The Curse of ‘Pre-Visualisation’
Have you felt it? That feeling of being of being in the right place… at the wrong time? Arriving for a much anticipated session making images at long dreamed of location only to realise that the elements have conspired against you (again) and the hoped for conditions are not to be? more
Interview with Erin Babnik
In two weeks time our landscape photography conference begins and we are very proud to be bringing Erin Babnik over from the US to talk. Erin's work has an intriguing balance of the classic sublime but without the level of bombast that this sub-genre of landscape typically engenders. We asked Erin a few questions about her photography and background. If you like what you read, please come and see her talk titled "Life Lessons for Creative Expression" on Sunday more
Rohan Reilly
There is an almost architectural approach to Rohan Reilly’s long exposure black and white images – from the way in which he carries out his preliminary appraisal, to execution and processing with the final image quite often a vertorama of three images using tilt shift lenses. more
Faces in the Canyon
Canyoning in the Blue Mountains is a very cold, wet experience. Bracingly cold. Physically demanding, involving wetsuits, dry bags, waterproof Pelian boxes and some considerably long walks and what seems like never-ending swims. more
Distinctive Individuality
We are today at a point where much that used to be impressive about the art of photography in the past no longer is, at least not to the degree that it used to be. more

First Steppes with 100 Megapixels
From time to time I reckon all my good luck cards are used up…but then another one comes along. Earlier this year, Drew Altdoerffer from Phase One, with whom I have worked before on Skye and in the Antarctic, emailed. more
Lee Acaster
Lee Acaster has built up an enviable track record of competition successes, so it’s likely that you have heard of him and seen some of his images. more
The Importance of the Sky in our Compositions
As photographers, we are photographing light and the sky, or perhaps more accurately, the sun, as the source of that light. We are drawn to the colours of light around the edges of the day, at dawn and dusk. more
In decline
The melt from glaciers provides an even refill of water for creeks and rivers and keep their flow alive all year around. This has been taken for granted until now. Due to global warming, glaciers are shrinking, and so with a speed, we have never seen before. more
Interview with Colin Homes
I caught up with Colin at the Flaubert gallery in Edinburgh where he currently has a 'retrospective' show which includes work from the last decade or more. more
Killing the Buddha
Far more important, in photography and any other expressive medium, is not how to use our tools but what we do with them, what we each find worthy of creating and expressing. more
Photography and the Concept of Flow
In each of these moments you put your awareness at work the focused and lucid mind is recognising certain elements and situations coming together in not just a visually pleasing manner, but also in a conceptually eloquent manner. more
Michael Gibbs
Trees and woods are a perennial favourite for many photographers, offering plenty of scope for personal interpretations. Michael’s images hint at their mystery but also tease with paint like flecks of colour and light. more
