Here’s some of what we have lined up for the winter 2008 issue of Olympus User magazine. Please note that the contents are subject to change. To read this issue you can subscribe to Olympus User.
Sir Ranulph Fiennes on Everest
Olympus User meets the veteran explorer to find out what drives him to return to the most famous mountain in the world and what it is like to take photographs under such challenging conditions.
Photo framing – part 2, constructing the frame
After we saw how to professionally mount photos in the autumn issue of Olympus User magazine, Richard Lane returns to picture framing school to learn the correct way to frame mounted photographs.
All at sea
Olympus User talks with Olympic sailing photographer, Anthony York, about the art of capturing such a tricky sport on camera and what it is like to work at such prestigious events as the Olympic Games.
Christmas in Thailand
A different take on the festive season from Olympus photographer Stuart Meikle, with plenty of photos to capture the true spirit of Christmas in Bangkok.
Reflections and shadows
Two optical effects that often are over looked, shadows and reflections give the photographer the opportunity to depict their subject twice in the same photo. Once in its natural state and for a second time either reflected as a ‘mirror image’, or silhouetted as a shadow. Shadows and reflections also allow the photographer to get in the shot – not always intentionally. We look at how to make the most of these effects and also consider techniques that eliminate them altogether.
Cornish Diary
John Curgenven spent a week in Cornwall using the E-3 and 12-60mm Zuiko Digital zoom, and is now convinced that you don’t need to leave these shores to take awe-inspiring photographs. John takes us to his favourite sites, and tells us more about using the E-3 and how it coped with the odd Cornish downpour.
Three legged race
A guide to tripods – big ones, little ones, expensive ones, cheaper ones, indeed everything you need to know if you are shopping for a tripod, or hope to find one in your Christmas stocking!
