The beautifully compact Kowa

127 film supplies
B
ack in 2012 I wrote a feature
lamenting the passing of
127 film, 100 years after its
introduction. At the time this
was accurate, but I’m delighted to say that
limited supplies of the format are available
once more – although it doesn’t come
cheap at around £10 a roll.
My fondness for 127 cameras stems
from their compact size. They are often
little brothers to well-known models with
names such as the Baby Rolleiflex, the
Baby Ikonta and even the Baby Brownie.
The Komaflex-S looks like a scaled-down
version of the Kowa Six, a squarish
waist-level SLR, sometimes known as the
poor man’s Hasselblad. In fact, the larger

version came several years after this 127
camera, which was made around 1960.
The camera poses a few puzzles, not
least its name. The Kowa Camera Company
produced at least 20 cameras with ‘Kowa’
in the title, yet for some reason this one
has ‘Koma’ instead. Was this a simple
mistake in the transfer from drawing board
to factory floor or was there some logic
behind it? The puzzle continues when the
camera is put to use. I’ve handled many
cameras and most are intuitive to use,
but the Komaflex certainly isn’t. The
mechanism is delicate and intricate,
and the instruction manual repeatedly
emphasises the importance of following the
correct sequence of actions and not using
undue force at any stage. This is one of
the few cameras where I actually felt the
need to take the instructions with me

Tony’s late father holding a Contarex ‘Bullseye’
when I went out shooting, as it would seem
that a number of cameras have been
broken by getting the controls muddled up.
It’s quite a novelty to have a rollfilm SLR
that sits comfortably in the palm of your
hand, so it was no hardship taking it out
and about once I’d loaded it with a roll of
Efke 100 black & white film. I found that
the worry about doing things in the wrong
order and wrecking the camera detracted
somewhat from the pleasure of using it.
The Seikosha-SLV leaf shutter performed
well at all speeds, which range from 1sec
to 1/500sec, while the 65mm f/2.8
Prominar lens is nice and crisp, and would
certainly be up to the task of making
Superslides, the 4x4cm transparencies
that the manufacturers pushed in their
marketing of the Komaflex.
I shot a range of subjects, including my
dad (above). He was a skilled, self-taught
repairman and could strip down and service
a leaf shutter in short order. He died
recently and I wish he was around now, as
after a couple of years on the shelf the
Komaflex’s shutter has stopped working.
He could probably have fixed it for me.

New Books
The latest and best books from the
world of photography. By Oliver Atwell
© MARC RIBOUD
Marc Riboud
by Marc Riboud, Thames & Hudson, paperback,
£9.95, 144 pages, ISBN 978-0-50041-111-7
MARC Riboud has been a member of
the esteemed Magnum photo agency
for around three decades. Looking
through the images in this book, it’s
not difficult to see the mutual
attraction between photographer
and agency. Riboud’s black & white
reportage fits seamlessly into the
agency’s documentary ethos. Riboud’s work takes
us on a whirlwind tour of the world and its history.
In this volume, Riboud’s eye guides us across the
political geography of places such as China,
Vietnam and Bangladesh, and we find ourselves in
the grip of a man who is caught between the idea
of being repelled by war and violence, and the
overwhelming compulsion to document it, to learn
what drives our desire for conflict. The book
reproduces 62 images and each one tells a vital
narrative. Also worth noting is Riboud’s own
introduction to the book, which places the images,
as well as himself, in a crucial context. ★★★★★
Water
by Bernhard Edmaier, Prestel, hardback, £45,
224 pages, ISBN 978-3-79138-165-7
FROM above, our Earth can seem
like an undiscovered land, a territory
consisting of alien terra firma, with
colours and shapes that look almost
unreal. Bernhard Edmaier is a
photographer who has a natural
talent for seeking out the most
beautiful corners of our world and capturing them
from the air, all in an attempt to show us just how
astonishing the planet is. Here, Edmaier mixes things
up by showing us visions from both the air and the
ground, and hones his eye into its most vital element:
water. We find that the very thing we take for granted
has both the power to sustain and the power to
destroy. Even away from the heady themes, the
images themselves are works of magnificent beauty.
Edmaier has travelled extensively for this body of
work and as a result we have a captivating portrait
of our home. ★★★★★

Landscape
Photographer
of the Year
Take a view – Landscape
Photographer of the
Year was founded in 2006 by
well-known British landscape
photographer Charlie Waite
(left), with a total prize fund of
£20,000. The organisers also
publish a book of the best
entries and host an exhibition. Its sister
competition, USA Landscape Photographer of
the Year, is also well supported. ‘It’s impossible
to say what catches the judges’ eye and what
doesn’t – I couldn’t say, “Go and do this and
you will win”,’ says Waite. ‘One year, a little dog
at the end of a pier won it, another [year] it was
a stunning landscape of the Old Man of Storr in
Skye. We used to get a lot of images of sunsets
and sunrises, long exposures with glassy water
and boulders, but now there is a huge variety.’
That said, Waite reckons the most successful
entries adopt Ansel Adams’ maxim, ‘recognition
and previsualisation’ – recognising the essential
aspects of a landscape, evoking a concept
and then anticipating the final image before
shooting. ‘It’s about bringing recognition and
previsualisation together, and thinking about the
story about you are trying to tell,’ Waite notes.
As with most judges we spoke to, Waite
counsels against over-processing, and notes
that entries from the USA in particular have a
tendency to be a ‘bit too colourful’. Sensitive
composition and cropping are also crucial,
and it’s vitally important for entrants to
avoid common technical pitfalls, such
as lack of sharpness and blown-out
highlights (although Waite notes that
the latter is not such of an issue in
high-contrast black & white images).

