On the web:  Luminous Landscape

 by Patty Hankins and Bill Lawrence

Luminous Landscape (www.luminous-landscape.com) is a website devoted to the art and technique of landscape photography.  The website’s is run by Michael Reichmann, who regularly publishes his photographs, reviews, and tutorials on the site.  This is a great site for seeing interesting and provocative landscape photographs, with details of the shots, and frequently tutorials on how the shots were taken.  Take a look through the myriads of tutorials on digital and film photography techniques; it is a great place to help you work on your own photographic techniques.  The site has some slant towards Canon equipment and towards digital photography – the owner has replaced much of his medium format gear with Canon’s latest pro digital SLR camera (the 1Ds) after extensive testing – but most of the techniques discussed on the site are independent of type of photographic equipment.  The discussion forum is also a valuable place to visit; there is a wide variety of photograp

hic expertise represented in the forum posters.  This forum was where we first heard about Neat Image, also reviewed in this edition of our newsletter.

 The site does not receive any external commercial support.  It is funded through subscriptions to Michael Reichmann’s Video Journal, which is also worth checking out.  Regardless of whether or not you subscribe to the Video Journal, however, the site is a terrific source of information for those who want to improve their photography in general, and landscape photography in particular.
