From a satisfied reader
Outdoor Photographer is the essential how-to and
whereto magazine for the outdoor photographer. I
would recommend it for all levels of photographic
skill, although most discussions of technique are
suited to intermediate to advanced skill levels.
There is only occasional discussion of the most
basic techniques, as would benefit beginners. There
are, however, so many great ideas on where and what
to photograph that I think beginners can get a lot
out of the magazine as well. And you won't be a
beginner for long. The "outdoor" in the
title does not refer exclusively to nature photography.
Most of the magazine is dedicated to nature photography,
but there are frequent articles on travel, location,
and other sorts of outdoor photography, as well.
In Outdoor Photographer you will find how-to articles
on lighting, exposure, filters, gear, preparing
yourself and your gear for the elements -be they
arctic cold or rain forest heat and humidity, along
with some advice specifically for digital cameras
and the digital darkroom. And you will find this
information for everything from close-up to landscape
photography. Outdoor photographer focuses primarily
on 35 mm photography, with an occasional article
on medium format. The discussions of exposure, lighting
and locations are applicable to all formats of photography,
however. And there is George Lepp's monthly question
and answer column for those questions on just about
any photographic or digital imaging subject that
are not answered elsewhere.
And now for the best part. Outdoor Photographer
tells you where to get great outdoor photographs.
"Favourite Places" is a one-page feature
in every issue that tells you about a great place
in the United States to photograph, what there is
to see, and what time of the year is best. Be sure
to save those in case you ever have the time and
means to visit them all. In addition to "Favourite
Places" there are featured articles in every
issue that detail a place to photograph, how to
get there, what to take, what to photograph, etc.,
frequently written by well-known nature photographers
and accompanied by some of their terrific photographs.
I counted 3 such articles in the last issue of OP
that I received. If you are a photographer or hobbyist
who is able to travel a lot, Outdoor Photographer
is a terrific bargain just for the locations. And
if you don't travel much, it will help you photograph
your backyard and local parks and gardens well.
I have looked at many photography magazines - many
of them are just filled with ads....not what an
amateur is looking for. I wanted in-depth articles,
helpful tips and information to help me improve
my craft. I found it here. I read every issue cover
to cover and back again. I find helpful information
in every issue. I highly recommend this magazine
- even if you aren't purely an "outdoor"
photographer.
