Links And Recommendations
The famous Wanaka Tree in full bloom on a lovely spring morning.
There are few photography sites on the internet that I would personally recommend. Indeed they are only a handful of photography sites that I regularly return to. These are my favorites:
Stuck in Customs
My friend Trey Ratcliff has run his phenomenally successful Stuck in Customs site for a number of years.
Trey Ratcliff is a travel photographer, like me, and I very much like the cut of his jib. Some of Trey’s images are simply sublime.
Luminous Landscape
Luminous Landscape has been around for many years and is one of the world's preeminent photography websites.
A number of years ago I occasionally wrote articles on photography for the Luminous Landscape.
Over the years I particularly liked the camera reviews featured on the Luminous Landscape as they are presented in a non-technical and very accessible manner with an emphasis on the following:
Build quality
User interface
Ergonomics
Image quality
Camera Labs
Gordon Laing operates the amazing Camera Labs website.
Camera Labs is a camera review site that, in my opinion, knows no equal. Gordon's reviews are extremely thorough and written with great care.
Camera Labs is the website I think of when I want to do some online research prior to buying a new camera or lens.
My friend Vesa Loikas. A great photographer living and working out of Turku in Finland.
Vesa Loikas
Vesa Loikas is a fine art photographer from Finland who's work explores the interactions and relationships formed when nature, landscape, architecture and people come together within the same environment.
A wonderful guy to work with and a consummate professional you'll find the website of Vesa Loikas will provide you with a great introduction to his work.
Torben Kühle
Torben Kühle is a German photographer living in the far north of Norway.
A landscape and documentary photographer Torben's niche is photographing the night sky, particularly the Aurora Borealis and Torben has created a strong body of work that showcases this incredible phenomena.
Feel free to check out the photographs of Torben Kühle.
Les Saucier
A true southern gentleman Les Saucier produces nature based landscape images of exceptional beauty.
Les’s images are graceful, intimate studies of our natural world and I'd invite you to visit the website of Les Saucier for a dose of down home southern comfort.
Les also runs photography workshops in and around his base in the Southern Appalachians and, knowing Les as I do, I'd be happy to recommend his workshops to anyone living or traveling in that part of the world.
You can discover the silent beauty in his photographs at the website of Les Saucier.
Elizabeth Boatman
Neighborhood Travels is a website and blog operated by photographer Elizabeth Boatman.
Concentrating, for the most part, on destinations in and around California, Elizabeth weaves words and images together to tell the story of each site and her interpretations of it.
Sites visited include national parks, stately homes and historic trusts.
