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
Jonathan Brown
We’re all judged on our images, often all too fleetingly, yet it is the connections that we make and the conversations that occur that can prove to be the most informative. more
36 Megapixels vs 6×7 Velvia
Over a year ago now we carried out various tests of medium format digital camera systems and film camera systems. The results, whilst interesting, didn’t tell us a whole lot about 35mm digital camera systems. more
Weald – David Higgs
I have known David and admired his work for a few years now though our mutual connection with the filmwasters.com forum. During that time I have followed the progress of David’s 5 year project to capture the essence of the Sussex Weald and was eagerly awaiting the culmination of this project - an exhibition of 51 superb platinum/palladium prints at the Ashdown Forest Visitors Centre. While I was hoping to more
The Problem with Photography Journalism
Landscape photography receives little wholly positive press in the newspapers but most coverage of photography in general is neutral to positive. However, over the last few weeks a certain journalist from The Guardian seems to have taken the reins from Brian Sewell and ridden full blast into the anti-photography hall of fame. Jonathan Jones started his little escapade with the subtley titled “Flat, soulless and stupid: why photographs don’t work in art galleries” In this essay he has some great quotes on photography more
