Rod Bennington’s “A Year at Thorpe Perrow”
Rod Bennington's exhibition comprises photographs resulting from more than fifty visits to Thorp Perrow Arboretum, displaying its remarkable appeal throughout the year. Born in North Yorkshire and having spent most of his life in the area, Rod now lives near to Northallerton, a base he regards as ideal for landscape photography, being midway between the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales. His interest and involvement in photography spans more than more
John Blakemore Book Binding and Sequencing Workshop
I had the real pleasure of meeting one of the greatest living British photographers recently; John Blakemore. Not only did I get to meet him, but I was able to spend two days with him, listening and learning from the master. That said, I did have to share him with nine others, all as part of a weekend workshop organised by the Redeye Network covering book binding and sequencing. more
Livestreaming Event – Talking Lens Testing
Choosing lenses can be a bit of a hit and miss affair. Without buying a range of lenses and testing them yourself, you have to rely on personal recommendations or online lens reviews. However, recommendations are subjective and understanding lens reviews isn't as easy as it sounds. Lots of jargon is bandied around and different websites use different methods leading to a world of confusion. David Ward and Tim Parkin will be having more
Southbound – Photography of a Southern Landscape
A new exhibition of unique, award-winning landscape photography from the country’s south eastern corner, by Valda Bailey, David Baker, Terry Gibbins and Finn Hopson. The South Eastern counties of England are not necessarily the first places that spring to mind when considering landscape photography. They are often dismissed as being too small, too busy or just too ‘easy’. The work of each of these photographers challenges that view. Each more

Join Tim Parkin for an hour long demonstration and Q&A session about using tilt and shift lenses in landscape photography. more
On Limitations and Creativity
This morning I read a comment on a Facebook post saying simply that the weather recently had sapped any creativity and discouraged photography trips. I paraphrase, obviously, but it’s a sentiment that is seen expressed often. I’ve said it myself too, many times. Or should that be too many times! Only on Sunday morning I looked out early, saw the overcast sky and decided against going out. So, for those more
Russ Barnes
We tend to think of photojournalism in terms of that which fills the pages of our newspapers, but speaking to Russ Barnes it seems like a good description of his approach to image making. He says that he often goes out looking for a story and in search of the character of that which he sees. Much of his photography is local to his home at an interface between town and country. When he travels it tends to be more
10th March Livestreaming – Talking Tilt Shift
Tuesday 10th March, 8pm GMT We've written articles about tilt shift photography in previous issues, for instance: Tilt / Shift Photography - Introduction to lens tilts in photography What’s the Shift in Tilt / Shift? A look at lens shift with DSLR cameras The Art of Looming - An explanation of the effects of rear tilt and emulating the effect on a DSLR .. but the subject is getting more and more important to more
The 5DS and 5DSR
The recent announcement of the 5DS and the 5DSR have caused quite a kerfuffle, as is to be expected. What is quite surprising though is the number of people either writing the camera off, or announcing it to be the best thing since sliced bread - all on the evidence of a few jpgs and some PR interviews with Canon representatives. For instance, the specification for the camera shows the highest ISO setting to be 6400. Quite a few people more
Deborah Hughes
This issue we're interviewing Deborah Hughs, a photographer from La Sal, Utah (Near Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Hovenweep and Natural Bridges National Monuments). Deborah is retired but is still busy with her garden, grandchildren, representing local charities and of course photography. Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? My passion for photography has traveled a circuitous route. Growing up, my mother's brownie and my father's 8mm movie more

The Slow Interview with photographer Mark Olwick
I'd say that the majority of my work, maybe 80%, is done as a series, but sometimes that series appears organically more
Funding Cuts for Birmingham Photography Collection
Funding cuts in the Arts were an inevitability due to the economic crisis - most of the arguments regarding cuts are about how far is acceptable and how far is too far. Cutting too far will inevitably erode our own arts foundations, never mind the fact that our creative output is one of our biggest exports valued at £8m per hour and our arts and culture worth nearly 1bn per year from tourist revenues . People may say “Only more