Are you contemplating entering a photography competition this year,
but are unsure how to approach it? Judges and winners from some of
the UK’s most prestigious contests share their secrets for success

O
ver the past decade, there
has been an explosion in
the number of photography
competitions. In addition
to the well-established genre-based
contests, such as Travel and Wildlife
Photographer of the Year, more and
more organisations and businesses have
realised that setting up a competition
is a good way to create awareness and
positive PR. Everyone, from the Royal
College of Nursing and the National
Trust to scientific and industrial bodies,
is running themed contests, and websites
like www.photocontestinsider.com exist
to tell people about them. Competitions
have become money-making exercises,
too, as many now charge you to enter.
While some entrants may begrudge
having to cough up, winning a prestigious
award can be a fantastic way for
enthusiast photographers to raise their
profile, so it could be money well spent.
To boost your chance of success in 2016,
we’ve spoken to judges and winners from
some of the biggest and most popular
contests to get their insights and tips.

Joking aside, Coe’s point is picked up by
Philip Lee Harvey, crowned winner of the
2014 competition. ‘People think if they go

with amazing pictures. Well, yes and no. Will
they be different and reveal what you want to

Pink Lady Telling a sTory
Food Photographer
of the Year
Pink Lady Food Photographer of the
Year has grown exponentially, attracting
20,000 entries since its inception in 2011, as
well as some big-name judges including food
critic Jay Rayner and AP editor Nigel Atherton.
According to judge Elizabeth Galbraith (left),
‘Following fashion and trends is a big mistake
that entrants make. Sometimes it looks as
though holiday snaps have been submitted. If you’re entering
something shot on the hoof then it has to be exceptional.’
David Griffen, overall winner of the 2015 competition (see
image above), reveals the planning behind his success. He
explains, ‘This was the third time I’d entered, and I thought,
“Right, let’s treat this like any other job”. So I wrote my own brief,
starting by researching previous winners and trying to find a
theme. I felt the competition very much leaned towards food
and travel, so I decided to go out to Asia rather than raiding my

Now in its 51st year, WPOTY

competitions, and is organised by
the Natural History Museum.

a member of the judging panel,

Originality and
freshness are keys
to capturing the
eye of the judges
pictures are judged anonymously and without
the backstories – a picture must stand on its
own artistic merits, without words.
Also, the judges can only select from what is
entered, and unfortunately, few people take
original compositions featuring familiar subjects,
despite the fact that there are a lot of familiar
species that haven’t been photographed well or
often, and that includes plants. The advantage
lies with those who decide to concentrate on
new ways of seeing the familiar.’
www.wildlifephotographeroftheyear.com
Depending on the competition rules, you might
need to enter a portfolio of images, and this is an
area where many entrants fall down. ‘Often you
get three great images and a filler,’ says Chris Coe
of Travel Photographer of the Year. ‘Interestingly,
younger photographers seem better at shooting
to a brief. It’s always a good idea to get a fresh
pair of eyes to check your portfolio before
submitting.’ Again, this point is echoed by the
2014 winner Philip Lee Harvey (see images left):
‘For portfolios, you need to have a continuity of a
style and approach. It’s not enough to submit odd,
random shots – they need to have been thought
through as a narrative.’
Thinking in terms of a portfolio can be hard if
you are mainly used to doing standalone shots,
but ask yourself whether the narrative of the
sequence is strong enough to come over without
the need for captions. Another good tip is to do
prints of ‘possibles’ from your unedited portfolio
and hang them around the house. You might get
fresh insights into the image choice and order
after looking at them for a few days.

Processing guidelines
© antony crossfield
The nature of the competition you enter will determine
the policy on image editing and manipulation, so you
must read the rules carefully. There have been several
high-profile disqualifications for excessive tweaking in
contests that insist on accurate depictions of reality, and
the policy of Wildlife Photographer of the Year is typical.
‘The rules clearly state that no manipulation is allowed
beyond in-camera settings and normal processing –
certainly no additions or removals,’ says judge Roz
Kidman Cox. ‘But, of course, some people don’t read the
rules and a few try to break them. This is why finalists are
asked to submit their raw files (or original negatives if a
scan of a print) so comparisons can be made and
photographs that have been over-processed and break
the rules are disqualified.’
Interestingly, even in competition categories where
digital manipulation is allowed, more ‘realistic’ images
often succeed over those that have been heavily
processed. A good example is ‘Bomb’ (above), Antony
Crossfield’s image of a man bomb-diving into the sea,
which won the Enhanced category in the 2015 Sony
World Photography Awards. ‘Lots of my work involves
complex post-production, but this was done in a subtle

way,’ he explains. ‘It didn’t look like Photoshop
grandstanding and people still ask me how I shot it!’

Insight
Astronomy
Photographer
of the Year
With astrophotography more popular
than ever, it’s no surprise that this
contest, co-organised by the Royal
Observatory Greenwich, attracts an
astronomical number of entries. ‘I
have been a judge since 2009, and
the thing that really gets judges is the
initial “Wow!” moment when you first
see a great entry,’ says astronomer and judge Dr
Marek Kukula (above). He continues: ‘So we’re
talking about great colour, composition, and a really
interesting science angle and story.’ Kukula also
reckons clichéd images and over-processing are a
big turn-off. ‘Some processing is OK and we are not
draconian about it, but really garish colours in the
aurora borealis, for example, stick out,’ he reveals.
Kukula is also keen to emphasise that potential
entrants shouldn’t rule themselves out if they don’t
have any jaw-dropping vistas of distant galaxies – as
you can see from the winning images from previous
years, a wide variety of approaches are welcomed.
www.rmg.co.uk
APOY ahoy!
Of course, no article
on competitions would be
complete without mentioning
Amateur Photographer of the
Year (APOY), the UK’s most
prestigious contest for
amateurs. ‘APOY has been
running for nearly two decades
and it’s quite astonishing seeing the quality of
images that flood in,’ notes judging panel
member Oliver Atwell (above). ‘It just goes to
show that amateur photographers can easily
compete with professionals. If you look at the
Sony World Photography Competition, the
Open (amateur) category stomps all over the
Professional category. Amateurs haven’t been
infected with all the restraints, both technical
and theoretical, that can restrict professionals.’

