Travel

Keith travels for the first time with only a rangefinder, visiting one of the most scenic places in California: the Monterey Peninsula.

Inspired by Australian photographer Peter Dombrovskis, John travels to Tasmania and renews his acquaintance with landscape photography

Is it possible to photograph a famous city without a dedicated camera? The author shows us his approach to capturing Beijing by iPhone

The intriguing story of the Swiss Roll, the long-lost Leica negatives brought back to life after 74 years, continues to mystify. Here is an update on an unsolved mystery...

The author uses both his Sony camera and his drone to capture stunning images on a photographic road trip through The Highlands.

More zoom lenses are being introduced which are lightweight but possess slow minimum apertures. Are we really sacrificing anything when buying such a lens? Keith puts one such lens, the Lumix 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom through its paces.

An inaugural photography competition, organized by The London Camera Exchange, has delivered some truly exceptional images. Both winners and runners-up have set a very high standard across multiple genres.

It was not until 2016 that we discovered Portugal. If you live in the Europe or the United Kingdom, Portugal is right up there with Spain as a top holiday destination. But living here on the other side of the planet, it is not high up our list of ‘must visit’ places…

Keith describes the third and final destination visited on his trip to the northwest coast of the United States. Seattle turns out to be not only cool but very photogenic.

It's been a long wait, principally due to difficulties sourcing materials as a result of the pandemic, but finally, here is the Leica 21mm Super-APO-Summicron-SL. I think we were all expecting the 24mm to be the sixth lens in the range (after the 90, 75, 50, 35, 28mm lenses), but perhaps 24mm has fallen out of favour.

Keith describes the second destination he visited on his trip to the West Coast of Canada. Victoria, BC and its famous Butchart Gardens prove to be superb settings for a travel photographer.

The Kimberley is an extraordinary place. First, it is vast, at 432,517 km2. Second, it is a true wilderness and very little of it is habitable. There are only three towns of any size and the population of the whole region is no more than 55,000, of which 40% are First Nation people who live predominantly in remote settlements…

Brand loyalty is something that Leica aficionados know all about. Many readers of Macfilos would never look at another brand, let alone buy an alien camera. But the Ricoh GR range inspires similar loyalty, as Jean Perenet tells us….

Part two of a photographic trip across the Southwest of the United States, beginning in Colorado, brings us all the way to California. Along the way, we get to enjoy some spectacular views of the Grand Canyon.

The Leica M11-P, announced last month, is the latest iteration of the customary “-P” version of the standard M digital. In June 2011, Leica brought us the M9-P, the first of these modern variants. It's now a tradition that the -P (said to be for “professional”) with its cosmetic and minor technical tweaks, follows on around 18 months after the base model. So it was with the M-P (Typ 240), the M10-P and now the M11-P...
