Tim Parkin has discovered landscape photography at a late age and is trying his best to make up for lost time. After a year spent with a digital SLR, his 40th birthday was a trip to the Hebrides in a viking long house with David Ward and Richard Childs (two of the best landscape photographers in the UK). The large format obsession that infected him over that week has culminated in a recent exhibit of one of his pictures at the National Theatre as part of the Landscape Photographer of the Year awards. Tim is looking forward to what surprises his third year in photography has in store. If you want to learn more about what makes Tim tick, you can read his blog and also a brief summary career history and path to landcape photographer in the about section.

I've been posting lots of articles and have just created an index of them which you can view here. Landscape Photographer Articles

Images will soon be available for sale directly through the website. In the interim please contact us by phone or email. Alternatively, check the News page or the blog for updates

Tim primarily works in Yorkshire including the dales and some moors but has made a few visits to Glencoe in Scotland and Northumberland. More pictures from the Peak District and Lake District soon.

Kodak Ektar - The Best Negative Film, I'm Posititve

As I mentione din the last post, there have been a couple of nice bits of news for large format and film photographers recently and one of these was about a new film stock (Wow! Woop! Huzzah!) which is astonishing for many reasons, primarily just because some marketing department somewhere must have said "Well fell busines peeps, we should really address these 4x5 and 10x8 markets, we don't want to miss out on all of that revenue and acclaim". However, the big question is, "WHAT IS IT LIKE!!" - well, althoug the tests on the internet I've seen have shown that it scans very well (with as much resolution as Velvia for instance) a lot of people have asked about how it looks in comparison to Velvia, after all it is pitched as the most saturated negative film available.  more

A Silver (halide) Lining

it's been a few weeks since I made a blog post, I've been caught up in building websites, learning about video, and also suffering from the general malaise that seems to come at this time of year. However, this does not mean that I have had no ideas for blog posts. Quite the contrary, it seems the less I blog, the more ideas I have. Anyway, I'm hoping to rectify this so here goes with the first one.  more

So what does the ipad mean..

So what does the iPad mean for photography? Well to begin with, pretty much nothing. There are hardly any quick wins for the platform over the iphone. It really is just a bigger, more powerful iphone. There are the obvious content creation and payment opportunities (witness the repurposing of so much content for the iphone) but beyond this, why does the form factor and interface matter? That screen real estate and portability does make me wonder, how long will it be until the iphone/ipod is targeted by a camera manufacturer as an external preview device?  more

Large Format Photography Workshops - Peak District

With some of the concern about the future of film raised in association with the discontinuation of Fuji quickload* it may come as a surprise that Dav Thomas and I are starting a set of large format photography workshops. Dav contacted me at the end of last year, asking if I was interested in these and my immediate answer was yes. Dav is a great photographer who is very knowledgeable about all things large format and also is a great, artistic photographer. And if Dav thinks I have enough to offer people who wish to start or extend their large format experience and who am I to argue!  more
