Terra Silva
A project about forests and trees
sponsored by ..
While on a holiday with family in Bamburgh, I announced over dinner that I was quitting my job and was going to start a landscape photography magazine. I might not have got the reaction I expected (I should have known better) but even I didn’t realise at the time how much it would change my life. Initially, it was fun to immerse myself in writing and photography and explore lots of topics close to my heart. However, it was the people I met and the events we ran, including the very successful “Meeting of Minds” conference, that made things so satisfying. It also eventually prompted a move to the Highlands of Scotland (Hull not being the landscape photography mecca it’s PR department might hope for) for which I’ll always be grateful as our lives have been transformed by living between mountains and lochs.
Three hundred issues and fourteen years is a long time. The magazine is a bit of an unruly teenager at times, but we’ve got plans to upgrade things over the next year - nothing revolutionary - but enough to make it more of a pleasure to be a subscriber.
So I’d like to thank everybody who subscribes to On Landscape for demonstrating that a magazine doesn’t have to be all gear reviews and software guides and still keep on it’s feet. And to everyone who has written for us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our little Highland magazine work so well.

It was the fence that confused me. What in the world!? It took me a while to see it as a metaphor. The fence is a guardrail, a human artefact that "protects" us from seeing clearly or even directly interacting with the natural world beyond it. more
On Landscape Revisited
When I originally proposed the idea of On Landscape to my wife Charlotte over fourteen years ago, I would never have thought that it would have lasted as long as it has. On this 300th issue, I decided to take a look back at all of those previous issues to pick out some highlights for you to revisit (if you haven’t already). I’ve chosen a range of styles and genres of article, please let me know if you have more
Sandra Bartocha
I am a maximalist with strong opinions and a high demand for aesthetics, and I feel very strongly about the escapism quality of nature. My photographic world is full of light, colour and the small and mundane things in nature that are often overlooked. more
Any Questions, with special guest Mark Littlejohn
This months guest was Mark Litteljohn and we had a bunch of questions about his hand held photography and instinctual process, split toning, possible book ideas and more more
Know thy Subject
If you want to become a better nature photographer, you should dedicate more time to learning about your subject rather than photography. more
Terra Silva
Terra Silva are two Latin words. They loosely mean "the land of the forest". Since this project is about forests and trees and since my native language is a direct descendant of Latin, I thought it would be a fitting title. more
