Hamish Roots
In most photographers lives there are 'epiphany’ moments where things become clear, or new directions are formed. What were your two main moments and how did they change your photography? I think perhaps the first instance would have to be around the time I was first introduced to photography by my father when I was still quite young. He encouraged me to experiment and explore what the camera more
Printing Wester Ross
We've covered printing in a video with Joe before but with it being such a minefield it doesn't hurt to go over another example to perhaps pick up on a few more details. In this example, Joe is printing an image captured whilst on a scouting trip in Wester Ross whilst he was also testing out the Mamiya 645 camera with the Phase digital back. https://youtu.be/raKUHe1oqfA more
The New iPad
When you start the new iPad up it just looks crisp. Looking closer it’s what you don’t see that makes such a difference. Pixels.. You can’t see any of them. more
Not So Trigger Happy
It was with of trepidation that I received the Olympus OM10 from Tim. Other than putting a roll of film through an EOS Elan I have been a digital shooter... more
A Click of Photographers?
We landscape photographers aren't well known as an overly social bunch and adding to that a hidden undercurrent of competitiveness (or possibly a gushing waterfall in some people's cases). However, there is a lot to be gained from cooperating for mutual gain. A few photographers from Galloway have done just that - combining their forces to create "The Galloway Photographic Collective" with a mission statement to.. increase our presence more
The Landscape Photography Award
Photography competitions, there are literally thousands of them. Most of them are thinly veiled attempts to accrete free images for commercial use (we recommend you read more about this here before entering any competitions). But all photographic competitions have a couple of major issues The first is the fact that people must want to enter in order to 'win' - this sounds obvious but no competition can hope to declare the 'best' of anything you have to enter, usually more
Hindsight – Difficult Light
One of your favourite features of the magazine, and one you've been asking us to feature as often as possible, is the Hindsight series where we talk to Joe Cornish (and other photographers) about a few of their photographs. This issue we're back with Joe and talking about a set of pictures taken in difficult light and that also happen to reflect the change in photographic medium that Joe has made over the previous decade. Firstly we have what more
Luminosity Masks
Luminosity masks allow us to target only the darkest areas of the image, perhaps warm shadows slightly or remove a cast from our highlights. more
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. In most photographers lives there are 'epiphanic’ moments where things become clear, or new directions are formed. What were your two main moments and how did more
