2024 arrives with a cough and a splutter in the Parkin household. A flu/covid bug took us out of action for a week or so, but come the 1st of January, we were determined to get out on a walk to blow away the cobwebs, and fortunately, the weather played ball. At this time of year, conditions in Scotland can be a place of two environments. In good weather, below about 500-700m, there can be glorious low-angle sunshine, making the hills glow in golds and russets. Above that is winter’s playground, and the icy ground and snow cover can combine with cloud cover to make it quite the foreboding place. If you know what you’re doing, it can be quite magical. On our walk, the dusting of snow highlighted all the geological features, layers of schist and quartz exposed by the heavy glaciation, which made for wonderfully complex ‘charcoaly’ photos.
I’ve just finished the first instalment of our new ‘Any Questions?’ podcast series with Joe Cornish and our special guest Alex Nail. It was really enjoyable and we were very grateful for the interesting questions that were sent in by readers. We got through most of the questions, and I’m sure we’ll use the rest of them in a future issue. We had a lot of people saying that they missed the previous ‘lockdown’ podcast series, so we’re going to try to ensure that we keep this new format running as long as possible. If you have any ideas for guests or topics and any questions, please don’t hesitate to send them in to submissions@onlandscape.co.uk.

The ethereal lighting illuminating the mountainside is what immediately draws the viewer into the landscape. This low sunlight radiates a warmth that perfectly complements the cold blues of the arctic tundra. more
Varanger Fjord in Winter
I went back to a photo trip that was perhaps the perfect trip in many ways, a winter trip to the remote Varanger fjord in northeastern Norway. I'm going to explain why this was such a special trip for me, will you travel with me? more
Vanda Ralevska
I never set out with any intention to make any of my projects. They all come out as a result of experiencing the world. Go out and respond to what you see and feel. Figure out what excites you and what you feel passionate about more
Craftsmanship or Intuition
Craftsmanship is a process, not a finish line. It is developed by constantly challenging what you know already to see if you can go further, by unlearning the learned and by being willing to let go of things that might work but no longer express who you are and questioning what you are being told. more
Sho Hoshino – Portrait of a Photographer
Sho has been able to create a sense of depth by using three tools - colour, texture, and light. By pairing complementary colours such as red and green, Sho masterfully gives the eye a way to move through the frame. more
The Visual Language of Aerial Photography
There has been a proliferation of aerial images in contemporary Australian landscape photography. These aerial images are quite often very abstract in nature, which begs the question – what is the visual language of aerial photography? more
