In a recent communication to the editor it was intimated that it is not right and proper for a magazine to publish pictures and articles without paying the person submitting them. It is apparently considered unprofessional and unfair to professional writers and photographers. While the editor considers this to be a fair and reasonable statement in regard to those magazines and periodicals that charge the reader for the privilege of reading their pages, it is worth remembering that this magazine is currently free. It is designed to showcase the non-professional alongside the professionals who want to inspire others. Their return on this investment is exposure to an audience that simply can not afford to pay for subscriptions, (especially for magazines that are 70% advertising), and the knowledge that beginners can learn and be encouraged to participate. We encourage the non-professional to submit pictures and write articles, ordinary, unassuming people who would never be considered for mainstream magazines because they are ‘unknown’, and we will continue along that path for as long as we have the support. We will not pay for articles or submissions, but will welcome them. By the same token, we will not charge you to read this magazine. One final note, have you ever wondered how a photographer becomes ‘known’, or how much money they spend to achieve that status? While many are great, more are great in their own eyes only, and many more are as good as or better than the great.

Architectural Wonders - A Study in Greyscale Pictures by Alan Griffiths
When we look at buildings, I wonder how many of us think ‘Boring’. Of course much of our modern architecture is just that, boring, comprising a brick or concrete box with a door and a few windows. It is interesting to see that when we pulled this study together, there was only these images of a modern building.
Even these have the ‘old’ tucked away in the background. Looking at the older buildings we see a much greater variety of style and structure, and even the materials from which they are constructed. All of these elements combine to create interest in the view. When we visit cities we tend to aim the lens to the mega structures, keeping the nearby buildings as low key as possible, but are we right? We can challenge the traditional as in the pictures of York Minster and St Pauls Cathedral. By using the local buildings we get a better sense of the area, and also the desire to see more of the main building. York Minster Website = www.worldimagemag.com

While we often dislike the weather, it can play an important part in the construction of a photograph. A right sort of cloud cover in the sky, coupled with the angle and foreground contrast, and of course the careful framing of the scene, creates a dramatic greyscale image When viewed in colour these ‘chocolate box’ or ‘jigsaw puzzle’ images are still powerful, but the tonal quality of the greyscale lends the drama. Home by Alan Griffiths
Reflection plays a part in most images, whether it is in a river or puddle, or even a vehicle windscreen. We have two different examples of how reflections can be used in Durham Massey and the power station. Another point of interest is raised by these last three images, is that the buildings, while the main subject, do not need to fill the frame. The area around the main subject is often as important as the subject itself. It puts the building in context and can often provide the visual story that goes with it.
Dunham Massey by Alan Griffiths
Power Station by Alan Griffiths
The lighting plays an important part in any picture, architecture is no different.
We can change the depth of colour, and even invert it during post processing. Most packages have the means to change almost anything, but how valid the end result is down to you and the care you take. Sometimes, the natural lighting works in your favour by creating the desired effect when the picture is taken. What ever the style you adopt in the picture, it is worth remembering that different subjects work in different ways and by experimenting with the different styles you will get the image that stands out from the crowd.

The Netherlands, Ardennes, Part 3, streams and brooks. By Paul Weijenberg There are numerous streams and brooks in the Ardennes. Sawe, Statte, Getzbach, Soor, Helle, Ninlingspo, Polleur, Hoegne, Spohrbach, Steinbach, Eisernbach to name a few. There are even (origins of) rivers (Ambleve, Berwinne, Ruhr) in these Ardennes. The French names are from the western regions, the German names are found in the Eastern regions. This time we look at a few of these streams. Often you have to plan your trip carefully, you must know where you can cross these waters. There are bridges, but in the past, some of the bridges were washed away by the rising water after the winter season. You must know the second crossing point. The bridges that will be up, are made of stone and concrete. The next bridge is often quite a distance away though‌ Large parts of the Ardennes are being of have already been stripped of trees. They were often firs, these trees never liked the acid environment. Second problem with all those trees: they drank all the rain, left too little for the fresh water lakes that are the source for drinking water in East Belgium. When the trees were gone, sooner than expected, the water came back and fed once again the streams, ending in the lakes.
Website = www.worldimagemag.com
Some 10 years ago, this stream held so little water, that you could easily step over it. It had no significance for walks through this terrain. Nowadays it is a real barrier.