So why do a lot of entries fail to get winner, submitted
shortlisted? ‘We often see the same old some stunning
entries
scenes,’ he says. ‘Also, and I can only speak for
myself, I tend to go for images that are a little
ambiguous in nature, images that feel almost
like they’re part of a mystery. I want to look
closer and explore, allowing a kind of narrative
to develop, drinking in the atmosphere and
letting my mind explore the possibilities. This
is probably because I come from an art
background, whereas a lot of the other judges
are professional photographers and have years
of understanding of how to take the perfect
landscape. Our differing approaches create a
nice balance, so we have a pretty even spread
of styles throughout the competition.’

It’s been published continuously
since autumn 1916, when US
Vogue’s proprietor, Condé
Montrose Nast, was facing
problems exporting the magazine

restrictions. His solution was to
create a separate British version.
Since then, it has developed a

Anne Gunning was a fashion model
in the 1950s and this image was
taken during the fashion team’s first
shoot in India. ‘Norman Parkinson is
a photographer Vogue can sort of call
its own,’ says Muir. ‘He worked a little
for other magazines, but Vogue took
him on around 1942 and he shaped
the way the magazine looked until the
1960s. I think this photograph is an
extraordinary and beautifully balanced
colour image. You get all the colour
of India in that photograph.’
‘The Second Age of
Beauty is Glamour’
by Cecil Beaton, 1946

‘Beaton began his Vogue career
in 1924, and his association with the
magazine lasted until the end of the
1970s, shortly before his death,’ says
Muir. ‘His pictures were mostly highly
artifice-infused black & white work,
but he was also very adept at using
colour. This photograph features
a red ensemble by designer Norman
Hartnell and the colours are stunning.
It’s not a well-known Beaton shot,
but I hope it’s one that people will
come away remembering. We couldn’t
find out the model’s name, but we’re
hoping someone will come to the
exhibition and tell us who it is.’

Over the past century, Vogue

Dior, Chanel and Mary Quant, worn

Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Christy
Turlington, Kate Moss and Naomi
Campbell. As two new exhibitions

but it’s a task that Muir relished.
‘This is an opportunity for me
to show Vogue’s greatest hits,’ he
says. ‘People will see famous

Moss, the evergreen supermodel

who made her first appearance on
a Vogue cover in 1993, is shot here
by Mario Testino. ‘To my mind, Mario is
one of the giants of late-century fashion
photography in Britain,’ says Muir.
‘There’s an exuberance to his work, an
exultation in the sheer glory and fun of
fashion photography, which resonates
with people and is an important
element in the magazine. He’s an
enormously important figure and I think
that will come out in the exhibition.’

familiar images. I hope

the journey through the
magazine’s history will show people
pictures they recognise and ones
they didn’t know before.’
The roll call of photographers
whose work has been published in
the magazine is impressive. As well
as Horst and Hoyningen-Huene,
in the magazine’s early decades
contributors included Edward
Steichen, Cecil Beaton and Man
Ray. After the Second World War,
Vogue reflected a new age in fashion
with work by Norman Parkinson,
Helmut Newton, David Bailey
and Lord Snowdon.
In more recent years, a new
generation of photographers such
as Mario Testino, Nick Knight,
Patrick Demarchelier, Corinne
Day and Juergen Teller have
reinvented fashion photography
in their own distinctive ways.
‘These are the great names,
not just of Vogue’s history, but of
photography in the modern age,’
Muir continues. ‘Vogue has attracted

such extraordinary talent. All the

famous names are there, plus
some who have slipped from view.’

Wider cultural life

However, Muir is keen to stress
that from its earliest years Vogue
has always been more than simply
a fashion magazine and has
reflected and embraced wider
cultural life. ‘It’s not just about
clothes and frivolity,’ says Muir,
‘it’s about world events in some
instances.’
Vogue has always featured
portraits as well as pin-ups, and
it has included a surprisingly
diverse range of famous people in its
pages. They include writers Dylan
Thomas, Sir John Betjeman and
Martin Amis, film directors David
Lean and Alfred Hitchcock, public

perception that Vogue is aiming
for a certain moneyed stratum,
but that’s not so much the case
now. It’s for everybody. There’s as
much emphasis on affordable high-
street clothes as on high fashion.’
Muir also points out that British
Vogue was the first-ever
mainstream magazine to put a
black model on the cover: Donyale
Luna, shot by David Bailey in 1966.
‘The magazine has always had a
slightly schizophrenic quality,’ Muir
continues, ‘in the sense that it wants

cultural life, but it also wants to sell
dreams and appeal to people with
money who want to buy things.’
Exhibition selection
The Condé Nast archive is
estimated to hold more than
a million images, so how did
Muir select the 280 prints in the
exhibition? ‘It was alternately a
wonderful experience and also
a rather desperate one,’ he admits.
‘What do you choose to leave out?
It’s very difficult when you’re
confronted by deciding

▲Chaplin was one of the world’s most famous film stars,
at the top of his game when Steichen’s studio portrait was
made. The low-angled light casts his shadow on a white
board, suggesting a cinema screen. ‘Steichen didn’t really
like photographing celebrities,’ says Muir, ‘but he said
that Chaplin was his favourite subject because he was
animated and interesting and not like the average vain
film star. He photographed him several times.’

