Among the most important

attributes for anyone wishing to

succeed in landscape photography

is an ambivalence – if not an

outright enthusiasm – towards

being out in inclement weather.

If the thought of an impending storm doesn’t

make your heart skip with excitement then this

probably isn’t the genre for you. This week some of

the UK’s leading landscape photographers offer

their tips and advice to help make the discomfort

worth the effort. If you’d rather stay warm and dry

at home then perhaps Elizabeth Kazda’s beautiful

fl oral mandalas or Louis Dazy’s fi lm-based double

exposures will inspire you. Speaking of beautiful,

we take an in-depth look at the Fujifi lm X100V, a

camera that’s almost impossible to use without

wanting to buy one (as Michael Topham found to

his cost) and John Wade tells the story of the

Contafl ex 35mm TLR. Nigel Atherton, Editor

The Getty Images Hulton Archive is one of the world’s great cultural resources. Tracing its origins to the founding of the London Stereoscopic

Company in 1854, today it houses over 80 million images spanning the birth of photography to the digital age. Explore it at http://www.gettyimages.com.

It’s been 50 years since the UK’s  rst women’s

liberation march, which took place on 6 March 1971

and progressed from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square.

An estimated 4,000 women, men and children joined

the procession, despite snow and sleet. Speaking to

The Guardian in 2018, one of the organisers of the

protest, Sheila Rowbotham, said, ‘What was vital for

us was to recognise we actually had a presence –

that we could mobilise on the streets. Before then,

we’d had conferences, which several hundred people

had attended – but this was on a bigger scale. We

were visible to people, physically, as a movement.’