Many steams carry metal, red indicates iron, hence the name Eisernbach. Most streams in the Ardennes carry iron, and have red water. Eau Rouge tells it all.
Website = www.worldimagemag.com

email = magazine@photosociety.net
The water descents from around 600 m to 300 m altitude. All the time, little brooks become streams and streams become rivers.
Some lakes are deeper than you would think.
Below the Helle and the Ambleve downstream.
Early spring, or the end of the winter is best to see the water flow. Most images here are made for march to early may.
Downstream the water flows slower, causing algae to grow on the stones.
Website = www.worldimagemag.com

email = magazine@photosociety.net
In this area, most of the trees in the higher regions will vanish, to favour the water level in the streams.
For wanderers this is beneficial too, you can look over much greater distances ahead. Most of the trees you see in the next image are gone now, but here you can see how obstructed the view is. In the Ardennes, it is good to check your map all the time, you just have to know exactly where you are at all times.
There are brooks that carry little water all year.
Next time is the last visit to this vast area of the Ardennes. From where I live, it takes a drive of just 30 minutes to this area, so I hike here frequently. Paul. Website = www.worldimagemag.com

Street scene photography is just what it states on the label. It is those images we take on the highways and byways that pass through our cities, towns and villages. They can encompass everything from vehicles and traffic to children playing to people working. It shows life on the streets and the rubbish and dereliction we leave behind. It presents the old and the new through the eyes of the photographer.
There is a crossover, the discussion is ongoing as to what is street scene and what is a cityscape. Both can include people and buildings, but for me, cityscape shows the overview of the scene while the street scene shows the life of the street. Street scene photography is not about passing judgement, it is about presenting what is there in the most powerful or descriptive way possible, but without bias.
Boy by Karim Ahmed Website = www.worldimagemag.com
It does not matter if the image is the urchin standing beside the rubbish on the street or the Queen in the royal coach. Page 10
email = magazine@photosociety.net
Sometimes you do not even have to see the whole person or scene to convey the message. It happens that when presented in the proper way and carefully framed, the most powerful messages are created by the simplest of concepts. Like all images, and probably more so, the street scene image must tell the story, and it is down to the person behind the camera to ensure that the story is told within the frame.

Of course in our modern society we also have streets going underground. Here care must be taken as most undergrounds are private property, and that includes the metro. Most of the time nothing will be said so long as you are not causing obstruction or a nuisance. I woul d cert ai nl y seek permission if you want to try it in the rush hour. Above ground anything goes so long as you do not step onto private property to take the picture. This includes those buildings with the grassed or parking areas to the front adjacent to the footpath. Step on those at your peril as most are private property, and sooner or later some jobsworth will challenge you. In London, as is probably the case in most cities, there are buildings that, although it is perfectly legal to take the pictures of, you will be challenged when doing so, often by people carrying guns. My advise is simple, when you see a gun toting police officer standing in the street, tell them what you are doing and why before you begin. They can not stop you, but they may chose to accompany you while you take the pictures.
The area around the cenotaph is a good place in point, Having spoken to a police officer at one end of the street, he was still beside me at the other. Not every day you get an armed guard when taking pictures. They also have another aspect to their work in that some of them actually know quite a lot about the buildings they are guarding and, if they are in a good mood, will often tell you about them.

The rule of never presenting people in a bad light applies equally to street scene as to any other form of photography. Treat subjects in a respectful manner and present them in a way you would not be unhappy about in presenting yourself. Remember also not to impose on their space. As with any photography, take care of your equipment, know what and who is around you (they may be watching for an opportunity), stay away from unsavoury areas, watch for traffic.
Above all, enjoy the day (or night), stay safe, and if you are in any doubt about the area you want to visit, take some mates with you.

