All of the images originate in forest landscapes, but this book is not just comprised of a series of pretty woodland photos. Instead, it's a thoughtful and deep invitation to explore your inner self and unconscious mind. more

The photographer who created this image, Rafael Rojas, is a master at seeing, and takes great pleasure in teaching people how to see and to master the use of photography as a creative tool of personal expression. more
Suzanne describes herself as being very curious about the subjects she photographs. If followed, a high level of curiosity can lead to better photographs of even the most mundane of subjects. more
By the 19th Century, Sheffield’s rapid industrial expansion stimulated population growth, calling for a reliable water source to provide power for industry and to improve sanitation for residents, many of whom lived in squalid shared housing. Consequently, an ambitious programme of reservoir construction was undertaken. The Dale Dyke dam excavations began on 1st January 1859. On the evening of 11th March 1864, during a violent storm, a crack was spotted in the embankment of the recently completed Dale Dyke dam. more
I have always maintained throughout my life that I wanted to work at something I felt passionate about. I feel so lucky that photography has given me that platform. more
Most visual haiku images to be found are not linked to words, though there are examples where images have been used as a basis for haiku, or as in the Forms of Japan, existing haiku have been chosen to accompany an image. more
Some things that are lost are tangible, though no more precious than those bits of ourselves we lose along the way, like the inspiration that fled from my life when I chose career over creativity, stability to be free to stability from want and need. more

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
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
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
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
If you want to become a better nature photographer, you should dedicate more time to learning about your subject rather than photography. more

on Sketching Down in the Bottoms
I find it hard to believe that I would connect with a fellow photographer so familiar with my area through a UK online landscape photo journal. Amazing. I have been back to many of these places and am amazed by the changes from the seasonal flooding along the Connecticut. The past [...]

on Know thy Subject
Thanks for the nice thoughts that I can relate to a lot. There is only one thing that almost no nature photographer has taken a stand on. It is very fashionable to fly around the world with thousands of other nature photographers, none of whom think about how much they are [...]

on Is Intimate the new Grand?
As someone who has been making intimate landscape images for close to three decades it is, perhaps, heartening to hear that you feel they have now achieved widespread popularity. Like you, I began making them because I felt it was a powerful way to describe the landscape. However, your contention that photographers [...]
