Tufa Cascades of the French Jura
Picking a theme that is not geographically based is, I feel, a near impossibility with landscape photography - geography is our stock-in-trade, after all! So I decided to concentrate on the two similar tufa formations to be found within 50km of each other on the western fringes of the Jura mountain range, which neatly straddles the border between France and Switzerland. I have been visiting these sets of cascades, more
Johsel Namkung – A Retrospective
The style, reminiscent of Eliot Porter but with echos of Harry Callahan in his abstract work, is one of considered detail. This are the illustrations to the never published Zen and the Art of Landscape Photography. more
Sebastião Salgado – Genesis
“Genesis is a journey to the landscapes, seascapes, animals and peoples that have so far escaped the long reach of today’s world” . April 11 – September 8 2013 The early morning media preview of Sebastião Salgado’s new exhibition. Genesis was well underway. Along with dozens of other critics and journalists, I had already enjoyed a welcoming hot coffee with pastries and was now marvelling at 200 stunning black and white prints on the gallery walls. Yet there was more
Andrew Gilbert Fine Art Gallery
Whilst on our pilgrimage to Devon last month Andrew Nadolski and I spent a wonderful evening with a bunch of photographers in an Exeter place of beer worship. One of the landscape photographers there, Andrew Gilbert, told us about the gallery that he had opened up nearby and we thought what a great idea it would be to visit and have a chat about how it was to open a gallery and a little but about his photography. more
H3D39 vs D800 Quality
The world of medium format digital cameras systems is one that is typically associated with either very hard working professionals or well heeled amateurs (or well heeled lazy professionals I suppose). more
H3D39 System Possibilities
OK so we’ve looked at the Hasselblad from just an image viewpoint but what else should we be thinking? Well in my opinion there are a few extra aspects of the Hasselblad system that are worth bearing in mind. The first is that, like any system, when you make a choice you are also buying into a range of lenses and with Hasselblad that range is particularly more
H3D39 vs D800 Usability
New MFD systems as we will call them are more expensive than a good car and depreciate at an even greater rate! more

“I used to want to go to Iceland”

Foreshore – Light and colour
The images do link geographically in that I made them all within a two mile radius of each other and they also form part of a wider photographic geology project which, although my own, is running with the consultation of others. This is ongoing and concentrates on the geology of a specific area. More specifically, the four images form a theme within the project as I find myself more
Ice Jewels of Jökulsárlón
I visited Iceland in my youth as part of a school geology trip but retuned there for the first time in over 35 years on a photographic workshop last year. The weather was pretty atrocious, especially when we visited the glacial lagoon at Jökulsárlón, where the icebergs carved from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, get washout into the sea, many of which are broken up and scattered upon the black volcanic more
Lone Trees in the Snow
Putting a set of four coherent images together is more of a challenge than I first thought, especially as it was at short notice and I didn't want them to be a collection grouped by a single location. In fact, after almost an hour of puzzling over images in Lightroom and my deadline looming I decided to wimp out and take the easy option. Lone trees in the snow. Easy because more
