M62
These are part of the first trickle of images from one of my ongoing personal projects started in November 2012. This particular one revolves around the M62. The trans-Pennine motorway. more
A Boscage of Birch
Just under a year ago, I started hatching a plan for a photography project which would not only be different from my previous work but would provide a genuine challenge. more
Distant Horizons
Researching the history of this particular ‘meme’ has been a fascinating journey back through time and one that has made me taught me much about the communication of artistic ideas through the ages. 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
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
Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park
Tower Hamlet's Cemetery Park opened for 'business' in 1841 and closed for burials in 1966. It was one of London's seven great Victorian cemeteries ("the Magnificent Seven") and marked a vital change from burying the dead in small overcrowded churchyards more
Full Circle
The only other regions where I have seen circular folds are Perthshire, Sutherland and what appears to be a suspiciously stell-like structure on St Kilda. more
Tripod Wars
The intent of many landscape photographers is to make an image of somewhere extraordinary; mine is to reveal the extraordinary in seemingly mundane wild places. more
Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act & Orphan Works
The government in its infinite wisdom have recently applied for and receive royal assent for the "Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act" which amongst other things has a couple of items that have a significant impact for photographers. The first is related to large rights collecting organisations e.g. the copyright equivalent to the PRS society. These may have an impact but for this article we'll be skipping past them. The more
A Sideways Glance – Part Two
Rather than the highly directed activity that traditional landscape photography can often be, it is a more random process, often undertaken in the spirit of exploration. more
The Great Analogue Conundrum
What I would urge the solely digital users to think about are the benefits of learning to use film. The disciplines it brings. more
A Sideways Glance – Part One
In a review of one of my earlier books, it was noted that the photographs in it could have been taken by several different photographers. I suspect this was not meant as a compliment! But different landscapes demand different approaches. The traditional modus operandi of the landscape photographer would be to find a location and return to it at different times of day – or year – to capture more
Facets of Light
From a photographic point of view my images have always been very painterly even when I was using film. more
4×4 Portfolio
We’ve wanted to feature mini portfolio’s of images for some time and from next issue that is exactly what we plan to do. We’re not just after your ‘best’ images but we’re after a set of images that fit into a ‘theme’ of some sort; that hang together in a creative way, hopefully more than just geographic but that would be if the pictures are strong enough and ‘work’ together. Submitting Images If you want to submit images to the 4x4 more
What’s in your bag?
A new regular feature for On Landscape is a look into the photographic rucksack. If you're anything like me this changes on a regular basis and depends on where you're going but it's always interesting to see what people take with them and how they organise it. The feature will come in two forms, a short video view or a photo gallery. If you want to send in your own WIYB feature please provide between two and four photos of more
