Tripod Wars: Time for a Ceasefire?
Imagine the scene – I’m sitting at home in my front room next to my wife, who is watching Grey’s Anatomy (I apologise on her behalf). Having recently subscribed to On Landscape I am busy making my way through the substantial number of previous issues and reading with interest so much of the excellent articles that have been submitted. Being fairly new to landscape photography I am hugely enjoying reading the ideas and thoughts of those much more experienced more

In this issue’s Lightroom guide we took an introductory look at the adjustment brush and graduated filter brush. more
Saltwick
After a bit of a lean period in terms of my own photography I’ve had the pleasure of going out every week for the last four weeks. Every one of those weeks has been to the same location but in many ways that has made it more interesting. Apologies for the delay in getting the latest issue complete as we have spent some time getting the 360 location guide working again (why do software developers insist on changing things!). more
A Return to Iceland
I think it’s fair to say that Iceland has become a bit of a cliche for photographers. No matter where you look online there seems to be someone returning with pictures of clear ice on black sand, moss covered boulders and, in winter at least, swathes of “green shit in the sky”. Even two years ago when I visited with Joe Cornish to shoot the promotional videos for Phase One (one, two and three) I felt more
Walking, A Way of Photography
“We don't make a photograph just with a camera, we bring to the act of photography all the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have heard, the people we have loved.” - Ansel Adams In this memorable quote, Ansel Adams distills the idea that photography is truly an act of self expression. He urges us to apply our entire life experience, especially what we have learned from other art forms, and from our relationships, more
End Frame – Mist on the North-East Ridge by Peter Dombrovskis
When Tim asked me if I would do an “End Frame” I didn’t realise quite how difficult it would be identifying which particular photograph I wanted to discuss. There are many photographers whose portfolios I admire and there are many more photographs within those collections which I could loosely describe as favourites .... so which one should I choose? I turned to my collection of photography books and began studying several familiar photographs. After a while I started to ask myself more

On Vision… Part 1
Hopefully, you can now begin to understand some of the correspondences and differences between human vision and the photographic image. more
End Frame – Early Morning, Merced River by Ansel Adams
When asked if I'd be interested in writing an End Frame article, two favourite landscape images immediately came to mind. Of the two, one I've only become aware of relatively recently (although the image itself is much older), but the other I've known for what must be around twenty years now (although again the image is much older), so I decided it really had to be this image that I write about. So, in the genre of landscape photography, Ansel more

Creative Lightroom Pt 2
This current instalment talks about possibly the most important panel to understand for the broad processing of images within Lightroom. more
Joe Cornish & Charlie Waite
Part 2 of our interview of Joe Cornish & Charlie Waite by Steve Watkins (editor of Outdoor Photography). Steve: What I’d like to discuss is landscape photography in its broadest sense, but also look at some of the practice of landscape photography and what influences Joe and Charlie have had. I’d also like to touch on the future and where it is all going, because by the time we leave here, landscape photography will have changed, with another 20,000 photographs uploaded more
Alaska: Breaking Up Is So Hard To Do
There was a loud knock. It was barely light, and after exchanging glances with my wife I put down my half-chewed bagel, smothered in peanut butter, and went over to the campervan door. Standing there in the gloom was a young man, thin with a pasty white face under a red checkered baseball cap, hands thrust deep into his blue denims. In a sullen southern drawl he said: “Just gonna do some shootin’ here, hope you don’t mind, didn’t want more
Joe Blogs – “One day my Prints will come”
It may be a sign of the times that this year my schedule has included four workshops that were either dedicated to printing, or that have had a significant component of printing in them. (Prior to this year there have been no such workshops). It could be too that only now am I feeling confident enough to lead such an enterprise, or that Light and Land's branding of 2014 as 'the Year of the Print' has something to do more
End Frame – Dancing Horses by Chris Tancock
I like the way Chris has worked on this project. Allowing us to be an audience to an unfolding drama. more
