...the attempt at objectivity always seems affected and merely disinterested to me. There are numerous other contemporary landscape photography trends, among which we've got the ‘Instagram-adventure-hiking-boots-and-glowing-tents photographers’, the ‘candy-colour-atomic-glow-luminaters type of photographer’, the ‘moody-black-and-white-only-square-loving-long-exposure photographers’ and then there are those I mostly see in 'On Landscape' or the German magazine ‘Forum Naturfotografie'; photographers who seek a more laid-back, authentic and...
...many, many more.. (sorry if I haven’t mentioned you!) and that is only on Flickr. They regularly produce good images and occasionally produce great ones - it’s quite humbling really. And that is ignoring international photographers such as Michael Gordon, Mike Stacey, Lon Overacker, Roman Loranc, Chip Hooper, Keith Taylor, etc.. I suppose the photographers who particularly inspired me in...
...had a distinguished career as a portrait and lifestyle photographer, and there are insights into that, but it’s the way that he writes about his personal photography that is most absorbing. So make a cuppa and settle down; Justin has put a lot into this, and I think you will find plenty to take away. Would you like to start...
...Europe and Russia. One of our members, Natasha Chub-Afanasyeva, originally an English teacher from Moscow but now a photographer and videographer, got to know about the first-ever event in St. Petersburg and thought she would try to bring the concept to Zurich. Attendance was good on the day. Copyright: Pascal Cornuez What appealed, she explains, was the Photo Laundry’s “accessibility...
...of movement, about 15mm in either direction to allow a full side by side in portrait orientation or a fairly panoramic 3x1 stitch in landscape orientation; Tilt also is fairly large giving a 10 degree tilt which should be enough for all but long lens close up work. The adapter also freely rotates upon releasing a simple clutch which has...
...earth and sky which work together perfectly. Those are the moments we landscape photographers live for. To use the sky as an integral part of our composition we need patience. It so rarely performs for us as we would like. I can’t be the only landscape photographer who sometimes wishes I could just nudge clouds into position, much as a...
Abstract photography, which is how I would almost classify this lovely photograph by Michéla Griffith (click here to read previous articles by Michela), engages the viewer in a completely different way from other photographic genres. Unlike a landscape or a portrait there is a momentary hesitation, a second of uncertainty, as we ponder what it is that we are seeing....
...world composing a square image demands that bit more from the photographer. Pre-visualising a square forces your vision in, minimising the constant wandering of our eyes from side to side, ignoring our peripheral vision. It also forces the photographer to seek a balance between the various elements of the composition. As you go wider in the horizontal there is a...
...and photographic skills further, a photographer I’ve always admired, Theo Bosboom, suggested that focusing on a project would be a good way to achieve this. He offers a course, which basically consists of a year of mentorship, guiding the photographer through the various steps towards producing a consistent series of images. It was exactly what I needed, and I signed...
...but no other condition is more likely to create hoar frost, weather phenomena highlighted for any landscape photographer. Freezing fog may not sound that appealing to regular folk, but no other condition is more likely to create hoar frost, weather phenomena highlighted for any landscape photographer. Although I had not intended to include anything so recent, this photo was, as...