While mindful of the fact that we have included these wild horses in past issues, the work of those trying to ensure their survival is, like most conservation projects, filled with trials and disappointments. Some of these are man made while others are the result of natural events. The plight of these horses is a mixture of both. They were abandoned here in the Namibian desert by man after their services were no longer required for military use. Simply they were left in a hostile environment by hostile people who had no interest in their survival.
Against the odds, they did survive, roaming the desert in search of food and water, they have adapted to the harsh conditions that prevail in this hostile part of the world.
Website = www.worldimagemag.com
Page 16
email = magazine@photosociety.net
Their numbers remain small, only a few hundred in the herd, and how they have survived is still something of a mystery. Now they are being helped, not because they are incapable, but because of the drought that holds their world in its grip.
Man provides salt licks which, although cheap, can sustain the herd when there is no food around for them.
The resilience of the horses is a treat to see . In spite of their arid landscape, they are, or at least appear, happy to be free, enjoying dust baths seems to be the favourite past time.

Do you like “Panos” but think you need expensive equipment to shoot them?
Hold the camera in portrait not landscape orientation
I have found that this is not true. All you need is a digital camera and a copy of a basic photo editing programme that will merge your shots.
Scan from left to right to check what the camera sees and the horizon
Zoom in a bit to get closer to a further view
Zoom back if to close, or step back if possible
I use Photoshop Elements 13. My Olympus software does also work but I have to remember to put the camera in Panoramic mode before clicking.
Golden Gate Bridge
It is true that you can buy a panoramic head for your tripod and set up to get the perfect shots, but this is more expensive and you have to carry it around.
Hold up your left hand in L shape as a pre marker for shot 1
Start at the left of the scene and get the focus and Click
Holding the horizon steady in the viewer move 50% right and Click
Keep going ‘til you’ve got it all in the camera
Hold up your right hand in reverse L to mark the end of the sequence
OK if you have planned your shoot specifically but not so easy on a whim. My method suits impatient people like me. Usually I see the ‘view’ when I’m travelling on my holidays. I like to travel light so often I’m just carrying my Olympus OMD EM-5 Mk II with the 14-150mm lens. I have other kit but it gets left in the car, room or at home. Daft I know but .... So, you’re walking along looking for birds or a flower or something and a view pops up. Here’s what I do: Website = www.worldimagemag.com
It’s surprising how many images will stitch together successfully in Photoshop Elements. One of my Uluru panos is 16 shots and the Olgas one is 14.
Page 18
email = magazine@photosociety.net
Wye bridge at Builth Wells
Sometimes the stitching gives strange edges, especially if the images are a little out of line. Using the crop tool to crop inside these edges will give you a clean picture.
I shoot lots of these, they don’t always work but hey its digital, it cost nothing to delete them, except a little time. Often they work very well and make great pictures you can put on your wall, and no one else has the same ones.
Pitcairn Sunset
If you are used to a little editing try cloning in bits of the sky that are missing. If the perspective is wrong try one of the different presets in the Panorama menu, again if you are up to it use the Image - Transform- Distort adjustment. Grab the corners of the image with the mouse pointer and pull them apart, upwards or any which way to distort the view into what you need. You will have created many layers so now go to Layer – Flatten Image and click to produce a JPEG image that you can use as normal.
Website = www.worldimagemag.com
If you can’t print them check out Photobox, or one of the other on line photo printers. There are lots out there. Often their software can help improve your image. A really special photograph can look amazing enlarged to say 1500mm (5’) wide. I have bought MDF, cut it to size and just stuck the print on it, or stuck it to the back of a good quality Perspex sheet to mount on the wall at a minimum cost.
Page 19
email = magazine@photosociety.net
A lower cost option is foamboard which comes in Black or White which you can easily cut to size, its available in most hobby / craft shops. There is also panoramic photo paper on sale 59.4 cm x 21cm if you have your own A3 printer. Crop your image to this size and just print but change your paper size in the Elements and your printer’s menu. Go out and try it. Even if you don’t print them they look great on a modern wide screen TV. A slide show of panos looks very impressive. Here are a few of mine. Let me know what you think, just post and tag me on our Facebook site. Geoff Bowers

Animals With Attitude by Gordon
When I first met the Amur Leopards at the Cat Survival Trust in Welwyn, I was greeted by the smiling face (right), they were very aggressive , and I could not blame them. Once they realised I was not going away and that I was not intimidated by the sharp claws, teeth and attitude, and after a short discussion, they calmed down. I would not say we are the best of friends, and after five years, I still get the same greeting, until they remember my scent, then they calm down. They have even been known to ‘talk’ rather than growl and snarl, I have no idea what they are talking about, but at least they make the effort. I have had the privilege of stroking the fur of these beautiful cats during their quieter days and still retain my hands.
Would I want to meet one outside the wire? Not on your life, they are still fur covered killing machines no matter how cute they may be.

