Sony A7R – Field Report
On the scene comes the Sony A7R... The A900 has a superb reputation for colour integrity and this has largely been carried through into the Nex line. I had high hopes for the A7 and A7R incarnations. more
Small Camera – Big Pictures
Expectations from the diminutive Sony A7R (and A7) are high, possibly too high. Would it be a ‘Leica killer’, could it establish Sony as a contender to join the ‘top table’ of manufacturers and sit alongside Canon and Nikon? more
On Paul Wakefield and “The Landscape”
While he continues to be recognised as one of the great photographers of his generation in the relatively narrow field where he makes his living, for far too long Paul Wakefield’s images have been outside of the mainstream. more
Canyon Lands
Time spent wandering is key to my photography. I find when in the right frame of mind, taking my time to be receptive and observing my surroundings, I’m most likely to find something that excites me to make an image. more

The Joy of 6×6
Over the years there have been numerous 6x6 rangefinder cameras some with collapsible lenses. The last true 6x6 fixed format rangefinder was the Mamiya 6. more
Terry Johnson
At On Landscape have been aware of Terry and his growing body of work for some time. His approach to photographing trees is strongly graphic and quite reminiscent of some oriental art. more
Shooting Astro in Cappadocia
Just like any adventure, it began with uncertainty, which plummeted to hard times, but it was hard graft, high spirits and the search for something entirely different that brought it all back home. more
Walking in the Dolomites – Fuji X or Nex
I picked up an XE1 and 18-55mm zoom lens secondhand with spare batteries and case which enabled me to perform some preliminary testing vs the Nex 5n and Nex 7. I had high hopes for the JPEG output and for the quality of the zoom lens. more
