Compositional Controversies
The Rule of Thirds (RoT) may well be the best-known, most-loved and revered, and equally hated and reviled ‘law’ in art and photography. more
Iceland from above
In 1995, during my first visit to Iceland, I discovered a book with aerial photographs of Iceland by German photographer Klaus Francke. I was blown away by the colours and the complexity of the Icelandic landscape. more
Rob Hudson
Rob’s work demonstrates the importance of series, which give a photographer space to develop and to communicate. If you want to get past received wisdom and think more about your relationship with the land, then read on. more
Looking for excellence
We all know how a memorable photograph looks like. We have so many examples that take our breath away. It takes talent, chance, work and a lot of passion. more
An alternative view…
As always, my inclination is to look for things other than the grand vista to photograph, to search for things that speak to me more of what I personally consider the essence of this place more
The Perils of Social Photography
Discussions of photography most often focus on aspects of making images—tools, techniques, locations, subject matter, etc. All are important, to be sure, but one topic that is consistently neglected and that, in my opinion, is equally worthy of consideration is the photographer’s motivation. more
Compositional Controversies
Composition can be rightly regarded as the ‘internal’ signature of the photographer. That is not to say that a photographer’s work will be instantly recognisable in every photograph. more
Justin Minns
Immersing yourself in something you enjoy doing in such peaceful surroundings puts life’s daily worries into perspective. I hadn’t thought about it until now but it combines the things I’ve always had a passion for more
This week only, Big £400 Discount on 5DS & 5DSr
At On Landscape we've reviewed some of the top high megapixel 35mm cameras by the three main manufacturers and the one that produced the highest level of detail was undoubtedly the Canon 5DS and 5DSr. Combined with having a stunning range of lenses, the Canon is capable of producing images with a level of detail that was previously only available to owners of medium format cameras. If you've more
Mount Fitzroy
The first time I heard the word mentioned, was sometime in the mid 70-ties. It was through a documentary film shown on about a British expedition across the Argentinian glacier Hielo Sur. more
The Scots Pine
The humble Scots pine is the only truly native coniferous tree in the United Kingdom and what a beauty it is. more
Linda Bembridge
Linda loves taking detailed photographs of subjects that, as images, may be unrecognisable in themselves but which can be reconfigured or presented to resemble other landscapes, or otherwise leave room for the viewer’s imagination. more
Glen Nevis
Like most landscape photographers I love winter and find it a special time of year. There is much to be said for autumn, spring and summer but there is just something about crisp frosty mornings and fresh layers of virgin snow that I find invigorating. more
Art and Inspiration
We can think of inspiration as the state of finding profound joy and meaning in the making of our work, in which case it is indeed correlated with what psychologists term flow – a state of great contentment that ensues out of becoming so consumed in an activity that no attention is left over for other concerns. more
Beginning Winter Mountain Photography
Colin Prior’s books on Scotland’s mountains were one of my first introductions to the world of landscape photography. Highland Wilderness and The Wild Places showed me the beauty of Scotland’s finest peaks but it was the winter depictions that really grabbed me. Over the last decade me and my wife Charlotte have visited Scotland every year and most of these visits have been to Glencoe. We’ve always wanted to ‘get up high’ and despite some longer walks have never more
