8 Exhibition Alex Prager Silver Lake Drive This exhibition in London ofers a fascinating mid-career survey of American photographer and ilmmaker, Alex Prager. Oliver Atwell inds out more Alex Prager: Silver Lake Drive runs until 14 October 2018 at the Photographers Gallery in London. Admission is free before 12pm every day. Day passes cost 4 and advanced online booking is priced at What is it about the suburban aesthetics of 1950s and1960s Americana that fascinates artists so much? This period of American history seems to occupy an almost folkloric territory. We can see it in the projects of David Lynch (Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet in particular) and the hit series Mad Men. It crops up time after time in our retro-obsessed age and keeps us fascinated by the stories of Raymond Carver, Richard Yates and John Cheever. The thing that perhaps all these have in common is that in the homes that sit beyond those picket-fence borders something has gone wrong. Beneath the surface, there lies an insidious darkness of alcoholism, infidelity and secrets. American photographer and filmmaker Alex Prager is certainly a contemporary artistwhoisfascinatedbytherotbeneath utopia andisclearlyinspiredbythose artists previously mentioned.

Street fascination You can clearly see the influence of Eggleston on her work, especially in her beautiful image The Big Valley, Desiree from Desiree is a character that seems to have been pulled out of Eggleston s world, particularly his image of a young redhead reclining on a lawn (Untitled, 1975). But Eggleston isn t the only photographer to inspire Prager. In fact, we can look to the whole world of street photography. She has often talked of her fascination with the genre, particularly Diane Arbus, Weegee, Martin Parr and Bruce Gilden. Prager s images do in fact feel a little like images that she s happened across during her travels around California. There s an intimacy to them; they feel real but in a way that is eerie and uncanny. In every scene, there seems to be something a little off. It s often in the face of her characters, particularly the eyes and gaze. Why is the girl in the background of the aforementioned The Big Valley, Susie and Friends staring daggers at the foreground character, for example? These are all images that inspire questions and the answers will depend largely on who is looking at the image.

The Big Valley: Desiree, 2008 ambiguous; that hint at a larger narrative and feel like they are fi lm stills. Unlike Crewdson whose big-budget, cinematic and strange frames often risk overwhelming the audience with their scope Prager allows us to be close spectators with her characters, rather than holding us at a distance. This is her great success. You don t stand back in awe; you want to get close and drink in every detail. Each of her characters (and there are often many in one image) has been carefully constructed to make you believe they have their own thoughts and dreams; that they are more than this one image and they will soon leave the frame and go off into their own little narratives. Prager s work is a fascinating and fantastic thing to behold. The images are beautiful and will likely leave you pondering their meaning for some time after. You may ultimately feel they mean nothing. But then life doesn t always have to mean anything at all.

10 THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS COLUMN ARE NOT NECESSARILY THOSE OF AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER MAGAZINE OR TI MEDIA LIMITED Viewpoint Tracy Calder An Instagram takeover where a third party is invited to take charge of a company s Instagram account comes with a certain amount of risk. The host wants the guest to post content that supports its brand values, while the guest wants to reach a wider audience, creating a lift in sales or general awareness of a product or project. Most of the time, this is a mutually beneficial exercise. However, as with all takeovers, hostilities can arise, and that s what happened on the World Press Photo (WPP) account in July this year.

Mamo asked the participants to cover their eyes and dream about the food they would like tofindonthetable. Striking, but in good taste? There snodenyingtheimagesare striking, but the Dreaming Food series left some Instagram users with a bad taste in their mouth. Mamo was accused of povertyporn creatingimagesthat trigger an emotional response, without revealing the bigger, more complicated, picture.

12 Technique WILD CAMPING Arrive late, le Give your landscape images an unfair advantage by camping at photogenic locations. James Abbott shares practical tips for staying in the great outdoors Nothing beats being out in the great outdoors shooting landscapes at the golden hour. But the problem with shooting at sunrise and sunset, particularly in the summer months, is that they can be extremely early and late, respectively. Throw in a drive and a two-hour trek to the location into the equation, and it quickly becomes apparent that you may as well stay up all night. But, it doesn t have to be like that; there s a much simpler solution that will give you plenty of sleep. With wild camping you re on location at the best times to shoot landscapes, and if you plan carefully you can pick locations suitable for both sunset and sunrise, astro shots and of course a shot of your tent lit from the inside at dusk. You don t have to spend a fortune on camping equipment either; just a few hundred pounds will get you a lightweight tent, warm sleeping bag, sleeping mat and a hiking rucksack which might all provide years of use. KIT LIST Travel tripod For landscape photography a tripod is essential, and the lighter the better so choose a carbon fibre travel option. Backpacking tent A one- to two-person hiking tent will weigh between 1.5kg and 2.5kg, with the most expensive models being the most lightweight September 2018 I I subscribe

ALLPCTURES JAMESABBOTT Don t forget campsites If trekking up a mountain carrying all your photography and camping equipment isn t your thing, that doesn t mean you can t enjoy the great outdoors and stay as close to your desired locations as possible. Everything you need for a wild camp could weigh 10-20kg, and carrying that up a mountain is hard yet rewarding work, but only if you can manage it. Staying at campsites means you won t have to carry a heavy backpack, and you can still enjoy simple luxuries such as toilets, hot showers and other facilities that will help to make your stay more comfortable. The main thing is that you re close to desired locations, and campsites are often closer to more remote locations than hotels or B&Bs. Another advantage of the campsite option is that you can use a much larger tent than if you were wild camping, which in turn means you can have a more comfortable bed and generally more space to move around. You ll still have to get to your desired locations for sunrise and sunset, but this may only mean waking up an hour or so earlier than if you were on location. subscribe I I 15 September

14 Technique WILD CAMPING Castell Y Gwynt in Snowdonia at sunset Sony A7R III, 16-35mm, 4 sec at f/8, ISO 100 A tale of two camps Things don t always go to plan, but there are ways to maximise photo opportunities and remain motivated Whenyou reupinthe mountains only one thing iscertain thatconditions can change in an instant, andtheweathermaybethecomplete opposite of the forecast.

