Get it right in camera or fix it in post processing? It's the age old question and we have only one answer - both! No matter how accurate your camera's colour, your own talent at capturing images or how amazing your post processing skills are, you need all of these skills to create the best . In this issue both Richard Fox and I are thinking about how to relate the experience out in the field with what happens when we get the pictures home in front of our computer.

Brian Kerr
For this issue we've been talking to Brian Kerr, Dumfries born and now Cumbria based photographer with a passion for the hills. Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? It’s fair to say that along with the majority of the population in the 1970s, our family only had instamatic-type cameras; expensive SLRs were something that other people had. I do remember borrowing my Dad’s Polaroid but I can’t have been more