‘Ultimately, every photograph
was chosen first and foremost
because it’s a great photograph.
It’s fine if it shows an unknown

show who is there because we
felt they ought to be there. There
are many famous people from the
past century who have appeared
in the magazine but who aren’t
represented because the
photographs aren’t good enough.’
Back in time
One problem Muir had to overcome
was that the British Vogue archive
doesn’t extend back a full century,
but instead only goes back to 1943.
That’s because in 1942 there was
a drive for people to recycle paper
for the war effort. The magazine
took a lead and pulped virtually
its entire photographic archive,
including countless prints.
‘That decision makes a point
about how photography at
the time was perceived in the
commercial world,’ says Muir.
‘It was there for a purpose,

‘A s Vogue is still a living-and-

it all started in 1916,’ explains Muir.
‘We go from large and very colourful

 Adrian Clarke has dedicated much of his
life to photographing the birds of Britain. He
talks to Oliver Atwell about the techniques
that help him capture the majestic beauty
of these common creatures

O
ne of the most
satisfying aspects of
photography is that
moment when you
finally find your niche. Starting
out, a quick glance through your
portfolio will reveal myriad
styles and genres all vying for
the viewer’s attention. However,
as time goes on a photographer
will begin gradually to whittle
down their interests and focus
their attention on the genre
that most appeals. For some it’s
street photography, for others
landscapes. But there are many
who find themselves falling
into the infinite rewards of
wildlife photography, a genre
that can help bring a person much
closer to the natural world.
One such individual is Stafford-
based photographer Adrian
Clarke, who is building up an
impressive portfolio of bird
photography. Many of his images
are notable for their low-key and
minimalist style – a method that
introduces a unique level of
character and atmosphere into his
subjects. Adrian is also a father of
three children, including twins
who have cerebral palsy, epilepsy
and special educational needs. In
this way, photography offers a
respite from the stresses of family
life and a therapeutic outlet
for his creative talents.

 wildlife

‘I started photography when

I was a kid, but for one reason
or another took a lengthy break,’
says Adrian. ‘When I returned I
was fairly aimless with what I was
shooting. I just wanted to get back
into the practice and experiment
with a variety of styles and
techniques. I’ve always been
drawn to nature, so a lot of this
took place within the landscape
and marshes around my home.
Between shots I began to notice
the wildlife, particularly the birds,
and started making a note of their
patterns of behaviour. It was a
very calming thing to observe.
‘Each species has its own traits
and personality. It’s a real challenge
to represent their individuality in
ways that I find interesting and
different. Eventually, I found
I was shooting more birds than
landscapes. I then began changing
my skills and equipment to reflect
that. It also doesn’t hurt that I’m
lucky enough to have a wetlands
nature reserve five minutes from my
door, so even if I have limited time
accessibility is pretty easy.’

Visual appeal
Of all the birds Adrian encounters
on his days out shooting, he has a
particular affinity for herons. The
first time he saw one, he was
impressed by its size and grace.

When he finally got close enough

to watch one fish, he was struck by
the speed and ferocity of its catch
contrasted against the calm and
dignified hunt that preceded it.

faster than you will
ever be… how it holds its neck,’ says Adrian.
‘I usually try to avoid taking lots of
photos of the same bird, whether it’s
one popping his head out of the grass
or sitting peacefully by the riverside.’
As anyone who has tried their
hand at bird photography will tell
you, there are many pitfalls. It really
isn’t the easiest task and can only
come from a dedication to the craft.
‘The pitfalls are that herons – in
fact, any bird species – are faster
than you will ever be,’ adds Adrian.

speed makes it very ‘They’re certainly better at hiding

camouflage and some field skills
help, but unless you’re in a hide
you’re kidding yourself if you think
they can’t see you.’
Adrian says it’s also difficult
getting yourself into a position
where you can compose the image
to achieve what you want from it.
This is where patience and
observation come into play.
‘I have to be honest, those qualities
are my weaknesses,’ Adrian admits.
‘While I respect photographers
who can camp in a hide all day for
a shoot, I find it hard. I do intend
to give it another try this year, as
I always find myself thinking
I’m missing something. This
working method has served me
well so far. Most of my best shots
have been hit and run.’

 wildlife

Adrian identifies an unusual

influence in his work – that of
Armenian-Canadian portrait
photographer Yousuf Karsh,
whose uniquely lit black & white
portraits truly bring out the
character of the sitter. ‘Karsh
inspired me to use a similar
approach to wildlife,’ says Adrian. ‘I
like working in this way because it
isolates the subject and creates a
more intimate feel. A lot of wildlife
shots have a straight-out-of-camera
look. There’s nothing wrong with
that, it’s just that when I edit
I’m trying to make an artistic
representation of how I was feeling,
or perceived the moment to be,
when I pressed the shutter.’

Getting the look

Adrian says that shooting in a
low-key style demands that he must
see the scene as such. You must look
for contrasts between the subject
and background that can be
exploited in processing, although
there are likely to be varying
degrees of success. Using exposure
compensation means you can go
up and down over the course of a
few shots and select the best.
‘My workflow is a little convoluted,
but it works for me,’ says Adrian. ‘It
could be that others have a much
simpler approach. I import the
images to Lightroom and cull them
down to the ones that stand out to
me. I then open them in Photoshop
and apply a clean-up action. Once
this is done, I’ll use a selective blur
on the areas I want to de-emphasise
before taking it back to Lightroom,
which I find easier for the next
step. I’ve saved a few presets of the
looks I use most, which I’ll preview
before deciding on the final
effect. After that, it’s a case of

Keeping it simple Above: By not

Adrian says that it’s a good any distress, it was
easy to gain its
technique as it cuts out any trust, especially
unnecessary distractions and allows as these birds
the viewer to concentrate on the are very inquisitive
composition and story of an image.
‘A lot of my work is fairly dark in
feel, and I’m especially fond of black
& white,’ he says. ‘I put this down to
the fact that I started shooting
images back at school on a Praktica
MTL5 loaded with black & white
film. I remember once posting a
black & white image of a heron
on a photography forum, which
seemed to really offend the “wildlife Right: Look for
contrasts between
crew” for what seemed to be no the subject and the
other reason than it being black & background that
white. It actually spurred me on to you can exploit

