Stacks of Aurora with David Clapp
After David Clapp's recent wonderful article on Iceland where we saw some stunning aurora images and some novel locations, we asked if he could show us his focus stacking technique used on the 'shooting star' aurora shot. more
A Sideways Glance – Part Two
Rather than the highly directed activity that traditional landscape photography can often be, it is a more random process, often undertaken in the spirit of exploration. more
Take Control of your Saturation
If you take a look at the popular photography press you’ll see that the saturation slider is probably one of the most used post production tools and also perhaps one of the most abused. more
Falls of Orchy
In the highlands of Scotland, near the bleak moorland of Rannoch, the river Orchy begins its journey high in the munros of the Black Mount and winds it way down through Loch Tulla into Glen Orchy. more
“Landmark” – A Different Take
Somerset House has, in the last few years, established itself as a premier exhibition space for international photography. Whilst it would perhaps be unfair to describe it as populist, it certainly trends to more accessible imagery than the more contemporary fare on the opposite bank of the Thames. Holding the annual Sony World Photo Expo, as well as recently "Cartier-Bresson in colour", the exhibition space is pleasingly traditional, set in reasonable size rooms with good light, than conveys a more

Stories from the Land
Jem Southam is critically regarded as one of the most important British photographers of the last twenty five years. Working with a 10x8 view camera and colour negative film, his patient pursuit of his art seems at odds with the frenetic pace of life in the 21st Century. He predominantly works in South West of England, often returning to the same location time and time again to record subtle variations in the landscape, how it changes during the seasons and exploring more
Seduced by Art – Photography Past & Present
A visit to London this weekend with my parents-in-law took me to a few different exhibitions. The Ansel Adams exhibition has already been reviewed so I’ll be writing instead about the “Seduced By Art: Photography Past and Present” exhibition at the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery as well as “Constable, Gainsborough, Turner and the Making of Landscape” at the Royal Academy. The Seduced by Art exhibition’s primary purpose is to look into the ways that the themes, subjects and more
An Icelandic Adventure
I love Iceland! There you go I’ve said it. It’s a new love affair, and one which I feel very strongly about, but I have to admit, that it has never been particular high on my list of locations to visit. It’s an almost reckless statement as there is a truly astounding volume of excellent work that has been produced from this small frozen island over the last few years. It’s become a Mecca for landscape photographers, a ‘Do more
Joe Cornish – Reader’s Questions
Just before Christmas we asked our readers for a bunch of questions that we could put to Joe Cornish when he visited next and the response was fantastic. In the end we recorded two hours of audio but to keep installments to a useful length (a lot of people say they listen to them over breakfast or during a commute) we’ve split it into half hour sections. So, a big thank you to Joe and everyone who submitted their questions and here’s more
The Great Analogue Conundrum
What I would urge the solely digital users to think about are the benefits of learning to use film. The disciplines it brings. more
Lizzie Shepherd
Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? A little background on what your first passions were, what you studied and what job you ended up doing. I come from a large family – all creative and musical, with a love of the outdoor life. Summer holidays were usually spent camping in Scotland, Wales, the Alps, often in the rain... I was an avid collector of things from the natural world more
