The October issue of Australian Photography + digital is out now in newsagencies and on iPad.
The October issue of Australian Photography + digital is available now and is filled with 'how to' articles, photographer profiles, competitions and the latest news and reviews.
We talk to seascape specialist Susan Furber, reveal a treasure trove of lost photos from the first half of last century, explain Adobe Camera Raw’s most important controls, compare the latest image-editing apps, catch up with nature photographer Frans Lanting, and get the story behind a remarkable photo shot by Chris McLennan in the wilds of Alaska.
Expatriate Australian photographer Susan Furber gave away a career in the IT industry to move overseas and pursue her passion for seascape photography. She talks about her career transition and the techniques she uses to capture her calm, contemplative images.
Rob Ditessa outlines the complex story behind the discovery of thousands of historic photos of Australia that were taken by forgotten European photographer Emil Otto Hoppé. This classically trained professional undertook a tour of the southern continent in the 1930s and today his dramatic black-and-white shots provide an invaluable historic record of the life of ordinary Australians, including the indigenous population, between the two world wars. Experts say Hoppe was the first professional to attempt to record images over most of the Australian continent, but his images were left forgotten until several decades later, when a fortuitous turn of events led to their re-discovery.
In this month's image-editing project, 8 Things You Need to Know About Raw, Mark Galer shows you how to get better results from Adobe Camera Raw's most important controls including sharpening, noise reduction, cropping, clarity, snapshots and more.
