  The medium-format camera market doesn’t get as much attention as it should. The drama in this sector of the industry over the last two years is worthy of a soap opera. New cameras and technical developments have come along, with resolutions hitting the 60 megapixel mark. Established br

Create your own Panorama

Some vistas are so beautifully expansive that a single shot with a wide-angle lens just won’t do it justice. Panoramas allow you to push the boundaries of the frame, leaving the photographer no longer restricted by how wide angle

Take This Shot: Landscapes

We’re lucky enough to have some of the most beautiful scenery in the world in the UK, but taking great landscape shots that capture the beauty of a location isn’t often easy: as with most things in life, practice makes perfect. Mak

Shooting fashion with the Leica X1

Yet again I have the priviledge of testing another beautifully engineered Leica this month: this time it's the small-but-perfectly formed X1. It looks and handles just like a miniaturised M9, with all of the controls you need right at your fingert