New York, New York Pictures by Louise Bradt
New York is a city of dreams in a land of opportunity. It was the first city emigrants landing from Europe would see in the new world. For some that first fleeting glimpse was also their last. Through triumph and tragedy the Big Apple remains, and everyone who lives there or just visits, wants to get their bite from it.

Oh We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside Pictures by Alan Griffiths When it comes to pictures of the seaside, it can help a great deal if there is a coast line nearby that you can actually get to. In the event that there is not one available, you might find the odd landscape that when taken without any other references, could be a coastal picture. In this image, the lighthouse is something of a giveaway as to its location beside the sea, and, as in the earlier article on architecture, the picture could easily have been a boring view of the dune and sea. This Alan has changed by looking at the angle from which the picture has been taken. The positioning of the lighthouse stops the eye from leaving the picture and the dramatic clouds and oblique sunlight create the desired effect. A picture should have a story to tell, and anyone who has visited the British Seaside will well remember this type of picture and the stories that go with it.
Website = www.worldimagemag.com
Page 28
email = magazine@photosociety.net
Sometimes, to get the picture we want, we just have to use our imagination, and build on the idea until we get the desired effect. The figure of Churchill staring out at the plane crossing the coast would evoke many thoughts and memories. Created in post processing, the image is the result of lateral thinking and imagination. I doubt that the final image was thought of when the pictures to create it were taken, but it underlines the statement that “The only picture that is judged is the final presentation”. One thing we all do at the seaside is to let our eyes follow the horizon, so why not let the picture do the same? Some cameras have the facility to take a ‘panorama’ image but in reality they just crop the top and base of the standard image. Instead of this take a series of overlapping pictures and join them together, remembering that the more in series the narrower the final image.
Website = www.worldimagemag.com
Page 29
email = magazine@photosociety.net
Continuing with the seaside theme, and the panoramas, you may have read the earlier article by Geoff Bowers on this subject. Yes you can do it. It is not highly technical, and requires no special equipment or training, just the courage to give it a go. If you use a wide angle lens to take the panorama picture then you will get distortion in the form of image compression because the final picture is still presented as a standard frame. Again, not all views work well as a panorama, but most do. In this selection Alan Griffiths reverts to colour. Colour sells, but it is also necessary to ensure the whole image holds the story you want to convey.
Even when the tide is out on an overcast and uninviting day, the way the image is captured should convey that feeling. Views can change moment to moment depending on the lighting. They can also change in post processing, but if an image is changed it must still look right when finished. Here we could make the sun shine on the hills and the harbour, but with that heavy overcast sky who would believe it? As in all pictures you need to be aware of what is in the scene and the effects it will have on the final image. This is more important in a panorama sequence as you are only looking at one part at a time, and you may end up with a ghost image of someone or something moving which will spoil the picture.
Website = www.worldimagemag.com
Page 30
email = magazine@photosociety.net
Some things in your panorama will change as you are taking the sequence, the rainbow is fairly stable, but if not it can easily disappear as you take the pictures. But what about more rapid moving objects? The answer here is easier than you may think, simply make sure that it is the first image you take then pan left and right for the sequence, or ensure that the moving object is in a single frame of the panned sequence. As a final thought, try a 360 degree panorama from the top of a building or viewpoint. To view it again, print large and join the two ends together then view from inside the roll. Have fun. Gordon

Uganda Birds of the Victoria Nile - Murchison National Park Gordon Longmead The next bird seen on the Victoria Nile is the African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer). Its haunting call is said to be the call of Africa.
Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum)
The Grey Crowned Crane is arguably the prettiest bird in the park, certainly when it comes to the larger birds. It graceful dances and fanciful plumage make for an interesting study.
Marabou Stork (Leptoptilos crumeniferus).
The Marabou Stork is a common sight throughout Uganda. It is usually seen floating above the cities, but some birds frequent the park looking for carrion.
African Darter drying its wings
Commonly called the Snake Bird due to its long neck and appearance to a rising snake when in the water, its proper name is the African Darter. The Lappet-Faced Vulture (Torgos tracheliotus), is a very large scavenger found in Murchison . Its long body and wide wingspan being amongst the largest in Uganda. It often stands over a kill with its wings spread to intimidate other, smaller scavengers. African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer)

