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

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
