Photography Magazines

[Leanna]

Do any of you read these, and are any of them interesting or useful to you? I was browsing them at the bookstore yesterday and some of them seemed pretty good. If any of you like any of them, which one? There was one I liked a lot but it kept talking about UK money and I am US and know nothing about UK money.... so maybe I want a US magazine? I imagine it would also be cheaper to buy if you know what I mean.

Does that mean no one has ever looked at one?

I like Popular Photography, Outdoor Photographer, and Shutterbug...I have some of each of those now...they are great!

I subscribe to Shutterbug. It seems to do a good job of covering the hardware.

My favorite (by far) is Practical Photography a UK publication. It is expensive, and your right all the ads list UK prices which have no application to someone in the U.S.A. It has articles for both beginner and advanced students of photography. Its comparison tests for equipment are candid and sometimes brutal.

Popular Photography is my favorite U.S. Publication. It has improved a lot in the past few years, but I never read a lens review it didn't like. To really compare lenses you have to look hard at the data supplied with the review. A lot of work that could be candidly summed up in a few sentences.

If you are interested in mail-order-equipment ads, I like Shutterbug.

Actually, i love photography, but I never read a magazine about it. Probably because my main thing was cinematography, so I was reading American Cinematographer, and a few others

What about one called "photo graphic" (two words, yet one )

 

[ashes2beauty]

i like PHOTOgraphic, as well as Shutterbug

I got one, for the life of me I cant remember the exact name... and I've only come across it on rare occassions at the supermarket, but it was ALL on digital photography and imaging. Maybe it was "Digital Imaging" LOL

The only thing I don't like about some of the magazines is the nudity that is allowed in the magazines.

I wish there were more articles about photography in a teaching lesson than all the ads they have. I do understand advertisment is needed, but I feel like I'm buying a magazine of ads rather than a magazine with articles.

Outdoor Photography is a good magazine, as well as Practical Photography. And so is Photography Monthly. But these are all british publications. In some ways it might be worth getting them if you like the articles and reviews, but looking on the internet for the US prices? Just a random thought.