Black-breasted Snake Eagle (Circaetus pectoralis)
Black-breasted Snake Eagle sits in tall trees on open ground while searching for prey, not only snakes, but also for other reptiles.
Eastern Grey Plantian-Eater (Crinifer zonurus)
At first sight the Eastern Grey Plantian-Eater looks as though it belongs with the raptors, but a closer look at the beak and talons soon dispel the idea. This unusual bird eats the flowers from trees and other vegetable materiel. White Browed Coucal (Centropus superciliosus)
The White Browed Coucal is a common bird of Murchison, Its unusual call sounds as though it is under water giving the common name of the water bird.

Lake Superior, Minnesota “The Land of 10,000 Lakes" by Georgene Bergstrom Minnesota is one of the northernmost states of the USA, its nickname, The Land of 10,000 Lakes, is not exaggeration; there are 11,842 Minnesota lakes in excess of 10 acres in size. The Minnesota portion of Lake Superior is the largest at 962,700 acres and, at 1,290 ft, is deepest body of water in the state. Minnesota has 6,564 natural rivers and streams that in total flow for a distance of 69,000 miles. The Mississippi River begins its journey from Lake Itasca and crosses the Iowa border 680 miles downstream. It is joined during its journey by the Minnesota River, the St. Croix River, the Chippewa River, and by many smaller streams, while the Red River drains the northwest part of the state northward toward Hudson Bay in Canada. A p p r o x i m a t e l y 10.6 million acres of wetlands are contained within Minnesota's borders.

Photo Spot - Marrakech Morocco by Matthew Brooks I wonder how many people, when they think about Morocco, think of open deserts and begging children in the streets. We never seem to think that the people of Morocco have ever seen snow, and of course they do not have mountains because it is a flat, hot, desert country. Well time to reconsider that viewpoint, there are mountains and rivers and snow. The buildings however are a different matter. They are exactly as we would expect to see in this North African Country. Of course everyone knows that Africa is not a country but a continent made up of many countries. Morocco sits on the northern coast. Please enjoy this snapshot of the lands and cities of Morocco.

TECHNOLOGY EQUIPPED FOR GRIP
MacWet Technology Most gloves on the market today are bulky and uncomfortable, causing a negative impact on your favourite sport. MacWet's unique Aquatec速 fabric responds to moisture and climate change, ensuring maximum grip, sensitivity, feel and comfort at all times, no matter how wet or humid. The groundbreaking MacWet Sports glove marks a turning point in glove technology with characteristics that ensure user comfort, durability and performance. MacWet gloves' groundbreaking technology uses natural 'wicking' properties. This allows water to be readily transported along, around and over the gloves` surface to the fabric face, where it quickly evaporates, thus providing the ultimate in comfort and gripping power. The breathable, all-purpose MacWet sports gloves offer a comfortable fit and the performance you desire. Man made fabric permits the hand to breathe ensuring maximum grip consistently, with absolutely no compromise to the feel or comfort of the products. The second skin fit allows for fine adjustment of equipment without the need to remove the gloves.

Tour Operators Members who operate, or work on behalf of Tour Operators are invited to submit reports on their tours as a feature of the magazine. These can be a regular feature if desired and may include pictures to highlight aspects of the article. The first of these reports should be an introduction to the company area of operations and its tour guides and staff. Although the Society can not be held responsible for the conduct and safety of the tours, the tour operators that advertise on, or have links within, this site or provide reports within the societies magazine, do so on the understanding that they undertake to conduct the tours in a professional manner, be customer focused, with an emphasis on safety and value for money. As many of the tour operators and guides are members of the society, they are knowledgeable both on the areas they visit and on the subject of photography and will be willing to offer tips and guidance if required. Feedback about your tour is always welcomed and may appear in the society magazine.
