Going it Alone on Harris
I was happy to return for the third time when Adam suggested the possibility of a trip, and I felt he would also be a kindred spirit when it came to searching out dereliction! more
Endframe: “Rainbow Over The Potala Palace” Lhasa, Tibet, 1981 By Galen Rowell
"Rainbow Over The Potala Palace" doesn't have a complex composition, creating order from chaos, or much navel-gazing value, but the fabulous conceit here is that what looks like a simple image has a fantastic back story and one that we can take a few lessons from. more
Dylan Nardini
I love experiencing my surroundings and observing light in its many forms and this for me is what landscape photography allows me to do and hence why I love it. more
Thomas Peck’s Critiques
How much more difficult does it become, however, for the viewer to link the images when they are abstracts as we see here in these shots by Edward Burtynsky? more
Endframe: Rho Ophiuchi Nebuale in Scorpio constellation by Scott Rosen
You can argue astrophotography is more science than art; you are capturing what’s already there. There isn’t any room for different interpretation. It’s not like you can change your composition. more
Thomas Peck’s Critiques
The Quiet Sublime: The tradition of the Sublime in landscape has existed since the 18th Century. The most common understanding is when the landscape inspires awe and wonder, even dread and terror. more
Endframe: “Before the Storm” by Edward S. Curtis
The upper third of the frame contains tempestuous backlit clouds, and the middle of the frame is rounded out by the four Apache riding diagonally away from the camera and into the distance. more

Endframe – Dawn on the Trotternish by David Noton
Since I got into landscape photography seriously, I’ve always admired one man. His dedication to the art is undeniable and his enthusiasm for the subject comes across in floods in his writing and his images. more
Matt Botwood
Twitter led me to Matt, and to his book “Travels in a Strange Land: Dark Spaces”. I knew that he worked predominantly in monochrome, so when I came to do the prep for this interview, I was a little surprised to see that his website opens with colour images. more
Thomas Peck’s Critiques
Michael P Berman stamps his personality very clearly on images he makes in the border wilderness lands between America and Mexico. His focus is the local issues of the land – mining, grazing, timber, water more
Light Meters and Film
Talking to various manufacturers over the last couple of years I’ve always inquired into the growth of interest in film photography. Three years ago the answer was a tentative “yes” to film becoming more popular but the last two years have seen even more positive responses. I asked about film sales, chemical sales and also interest in processing. The general size of growth has been about 30% year on year, and we have also seen a big increase in more
Orsolya Haarberg
Many dream of turning their passion for photography into a profession. Orsolya has done just that and has now been working together with her husband, Erlend Haarberg, as a freelance nature photographer for over 10 years, specialising in the landscapes and nature of the Nordic countries. more
