How things change! Since the last issue, the UK has gone from a concern about a flu epidemic to full lockdown due to Coronavirus. The pandemic is now ramping up into one of the most serious health and economic issues the country has ever faced. Faced with these challenges, it would seem that that landscape photography is pretty irrelevant. However, at times like these, our mental health is also important and many people are finding the isolation a challenge. I’m hoping that On Landscape can help a little by providing some distraction during these times. Also, David Ward, Joe Cornish and I have organised a video conference meeting that we plan on running once a week.

We recorded a ‘pilot’ episode yesterday via GoToWebinar to see how things work and we’ll be sharing this over the weekend. This pilot issue doesn’t have the best audio quality, we have a plan to improve things in the next ones so please bear with us. The plan is to take questions from our readers and possibly to include a guest photographer in future sessions. So if you have any ideas, please let us know.

We’ll be running On Landscape as normal over the coming weeks and if any of you are interested in writing content for us, we’d love to hear from you.

Finally, thank you for all of your messages of support over the last few weeks it has made us very happy that many of you find the magazine a valuable connection to the landscape photography world.

We hope you and your loved ones stay healthy and safe in the coming weeks.

Regards

Tim & Charlotte Parkin, David Ward and Joe Cornish

End frame: Glowing Autumn Forest, Virginia by Christopher Burkett

Amongst my more contemporary influences is the photography of Shinzo Maeda and Christopher Burkett; it is Christopher’s image titled ‘Glowing Autumn Forest, Virginia’ that is my chosen end frame. more

Photography for Local Campaigning

Last year we had a spate of planning applications in the Glen Etive/Rannoch Moor area. Firstly the King’s House hotel was sold to the Black Corrie’s Estate and, with a lease to Crieff Hydro negotiated, a rebuild of the newer part of the King's House was proposed. The design was disliked by most more

Compare and Contrast

I guess this analytical approach stuck because as I look at these two photographs by Finn Hopson, I can’t help but react in exactly the same way. They both have the same subject – woodland scenes with mist and fog. They are structured very similarly – strong verticals bisected by flowing horizontals. But their mood is completely different. more

Jean Discours

As the mists rise in Jean Discours’ photos, you can almost sense the earth breathe, the respiration of the trees made visible. We asked Jean tell us more about the landscapes of L’Aubrac in south-central France, and his explorations with a camera. more

Passing Through – Mark Banks

Back in January, Mark was in between two workshops he as running based in Kentallen. This village is on the coastal road from Ballachulish to Oban and approximately 25 minutes from Glencoe. Tim and Mark met at the Joe Cornish Gallery when Tim had just started using his large format camera and since then Mark has transitioned from using large format to digital photography. In this podcast, Mark talks about how and why he transitioned from large format, more

The Meaning of a Life

But what role does photography play in this life, and why is it so important, not just to me, but to millions of others around the world as well? Have we lost sight of this meaning, and can we get it back? more

Mud & Sand

This project began several years ago when I first noticed the notation ‘Mud & Sand’ on an OS map of the Bristol Channel. I couldn’t work out why these beaches should be so muddy and I was curious to find out what they looked like. more
