number of photographers asked to participate in a BBC series about digital photography. The presenter, Tom Ang, asked me to use a phone, to see how I got on with it and how I could apply it in daily use. It was embarrassing in more
