Landscape

The Landscape Special Interest Group is dedicated to encouraging landscape photography and advancing the skills of its practitioners. Since its launch in 2016, the group has welcomed photographers of all levels, from beginners to experts, and offers a range of events, publications, and online platforms for members to share their work and collaborate with others.

Landscape photography has a long history and has become one of the most popular forms of photography, with techniques such as intentional camera movement, multiple exposures, and the use of filters allowing photographers to capture the ephemeral beauty of landscapes.

The Landscape Special Interest Group aims to spread understanding of these techniques through practical use and collaboration.

The group also produces a regular e-newsletter and a print magazine every 8 months, as well as offering opportunities for members to share their images through print and e-critique circles and a members-only Facebook Group.

Themed competition

Movement and Texture in Landscapes

Our latest themed photography competition is titled "Movement and Texture", where the forces of nature take centre stage. This will challenge you to capture the dynamic relationship between the ever-changing movements in the natural world—like flowing rivers, wind-swept trees, or shifting dunes—and the intricate textures found in landscapes. From the rugged surfaces of rocky cliffs to the gentle ripples across a still lake, we want to see how you interpret the interaction of motion and detail in nature. Show us how landscapes come alive, merging movement and texture in breathtaking and imaginative ways.

The competition is open from September 1st.