playing with the sliders until
I get the image I want.’
Adrian uses mainly the blacks,
shadows, contrast and highlights to
darken the image or background,
and then the adjustment brush to
highlight or tone down areas until
he achieves the look he wants. He
says it’s also worth knowing that the
colour saturation sliders can be
useful in some situations on a black
& white conversion, particularly the
greens and yellows. Sometimes it’s
as simple as a applying a gradient or
radial filter. He says the new dehaze
feature is great for adding a foggy/
matt look.
It may feel as though Adrian is
neglecting a couple of vital features,
things that some photographers
spend weeks pursuing: light and
weather. ‘While it’s nice to have good
light and weather, you can find
something interesting and unique
whatever nature throws at you,’ he
says. ‘I hear too many people
complaining about how the light is
“no good”. Some of my favourite
shots have been on dismal days –
sometimes you just have to look at
things differently. That said, the
weather does have an effect on how I
edit the images, and I try to convey
that through the feel of a shot.’
Bird behaviour
Many photographers will tell you
how important it is to understand
the behaviour pattern of your
subject, to work out their routine.
As Adrian says, it’s important to
know how far you can push it when
32
approaching a subject so as not to
cause distress. This will allow the
photographer to find out a little
more about the birds’ behaviour. It
also helps judge what kind of shot
you can expect, especially if you
know their feeding habits.
‘For example,’ Adrian says, ‘when I
caught a shot of a robin perched on
my camera [see page 31], I had a
pretty good idea I would be able to
achieve it without distressing the
bird because I knew robins are
inquisitive animals. They can be
seen in gardens and allotments,
following gardeners around for
worms as they dig. The robin spent
quite a bit of time in and out of my
camera bag and on my knee, so it
only needed a little encouragement
to model for me. It was one of those
experiences that keeps me going; a
moment of trust from the bird gave
me a great feeling and a good shot
as the result. A great book to read is
Wildlife Photography Field Skills
and Techniques by Paul Hobson.
That book taught me a lot.’
Local life
When asked about his local area,
Adrian says: ‘Stafford has so much
to offer and I’ve barely scratched the
surface. There are so many little
villages with interesting lanes and
churches, and there are great
landscape opportunities and the
wildlife is varied. As for my usual
haunts, Doxey Marshes has so much
wildlife you could spend an entire
day there. The area has two
purpose-built hides and a good

path. Once there, you’ll see
buzzards, kingfishers, finches,
geese, egrets, cormorants, ducks,
buntings and, of course, herons.
They’re visible all year round. As for
migrants, there are lapwings, snipe,
redwings and stonechats, to name a
few. There are also otters, foxes,
rabbits and water voles, but they are
very wary. The one thing I’d say is
remember to take wellington boots
as it’s prone to flooding.
‘I’d also have to recommend a visit
to Staffordshire Wildlife Trust’s
‘You can find headquarters at Wolseley Bridge
something near Rugeley. It has a 26-acre site
interesting and with walks, a sensory garden, a

River Trent. It’s also got great
wheelchair access to a good portion
of the grounds, so we enjoy taking
the kids there to experience nature.
This is a good local spot for
kingfishers and there’s always
something to see all year round. It’s
best to arrive early, but most of the
wildlife is used to people.’

Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 on the 5D

length or aperture, or if I’m carrying

sometimes take my Canon

get a nice landscape shot.’

interesting,’ says
Adrian, ‘because of
their markings and
the way the same
bird can look
completely different
depending on how it
holds its neck’

A typical day
‘I take two approaches: my “work”
routine and my “play” routine,’ says
Adrian. ‘My work routine is the hour or
half hour I have on my way to work, or
on my lunch break (this will change soon,
as I’m being made redundant). On those
days I will cycle through the marshes,
stopping to check some of the usual
spots to see what’s about. I’ll have a
quick scout around with the binoculars
to decide if there’s anything worth
giving some time to. If not, I’ll move on.
‘I’ve got a pretty good feel now for the
areas and routines, and what to expect,
but it can be a little frustrating when you
spot something just as you have to leave.
This is good for a challenge as it’s the
same places and animals, so I look for
ways to make it a bit different. It’s very
rare I plan shots, but I always keep my
eyes open for points of interest that
could give opportunities in different
weather or lighting conditions.
‘My play routine is when I get a day
to myself and I’ll tend to go a little
further afield. I’ll check the bird news
tweets to see if there’s anything of
interest nearby, but a lot of the time I’ll
have a look on Google Maps, pick a spot
and explore a new area, just wander
round and see what the day brings.
Sometimes it’s good, sometimes bad,
but it fulfils my urge to get outdoors
and check for points of interest that
might be worth a return visit.’

Time to visit
Holkham Bay is an
all-year-round location,
but for me it is at its most
beautiful in autumn and
winter when it has a real
sense of wildness.
In summer a wonderful
carpet of sea lavender
appears on the
saltmarshes, but at that
time of year the bay can be
very busy with visitors.
First or last light is the
best time of day to shoot,
and on a stormy winter day
look for opportunities in
the woodland, such as the
incredible twisted shapes
of some of the pine trees.
If you can plan a visit with
a high tide you may see
Holkham Gap fill with
tidal waters, which is an
incredible sight, but do
respect the tide – it is

own kids. What’s remarkable
is that the daughters have all
been more successful – they’re
all university educated,
teachers, and so on. The sad
thing is, not specific to her but
for other women, the men often
face long prison sentences and
when they’re released they
decide to take another wife –
usually much younger.
It’s important to realise that
women shouldn’t be more
vulnerable in war. There are
laws that protect not just
women but civilians.
Culturally, I think that
unfortunately women have
often been targeted for
particular aspects that take
place in war. It might even be
in terms of legal redress – for
example, a woman whose
husband goes missing often
can’t inherit the land.
A strong part of the project
was not just to give women a
voice but for change to take
place culturally, and legally in
terms of protection afforded to
women – that changes should
be implemented. And that’s
what this project was about:
advocating change and
seeking further protection
for women.

