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
Polar Voyages
Wilderness is affecting, and most who travel to these regions are changed forever by the intensity and power of raw nature. The harshness, the birds, fish and mammals that carve out a living here, the weather, and the indescribable beauty of the landscapes can haunt your imagination, shift your perspective, even change your values and understanding. more
Abisko
Few people outside Sweden have never heard about Abisko National Park. This is why I want to give a try to put it on the photographic map. more
Has colour photography finally come of age?
It’s almost 190 years since Nicéphore Niépce made the first light-fast photographic image. That image was monochrome but I’m not sure that modern photographers understand how recently colour photography became widespread or how radically things have improved in the last ten years. more
Beyond the Visual: Sound, Word and Landscape.
I've long believed that for my work, seeing by itself is insufficient to create a good photograph. Whereas visual skills are essential, they are only a part of the contribution we can make as individuals or artists to our photography. The real skill of the visual is translating whatever it is we're trying to say into images; an extra level that might go some way to communicating our intent. Beyond seeing lies the murky, complex world of ideas, motivation, more
Healing
And so after feeling that my time at Thirlmere had come to a natural conclusion I decided to make Holme Fell and Hodge Close Quarry my area of discovery for 2015. Located between Ambleside and Coniston, although closer to the latter, it was really convenient for me to get to from our little bolthole at Skelwith Fold more
Dorin Bofan
Over time, his interpretations of that which he sees are becoming more closely attuned with his vision of the world. Photography is important, but the experience of being out amid nature is even more so. more
One Direction
For some reason landscape photographers, including myself, tend to spend way to much time trying to find the extraordinary. The urge is often to find a place where we can take a photograph with a “wow factor”. more
