End Frame – Ostrava Blast Furnace Slag by Fedor Gabčan
The photo was taken in 1966 on an analog Pentacon six with Flektogon 50mm f4 lens and it captures the hot slag dump from nearby ironworks Karolina. Even the city centre was used for heavy industry and coal mining at that time. more

This time last year we were just receiving the first submissions for our Natural Landscape awards and one of those was from Steve Alterman. Later, after many rounds of judging and verifying images, his exquisite photograph of a pseudo mountain on a midnight black sandy beach won first place in the competition more
Eric Erlenbusch – Portrait of a Photographer
I believe that this approach is central to Eric’s ability to “harness the chaos” in a pleasing way as it allows him to try many different ideas and approaches to making an image without the expectation that something good comes of it. more
Blur as Vibration
Several years ago, I made a conventional exposure of birch trees in the morning sunlight that seemed inadequate to convey the surprise of my encounter. Suddenly, I got an impulse to try again and move the camera during exposure. more
Art vs. Craft
Sticking with the music analogy, I have seen videos on Youtube of musicians performing song covers on their respective instruments. That these people are talented is without question, they hit all the right notes. But, that alone does not make them artists. more

Limpets in the Landscape
Although limpets are widespread and can be easily observed at low tide in many places along the Atlantic coast of Europe, the life of limpets is completely unknown to most people. more
Past Masters and expressive photography
In this second part, I'm going to explore their thoughts on perfection and on influences. To see how their mature thinking can be applied to our approach towards expressive photography. more
Transcendent Forms and Noble Lies
I wrote this article as a possible first in a series themed “Philosophy for Photographers.” My hope is that it might help photographic artists understand photography in the greater context of historical thinking about art. more

Mattias Sjölund
I live close to Stockholm, at a glance in the middle somewhere but actually 17 hours on a train from Abisko in the far north and 6 hours south to the middle of Sweden. more
Ghost Ships and Tides
The treacherous waters of the Bristol Channel have long been navigated by waterborne vessels and on many a gale driven night or fog laden morning, many of these vessels have foundered on rocks unseen. This photographic work investigates the history of these shipwrecks. more
End frame: Mountains of Mourne, County Down by Paul Wakefield
My own photography has changed in many ways since I picked up a camera again. A lot of this is down to studying Paul’s work, I don’t go out looking for the golden light anymore, I am much happier photographing on overcast days, shooting in diffused light, and making quieter images. more