This is the first time this touring exhibition has been shown in the UK. The prints
are not particularly large – most are 50x77cm. i want a sort of intimacy; i want you
to ‘get into’ the picture rather than stand back and look at it. i want the viewer to be
up there, in front of the images. None of the photographs are cropped – that’s how i
shot them, which is really important to me. They’re all shot on wideangle lenses, so
i’m very close to the people. in a sense, i want people to be at the same distance
they were shot at – the distance they’ll stand when looking at them. in the captions
there’s a little bit of their story – a way of drawing you into each individual’s story.
Eleven Women Facing War is on show at the imperial War Museum in
London until 24 April. Admission is free. Visit www.iwm.org.uk.

visual symmetry
The contrast was increased and exposure darkened in the original image

Jama Masjid Mosque Tony Beane
Canon EOS 5D, 28-135mm, 1/200sec at f/7.1, ISO 320
TONY saw Abhilash Surendran’s
picture of the Jama Masjid
Mosque in our 9 January issue
and sent in some images of his
own from a visit he made to this
magnificent building in Delhi,
India. Abhilash photographed
the whole façade of the building,
with pigeons taking flight in the
foreground, but Tony has moved
in closer to find something of the
life that goes on in the nooks and
crannies of the building.
I really like this shot of two
gentlemen having a chat, with the
wonderful stonework and archway
framing them so well. The colour
of the stone is fantastic, and the
soft light picks the action out well,
showing the depth of the scene
without plunging anything into
deep shadow – well, except the
face of the man on the steps.
Exposing this scene would have
been quite tricky, as we want to
maintain detail both in the faces
as well as in the white robes of the
reclining man. This is where raw
files come into their own.
Tony tells me he increased
the contrast of his original and
darkened the exposure. I think he
needed to reduce the contrast
and increase the exposure very
slightly. Reducing contrast lifts
shadows and reduces highlights,
while a little midtone curve can
give us the separation we need
to make things stand out.
It’s a shame that in a shot that
demands symmetry there is more
mosque on the left of the men
than on the right. That imbalance
distracts me and takes my
concentration away from what I
should be looking at. I’ve added a
bit more to the right to show what
the picture may have looked like
had Tony squared it up at the time.
It is a lovely shot either way,
and very well seen, so Tony
wins my picture of the week
award. Well done – now I want
to go there too!

BEFORE AFTER

An extremely adept photograph of an impressive location This edited version brings out the dramatic characteristics of the rugged landscape

Landscape Adrian Olsen Adrian is effectively saying, ‘Oh,

Fujifilm X-T1, 10-24mm, 1/220sec at f/13, ISO 200
I THINK it’s very hard to make a
good landscape. It’s much more
difficult than most people think,
and a constant source of
frustration for the self-assessing
photographer. I find the most
frustrating aspect of shooting
landscapes is the difference
between the drama, beauty and
splendour of nature’s hand and
the poor imitation on the rear
screen of my camera. In so many
other areas of photography we try
to make what is in front of us look
better, but often in landscape
photography we are trying to keep
up with the subject.
Adrian has certainly found a
good location to shoot, and he
must have been a good boy in the
weeks leading up to his expedition
because his gods have given him
the perfect day. It is a lovely
scene and has been accurately
photographed. The picture lacks
something, though.
look – that’s nice,’ but not really
saying what it is that caught his
attention or should catch ours.
A closer look reveals some
remarkable features that he could
have made more of an effort to
point out – the dramatic cliffs, the
delightful reflections on the water,
the clouds, the contours and
ruggedness of the landscape, and
that dart of snow that busts into
the left of the frame. The camera
needs our help to emphasise the
exciting parts, so the viewer can
be enthused. You can read lines
from Shakespeare in a monotone
or with feeling and gusto. They will
be the same lines, but they’ll
sound very different.
I’ve made a slightly different
version of Adrian’s image that
emphasises the characteristics I
mentioned earlier. I had to do it
using software, but Adrian could
have done a lot of it with exposure,
viewpoint as well as in-camera
colour and contrast controls. My
version may be a step too far for
some people, but I wanted to show
how differently the same scene
could be presented.

dancer and the harsh, crumbling,

the idea that we can look out of the

depth to the frame and gives us an

The problem, though, is that while
there seems to be plenty of light
streaming in through those windows,
the dancer isn’t benefiting from any
of it – she rather blends into the
background, instead of standing out
so we can see her. There is a lovely
bit of light on the side of her face

The latest photography kit and
technique at your fingertips

Good-value macro
sliders are available
from Amazon or eBay

I REMEMBER when I first started getting interested in macro

photography, and found that focusing on extreme close-ups was far
from straightforward. Articles on the subject often suggested putting
the camera on a tripod and using a macro slider (also known as a
focusing rail) to move it back and forth to fine-tune focus, but there was
no way I could justify spending the £100 or more they cost at the time.
Now, of course, we live in a globalised economy and it’s possible to
get much cheaper kit online from Amazon or eBay. Among the many
photographic products leaving Chinese factories are inexpensive macro
sliders that are sold under various guises. The ones we’re looking at
here are branded Fotomate, but identical-looking products can be had
either unbranded or under other names.
The basic design is simple: the metal base screws onto your tripod
head, and has a sliding metal plate on top. This has a large rubberised
platform to hold the camera securely, with sliding 1⁄4in screws allowing it

to be positioned however you need. Rotating a large knob on the base
moves the plate back and forwards using a rack-and-pinion system; a

t’s 6pm on a Friday, and
it’s usually around this time
that I finish up at the office
and take a ten-minute stroll
to the station to catch a train home.
Tonight isn’t any ordinary Friday
in London, though, and instead of
walking through Waterloo Station’s
congested concourse I find myself
wandering onto a deserted
platform in Bewdley, a small
Georgian town in Worcestershire,
where smoke gently rises from
the chimney of the booking office,
and lights illuminate the elegant
canopies and station footbridge.
The reason for being so far
from home is to visit the Severn
Valley Railway, where tonight I’m
attending a photo charter that aims
to recreate scenes of a bygone age
for those who’d like to challenge
their photographic ability and
capture a series of timeless shots
that only a minority of
photographers have the
opportunity to take. Twilight is
rapidly fading, it’s bitterly cold, and
if I weren’t already going to be
challenged enough by tonight’s
conditions I’m going to be using a
camera I’m not entirely familiar with
when it comes to shooting in low
light. My camera of choice is the
Sony Alpha 7R II, which I’ve been

