...going to say in my early days I was inspired by Galen Rowell, particularly the book Mountain Light, and also Joe Cornish with his book First Light. Galen's book was one of the first books I read upon buying a decent camera (in my case a Nikon D70) and made a big impression on me in terms of pursuit of...
...afforded the opportunity and a 20D was in my hands. From that point it was a series of small enlightenments until I was bought a Joe Cornish book (First Light), a Jack Dykinga book (Large Format Nature Photography) and a couple of years later an Andrew Nadolski book (End of the Land). These books showed me a range of approaches...
On our 200th issue, we decided to have a special Passing Through podcast. David Ward and Joe Cornish are running a workshop in the area and Ted Leeming and Morag Paterson are in Scotland also. We decided to invite them to dinner followed by a roundtable discussion on what we as landscape photographers can do to help protect the environment...
Introduction by Joe Cornish Had he lived, Galen Rowell would by now be 70 years old. That his name still resonates down the years says much for the power of his art. I still remember finding Mountain Light at Stanfords, Covent Garden, on a grey London day in 1986. The colour and compositional invention and energy compelled me to buy,...
We put a call out for question for our third lockdown podcast with Joe Cornish and David Ward. We managed to get through half of the questions last time and this issue we managed to complete the set. As mentioned in last episode, we are looking at having a mini 'in your house' photography challenge. All three of us are...
The premise of our podcast is loosely based on Radio Four's “Any Questions.” Joe Cornish (or Mark Littlejohn) and I (Tim Parkin) invite a special guest to each show and solicit questions from our subscribers. In this episode, Tim Parkin talks to Simon Baxter and Joe Cornish about the intricate relationship between mindset, expectations, and the art of woodland photography....
Introduction from Joe Shooting into the Sun - Introduction by Joe Cornish Almost unbelievably now, it isn’t that long ago since camera and film manufacturers encouraged would-be photographers to take pictures with the sun ‘over the shoulder’. Quite simply (and understandably) they knew that there was a better chance of the picture ‘coming out’. What they did not say was...
...very hard to carry them with you. The few books I have purchased however, have had a significant influence on me. The first was Joe Cornish’s “First Light”. (You can tell why he was mentioned in the inspiration list earlier!). I remember my initial thoughts, turning each page and studying the wonderful detail and the beautiful light that Joe had...
The last time Joe Cornish and I met up we were talking about Lightroom and how much it had changed since our original 'Creative Lightroom' series covering techniques and post processing creativity. We quickly worked out that it was in 2014, over a decade ago! After lots of comparing notes on the different techniques that we now use that just...
I was having one of our regular chats with Joe Cornish last week to catch up on things, and we both talked about making the most of the fact that we were both available to record some audio content for our readers. We’ve tried having online chats before but had problems with internet bandwidth when we were based in East...
