Graduated Filter Test – Part Five (Bonus!)
It was pointed out by a couple of readers that I’d missed a couple of tests that they would have liked to have seen. These were a ‘scratch resistance’ test and a vignetting test. Whilst I didn’t foresee these changing the results really, I was keen to include them. I also promised a short video on each filter to demonstrate some of the usability issues I’d talked about in the last issue. Skip this section if you just want more
David Queenan
While we (or others) may consider ourselves primarily ‘landscape photographers’, there are no boxes in life and we need not limit our curious minds. more
Time and Photography
A strong fascination with the concept of time has permeated my work from the very beginning and indeed now, in retrospect, I realise it might well be the reason why I chose photography as a medium of personal expression and investigation of the world I live in. more
Romain Tornay
For Romain Tornay it was the stories that he read from an early age that inspired him to travel to and experience the same environments that had so fascinated him. more
Nadir Khan
Nadir Khan may be no stranger to our readers as he's had some previous successes in the Landscape Photographer of the Year competition with an image of two snowboarders "Hunting the Pow". more
Photographic Pedagogy
Beyond any subject taught in any class, I believe that it is also the duty of any teacher to instil in students critical thinking skills, creativity being just one. more

The issue of sharpness and filters comes up regularly in forums and the general consensus seems to be that any filter affects sharpness a bit and poorer glass filters can be worse. more

Stephen McNally chooses one of his favourite images, a classic photograph from Michael Kenna more
Discovery and Rediscovery
What would it have felt like to know that someday I’ll explore, photograph, and write about this vast and magnificent, and largely unexplored, desert, thousands of miles away from my birthplace, as my full-time job? more
Cheryl Rose
I spent a while recently enjoying the colours of New England on a dark winter’s morning courtesy of Cheryl Rose’s photostream. Each time we look at another photographer’s work we open a window on their world, and the way that they see it. more
Finding Flow through Mindfulness
Each one of us possesses an abundance of creative thought and insight. Each of us sees the world in a completely unique way and nobody can say that the way we see the world is wrong. more
Of a Big One, not up a Big One
Every winter we see lots of images of snow-covered peaks in the glow of dawn or dusk light and most of us think “That’s fantastic, but there is no way I could get up a mountain to take photos like these”. more
David Baker
You’ll have to go back to August 2011 and Issue 20 to find Tim’s original Featured Photographer interview with David Baker. This pre-dates both Sea Fever and Ridge Trees, although David’s fascination with the coast was already evident. more
In Turner’s Footsteps
I was particularly keen to learn how Turner depicted the relationship between sea and sky so brilliantly as part of the appeal of Turner’s work more
