It never ceases to amaze me that

despite the fact that we live on

quite a small island, the

Landscape Photographer of the

Year competition continues, after

14 years, to surprise and impress

us with astonishingly good images that we don’t

feel like we have seen many times before. When

you factor in how much of the UK is developed

and how much private land is out of bounds to the

public this achievement is all the more remarkable.

If I wore a hat I would raise it to the many talented

landscape photographers of the British Isles. Instead

I present our annual selection of favourites from

among the winners. Do check out the LPOTY

website to see the rest though. Also this week we

talk to Joe McNally, who has taken more than a

few pretty amazing pictures himself, and we test

Fujifilm’s stunning new medium format camera.

It’s a game-changer! 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.

Press interest in the late Diana, Princess of Wales

started right from the beginning of her relationship

with Prince Charles. Here she is, aged just 19,

pictured leaving her flat in Coleherne Court in Earl’s

Court. It was taken in November 1980, just a few

months before the couple announced their

engagement in February 1981. How the rest of the

story played out is of course extremely well-known,

with many attributing her death to the role the

paparazzi played in their pursuit of her.
