Luminosity Masks

Interview with Iain Sarjeant
These days I am drawn more and more to photograph ordinary places, and have an increasing interest in the everyday. I am equally at home in natural and human environments, particularly enjoying the meeting of the two. I spend quite a bit of time exploring close to home, such as my local woods, walking directly from the house. Two minutes walk away, my daily route takes me past a small pool, and although nothing extraordinary more
Jason Theaker
Jason Theaker was one of the first photographers I saw on flickr some time ago now and his regular photo uploads with their associated essays, discussing his thinking on photography, gathered him many followers. He lives and works within the Leeds/Bradford area and most of his photographs are created either around the Yorkshire area, quite often a short distance from home, or down in Cornwall where he spends regular family holidays and has lead a couple of workshops with more
Basic Training at North Sands
It was in October 2006 that I first set out to North Sands to take my first ‘proper’ landscape photographs. Armed with a tripod, some Cokin filters, and, oh yeah, a camera, I drove in the darkness along Cemetery Road, past skeletal remains of disused factory buildings and parked at the gates of the Victorian cemetery. Walking past gravestones is perhaps not the most inviting of ways to begin an adventure into landscape photography, but that’s how it started more
Chris Goddard
This month we're featuring a photographer that previously offered some work as an image critique which we featured in issue 12. Chris Goddard is a ranger who works in South Wales but travels the country capturing some stunning imagery along the way.

A Plea for Broader Horizons

41 Megapixel Phone Camera!
OK - we've been keeping a place open for this one.. Nokia have just out specced nearly all of the camera companies in one fell swoop. The new Nokia 808 will have 41MP!! This looks like a typo when you first see it. FORTY ONE MEGAPIXELS! Well, my first reaction was - must be a fake - but no, lo and behold they've actually created a camera with more megapixies than Nikon's new D800. more
Anti-aliasing and Moire
For those who don’t know, Nikon’s new DSLR is a 36 megapixel blockbuster, for the ‘e’ options you pay an extra £300 and have the anti-alias filter disabled. more

Baxter Bradford
In this issue we’re talking to Hampshire/Cornwall based photographer Baxter Bradford whose prints from around the granite coastline and Kimmeridge I first saw whilst staying in the Mount Haven Hotel near St Michael’s Mount. In most photographers lives there are 'epiphanic’ moments where things become clear, or new directions are formed. What were your two main moments more
A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Glacier…
One of my ‘best’ pictures was ‘taken’ at the face of Franz Josef Glacier on New Zealand’s South Island. The sheer scale of that monumental wall of ice. more