and I wander to the station café to
register and receive a quick safety
briefing with the others attending
tonight before getting started.
As I make my way to the first
scene of the evening, I don my
high-visibility jacket, and with
the permission of the event’s
co-ordinator I clamber down
beside the platform and nestle
between two other photographers.
The organiser of tonight’s photo
shoot has kindly laid on some
temporary additional lighting to
help illuminate the scene, but with
limited time to get the shot, I have
to work quickly. The added light in
this scene allows me to drop the
sensitivity to ISO 1,600 and stop
the lens down to f/11.

hindsight, I could have installed

It’s not until you push a camera

 Testbench LENS TEST
Samyang 21mm
f/1.4 ED AS UMC CS
Michael Topham samples Samyang’s latest
manual-focus prime lens, which is designed
with today’s mirrorless users in mind
T
he growing number of mirrorless
models on the market has seen
a gradual rise in the number of
third-party lenses produced for
smaller system cameras. Samyang is one of the
latest manufacturers to add a pair of lenses to
its mirrorless line-up and we’ve recently taken
delivery of the 21mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC CS
and the 50mm f/1.2 AS UMC CS. Both lenses
are compatible with Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X,
Micro Four Thirds and Sony E mounts, and in
this test we’re focusing on the wider of the two.
Designed for those who’ll appreciate its fast
aperture and wide focal length, the 21mm
f/1.4 ED AS UMC CS shares the same optical
design as Samyang’s 21mm T1.5 ED AS
UMC CS. The latter is squarely aimed at
video users and differs slightly from the lens
we’re looking at here in the way it features a
de-clicked aperture ring for silent operation,
56
as well as a distance scale and T numbers on
both sides of the lens. Mounted to a mirrorless
camera featuring an APS-C-sized sensor,
the 21mm f/1.4 is equivalent to 31.5mm,
whereas it’s comparable to a 42mm fixed lens
attached to a Micro Four Thirds body. Before
examining our lab results, let’s first familiarise
ourselves with the key features.
Features
Whereas the Samyang 50mm f/1.2 ED AS
UMC CS conceals an optical construction of
nine elements in seven groups, this wider
21mm f/1.4 lens features an arrangement
of eight elements in seven groups. It has
a nine-blade aperture to ensure out-of-focus
points of light (or bokeh) are rendered circular,
and the ED and AS abbreviations in its name
reveal it benefits from an extra-low dispersion
lens and as many as three aspherical lenses to
20 February 2016 I www.amateurphotographer.co.uk I subscribe 0330 333 4555
To achieve pin-sharp
results, you’ll want to put
your camera’s manual focus
assist settings to good use.
For this shot, focus peaking
and a magnified screen
view were used
minimise colour aberrations and ensure high
contrast across the frame at all apertures.
On top of this, Samyang has implemented
its ultra multi coating (UMC) technology to
abolish any effects of flare and ghosting.
The key difference between this optic and
other lenses for mirrorless cameras is that it
is manual focus only and features no optical
stabilisation. There are no metal contacts at
the rear of the mount to form an electronic
connection between the camera and lens,
either, meaning the Exif data recorded by the
camera won’t offer any information about
the focal length or aperture used. Those who
regularly use filters will appreciate the internal
focusing system that prevents the front
element from extending or rotating when the
manual-focus ring is rotated. Users who plan
to screw in filters or adapter rings can do so
via the lens’s 58mm filter thread. Another key
point to note is the lens’s ability to focus within
28cm of a subject when working closely.
Build and handling
Smaller and lighter than Samyang’s DSLR
lenses, 21mm f/1.4 upholds a strong and solid

Our review sample was supplied in X-mount and was paired with Fujifilm’s X-T10 for the purpose of our test
build quality, which implies it’ll endure frequent
use and is built to last. The anodised red ring
synonymous with Samyang lenses is found
towards the rear of the barrel between the
manual-focus and aperture rings. I would have
preferred it if both of these were rubberised,
but then again I had no complaints with the
finely grooved surface of both rings, which
provided sufficient grip throughout my testing.
As is to be expected from a manual-focus lens,
there’s not a single button or switch in sight.
The manual-focus ring offers a pleasing fluid
motion that’s consistently smooth across the
focus range, while the aperture ring clicks and
notches into place as it’s rotated.
There’s half-stop adjustment between the
aperture settings, which are printed on the
barrel rather than engraved, and the plastic
petal-shaped lens hood is clearly marked
with a white dot to help align it with the lens.
Image quality
The lens backs up its robust build with
impressive image quality. The edges of images
appear very slightly softer than the centre
at f/1.4, but there’s an increase in sharpness,
both in the centre and at the edge, at f/2 and
f/2.8 to where it plateaus between f/3.5 and
f/5.6. The best balance between centre and
corner sharpness is recorded at f/5.6, and it’s
only when the lens is stopped down beyond
f/11 to the smaller apertures of f/16 and f/22
that the introduction of diffraction starts to
take its toll on sharpness. Corner shading is
apparent when the lens is used at its widest
aperture, but it quickly starts to disappear
when the lens is closed towards f/2.8. Our
distortion chart flagged up minor barrel
distortion, but as my real-world images
revealed you’d be hard pressed to notice
it and therefore it shouldn’t be of concern.
Chromatic aberrations are well controlled
too, with only minor purple fringes of colour
appearing along high-contrast edges
when shooting towards the sun.

