The Photographer’s Guide to …

Location guides are funny things. The mainstream magazines include them in nearly every issue and they typically include a photo, a low resolution map and a short ‘story’ about the location which will usually include “I nearly left and then the clouds parted”, etc. Alternatively we have some of the in depth guides I have made in the past which include multiple 360 interactive views and maps and sample images. Both ends are useful but at the ‘short’ end more →

Sigma 35mm Art

One of the things I was wary of when starting On Landscape was including too many reviews. There are so many reviews out there already that adding a few more ‘yeah this looks quite good, 92%’ posts wouldn’t really contribute a lot. However, I did get a lot of people asking for my opinion on various items, from cameras and lenses to tripods and raw converters and when I feel I’ve had something to add beyond what is already more →

Thomas Peck’s Critiques

Much photography is descriptive in a literal sense. Sharp lenses, high resolution cameras transcribe in great detail and clarity whatever subject the photographer choses. The viewer recognises instantly what is being shown; as a result interpretation is relatively simple. That is not the case with Doug Chinnery’s wonderful moody seascape view above. (Click here for other articles Doug Chinnery has written for On Landscape.) Here we have the opposite of the ‘straight shot’. The norms of photography have been subverted. more →

David Higgs’ Weald

The following is a transcription of the screencast recorded after spending a day out with David wandering the Weald and waiting for the coated paper to dry for one of his platinum palladium prints. Tim Parkin: Hi, we’re here with David Higgs, just spent the day in Ashdown Forest David Higgs: Doing a lot of walking, chatting and not many taking pictures! That’s fine TP: Nothing wrong with that, just great being out seeing the world. Also looked at the exhibition, more →

Blind Critique Live Streaming, 20th May, 8pm

We're re-introducing our blind critiques which we ran last year. This is where we'll be inviting photographers along to provide feedback on submitted photographs from our subscribers. Getting feedback on your photography is critical to your progression as a photographer. For most photographers this typically happens when they meet up with some friends on when they post images on Flickr more →

Photography Road Trip

Our two-stage photography road trip had been planned since the autumn of 2013. Starting in San Francisco in early May 2014 a friend from California and I drove 1500 meandering miles to Seattle over a period of about 8 days taking in stretches of the coast, redwood forests, lakes and volcanoes - dormant, and not so. In Seattle we joined up with a group of friends for a 9 day trip around the Olympic Peninsula, the Columbia River Gorge more →

Not a Master

In my images I wish to impart something of my relationship with them, but not something entirely independent of them. more →

Endframe – “Iberia Quarries #3” by Edward Burtynsky

Once Upon a Time, before the internet and Amazon, there were bookshops that specialised in Photo books, and the best of these was Beyond Words in Edinburgh. Neil McIlwraith still runs Beyond Words as an excellent online service; nevertheless, it is hard not to feel a sense of loss for the sheer indulgent pleasure of browsing in a place devoted to the photographic image. On my last visit to (the analogue?) Beyond Words I acquired Edward Burtynsky’s book, more →
