...was hidden under a metre and a half of snow. Despite the new opportunities in front of him, he was disappointed. Many years ago, Joe Cornish and I were running a tour in Yosemite. For the first few days, we had the clear blue weather typical of the Sierras at that time of year. Rather than shooting the big vistas,...

...- fingers crossed. As far as the bare paper images were concerned I was originally going to print them at Joe Cornish’s and use Fotospeed Smooth Cotton 300 but timetables meant that this would be tough to organise. Fortunately, I had to visit Dav Thomas to work on some colour profiling for monitors and printers for his Triplekite Publishing business...

...but it must have been compelling to have such a large number of pictures from one area and to think “what can I do with these?” Alex has told me that one of his inspirations was Joe Cornish’s “Scotland’s Mountains” which sets such a high target for quality. From this point on, Alex started “keeping back” some of his best...

...with Joe Cornish and not David Noton? Both are extremely good photographers. What does Joe do that David does not? Has the craft of photography lessened over the years? Has digital imagery removed the getting it right in camera, in favour of Photoshop and Lightroom, in which case is it digital art rather than photography, in the strictest sense? But...

Dav lives in Sheffield, on the edge of the Peak District and travels the 15 minutes from his house to one of our most loved national parks on a regular basis. Dav is following the video format...

I also love Joe Cornish’s images and ‘Scotland’s Mountains’ is one of my favourite photography books of all time. I recently bought ‘With Landscape in Mind’ and found it really interesting to be able to see how...

One of Joe Cornish's inspirations was and still is Tasmanian photographer Peter Dombrovkis. In this first of a series of videos Joe talks to Tim Parkin about the series of books that were published by Peter and his wife. The first book is 'Wild Rivers', the only book published during Peter's sadly too short life. Read more on Peter Dombrovskis...

...lenses seen recently where smaller aperture results on the D800 resolved more than the best aperture results on a 5Dmk3 got us thinking. Last week myself, Mark Banks and Joe Cornish met up to run some tests where we used the 36Mp Nikon D800E and a 24Mp Sony A900 (same sensor as the Nikon D3X) at various apertures to find...

...so I know that if I'm asked, I can produce a quality piece of work. It's nice to have that. Tell me about the photographers that inspire you most. What books stimulated your interest in photography and who drove you forward, directly or indirectly, as you developed? Well for obvious reasons that have been explored time and again, Joe Cornish...

...the article in Issue 3 on David Ward’s book Beyond Landscape, or the interview with Chris Friel in Issue 42. This contribution was instigated by reading the End Frame piece by Marc Hermans and his commentary on Submergence by Joe Cornish3 and also at around the same time by the images of Swiss photographer André Piguet who was featured on...