Our verdict
WHEN you consider the quality of its build,
the quality of the images it produces and its
reasonable price, there’s a lot to like about
the Samyang 21mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC CS.
Whether it makes a great buy for you will
depend a lot on the type of images you like
to take. For action or spur-of-the-moment
shots where instantaneous focus is key, you
may struggle to find optimum focus fast
enough and it’s in these types of situations
you want your lens to support autofocus.
If, however, you regularly take shots of
stationary subjects, lock your camera off
on a tripod or generally find that you have
time to refine your focus settings manually
before committing to firing the shutter, this
lens makes a very strong case for itself.
There’s a delightful depth to images at
f/1.4, which is particularly pleasing on the
eye. The fast aperture also comes into its
own when you’re in need of a few extra
stops in low light. If you’d

Resolution
The resolution of this lens is extremely impressive
as is clearly illustrated in our Applied Imaging
tests. The graph tells us the sharpness in the
centre at f/1.4 is excellent and only gets better
when it’s closed to f/5.6. Users can be confident of
closing the lens down to f/11 when needed. Beyond
f/11 the centre and corner sharpness drops due to
the introduction of diffraction, so it’s recommended
to avoid f/16 and f/22 when it’s possible to do so.
21mm centre 21mm corner
Shading
The key attraction of this lens is its fast aperture
and users will find themselves exploiting it to
create an extremely shallow depth of field. Corners
appear approximately 1EV darker than the centre of
the frame at f/1.4. Stopping the lens down to f/2
sees an immediate improvement and by the time
you reach f/2.8 all traces of vignetting disappear.
21mm f/1.4 21mm f/2.8
Curvilinear distortion
The lens puts in a superb performance when it
comes to rendering straight lines. Those who want
an entirely distortion-free image will do best to
install and use a ready-made lens profile rather
than attempting to remove it manually, which could
increase the risk of introducing pincushion distortion.

Canon replacement
A question of priorities Q I’m currently using a
Canon EOS 5D Mark III,

Q After ten years with my

trusty old Canon EOS 5D,
I have recently updated to
the EOS 6D, taking advantage of
the January sales. It’s an amazing
camera and a big upgrade, but
a few things are confusing me.
One setting I’m trying to
understand is ‘highlight tone
priority’. Canon seems to be saying
that if I turn this on, I’ll magically
get more highlight detail. This
sounds great, as I often used to
have to underexpose pictures
by a stop or so to avoid losing
details, then adjust them back
when processing from raw.
but I’m half-tempted to
buy a Canon EOS 6D as a back-up
and secondary DSLR. The best
price I can find for the body new is
£1,099, and the only thing holding
me back is a rumour that an EOS
6D Mark II might be on the way
later this year. Should I wait or
should I buy? Jim Hutchinson X-Pro2 ISO control

myself: ‘How important is

Q I thoroughly enjoyed reading the first look of the new
Fujifilm X-Pro2 (AP 23 January). I have been an X-Pro1
user for three years now, and have been patiently waiting
to see how Fujifilm might develop it for the better. I’m glad to see

it takes some time to get used

A
Canon’s ‘highlight tone
priority’ (HTP) setting
does indeed work, and
normally gives precisely 1 stop
more highlight detail in JPEG and
raw. In effect, it’s automating
the process you describe;
underexposing by a stop to hold
highlight detail, then bringing the
midtones back up in processing.
Because this is essentially
pushing the sensitivity by 1 stop,
the lowest you can use is limited
to ISO 200. In other words,
shooting at ISO 200 with
HTP enabled is identical to
shooting at ISO 100 with
a stop underexposure and
adjusting post-processing.
The main disadvantage of
this approach is that not all
rarely see the light of day.
Instead, this money could be put
towards a new lens or flashgun.
Rumours did circulate last year
that an EOS 6D Mark II could be
on the way in 2016. In the past,
we’ve seen Canon release new
cameras from the top down, with
each camera being given the
chance to sell before cheaper
alternatives are offered.
If Canon continues this trend,
we’ll more than likely see a
replacement for the EOS 5D
Mark III arrive before the EOS
6D Mark II. If this were the case,
an option may be to hold on to
your EOS 5D Mark III and retire
it as your second camera, then
upgrade to a newer model if your
budget allows. Michael Topham
that have been made to
the camera are based on
constructive feedback from
X-Pro1 users. When we
reviewed the X-Pro1, we
noted that it would be good
if Fujifilm could somehow
incorporate ISO control
via the body and it seems
we’ve had this wish granted
on the X-Pro2.
Due to the lack of space
on the top-plate, Fujifilm
has decided to merge ISO
control with the shutter-
speed dial. To operate the
latter you simply turn the
dial as usual, but to change
the ISO you’re required to
lift and turn the dial.
to this change. During my
hands-on experience with
the camera, there were a few
times when I found myself
adjusting the shutter speed
because I hadn’t lifted the
ISO dial high enough. I think, in
retrospect, it would have been
good if Fujifilm had added a ‘Q’
setting so users could override
the ISO dial and adjust the
sensitivity via the traditional
method of using quick menu
if they’d prefer.
We’re hopeful that our
review sample of the X-Pro2
will arrive in the next few
weeks, so we’ll be bringing
you our full report very soon.

Final Analysis
Roger Hicks considers…
‘Teheran’, 2011, by Newsha Tavakolian

he more we look at
pictures, the more
we see in them.
I sometimes feel
guilty when I walk into an
exhibition in Arles, France,
glance around it, and then
walk out again without paying
further attention. I reflect upon
the difference between pictures
with impact and pictures
with staying power. But,
increasingly, I suspect that the
best pictures have both.
We have all seen pictures
where our immediate reaction
is ‘Wow!’ but where that
reaction rapidly fades. It
may take a second or two, or
several minutes, during which
we try to analyse what is so
great about the picture and
find that, actually, there’s not
much. This is quite different.
Aesthetically, it is disputable
(although I’d still like to have
it on my wall). Intellectually
and emotionally – by which
I mean the extent to which
it reaches into my mind and
soul – it is stunning.
