Bluebells
Bluebells: such a quintessentially British flower that gives so much joy to so many of us.

Creating a novel image of bluebells has become very difficult, but nevertheless I set myself the goal of producing something that I had not seen already. Having struggled with the most more
Sun on Rum
A set of images attempting to dispel the myth that it is not possible to make worthwhile landscape photographs under harsh overhead sun. On a trip to the Small Isles of Scotland, we visited by boat the remote beach of Bagh Rubha Mhoil Ruaidh on the north-east side of Rum. I literally turned my back on the views of the Black Cuillin across the water on Skye and for several hours concentrated on the 100 metres or so stretch of beach. more
Lewis and Harris
Some seascapes I shot while visiting friends on the Isle of Lewis over Easter. more
After the Rain
I know how much a lot of people don't like rain. However as a photographer, there are a lot of times when I am really grateful for it.

Dave Parry

Is Adobe Creative Cloud Bad For Photographers?
Well, yes. And no. As usual, it depends on your perspective, what your current and future usage of Photoshop is likely to be, what other services you may need from Adobe and how you organise your photographic library. more
Camera Survey
Just over a month ago we asked our readers to tell us what cameras they used for their landscape photography and we had a great response. We've spent a bit of time analysing the results (my programming skills come in useful still occasionally) and here they are! more
Seeing the wood for the trees
Firstly, shake loose the shackles of landscape photography composition rules, forget about foreground interest unless it is going to be a main feature of the photo. more
Plustek Opticfilm 120
Plustek announced a new competitor in this arena over a year ago, but it was only at the start of the year that units were getting into people’s hands. more
Joe Cornish Processing Loch Maree
We've had a few requests for more post processing videos and the last time we had Joe Cornish in the office we asked him to talk through one of his recent images from a workshop. more
Chamonix 045F1
The camera is still ultralightweight and compact when packed. I suspect a user of an N model would be able to replace it in their camera bag with an F1 and not notice any appreciable change in weight or bulk. more