Thingscanonlygetbetter Theplanfordaytwowastocampon Glyder Fach, which is a fantastic location for sunset, sunrise and astro photography. Looking at the PhotoPills app I knew that the moon was going to be rising at 9pm, and it was going to be in the same part of the sky as the Milky Way, so sunset and sunrise would be my focus. Later that day I drove back to the Ogwen Valley where I could park my car and walk to Cwm Idwal and take the Devil s Kitchen route up to the Glyders. The walk was hard work in the 30 C heat, and carrying an 18kg backpack wasn t helping. But after many breaks and quite a few Fruit Pastels, I reached the summit of Glyder Fach and set about looking for a flat piece of ground to pitch my tent. At this time it was about two hours before sunset, so I decided to set up camp early and explore the area for suitable viewpoints for sunset and sunrise. The sky was still fairly clear, but clouds were moving in from the south so there was potential for a more impressive sunset than the previous evening. Candy loss colour My plan for sunset was to shoot a classic composition of Castell Y Gwynt a jagged outcrop that looks like something from Game of Thrones. I found my shooting position and waited as cloud came into the shot and the scene was filled with bright pink light. The flufy clouds looked like candy floss, and after the previous night s sunset I was extremely happy and shot a number of compositions before heading back to my tent. It was now after 10pm and still fairly light so I set up my camera to shoot a glowing tent shot. After another hour of waiting I was able to take the image I wanted, and seeing the moon was as bright as it was, I knew that there was no chance of astro photography tonight, so I went to bed ready for a second 4am alarm. After thick cloud the first morning I was slightly more anxious about what I d wake up to. When I emerged from my tent I was IS WILD CAMPING LEGAL? WildcampingisactuallyillegalinEngland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with Dartmoor beinganexception.youcancampwiththe permission of landowners, but this isn t always possible to obtain. In places like the Lake District and Snowdonia wild camping is often tolerated away from roads, buildings and enclosed farmland. As long as you respect the land and don t turn up to have a party, you ll generally have no problems. The key to success is to arrive early, pitch up just before sunset, and pack up early the next morning just before sunrise so you re ready to shoot as the light gets good. You should leave no trace of your camp. In Scotland, things are slightly different, and you can camp almost anywhere as a result of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act As long as you re not camping on enclosed farmland, in someone s garden or in a park, you ll have no problems at all. When it comes to wild camping, common sense and respect prevail.

15 Top tips greeted with amazing cloud to the east which was just beginning to pick up the colour of the rising sun, whereas facing north-west towards Snowdon there was mist and a lot of haze. I headed over to the Tryfan side of the mountain to hopefully capture this iconic mountain in a sunrise shot, but here too the haze was extremely thick in the valley. I took a few shots before heading back to the side facing Snowdon, where I was able to take an atmospheric shot of Moel Siabod shrouded in mist. It certainly wasn t the cloud inversion we all dream of, but it was still a pleasure to experience. Once the sun had risen further it was time to head down and enjoy a cooked breakfast and mug of cofee before the four-hour drive home. Despite tricky conditions throughout the short trip, it was still possible to get some images I was happy with shots that certainly would have required a lot more work and efort if I d not camped on location. And as always, if you don t try, you ll never have a chance of shooting locations in the conditions you dream of, so overall it was a great trip. Plan your trip It goes without saying that planning your wild-camping trips will make them easier and more enjoyable. OS Maps and Google Maps are a great way to plan routes and fi nd potential locations, and if you re using the OS Maps app you can download routes (GPX fi les) that other people have created and use these in conjunction with the GPS on your phone. Carrying enough food and water is essential, and there are lots of options available ranging from dehydrated meals that simply need water, to ready-cooked meals that can be eaten hot or cold. In the summer eating cold food is no problem, but in winter hot food and drink is a great way to warm yourself up. And most important, don t forget to tell someone where you re going and how long you ll be.

Of course, when you re out for the day there are all sorts of things that are nice to have in case you need them, but when you re hiking with a heavy backpack it is ideal for you to get your kit down to the bare minimum possible. A camera and wideangle lens is a must, and if you have one it pays to carry either a superzoom or a medium telephoto such as a mm f/4. A shutter remote, spare battery and some simple lens-cleaning accessories are also helpful. Finally, don t forget your fi lters and make sure they re safely packed to avoid damage in transit. subscribe I I 15 September

18 PHOTOGRAPHIC COUPLES A marriage made in What is it like when you and your partner are both photographers? Keith Wilson speaks to three couples who have highly successful photographic marriages Two female ptarmigans balancing on a snow-covered ledge, Sarek National Park, Laponia, Sweden Nikon D800E, 300mm f/2.8, 1/1250sec at f/8, ISO 400 Photography is often described as a solitary pursuit, undertaken by individuals answerable only to their own creative instincts. It s a description that suggests there is no place for another person s input, let alone teamwork. And as for social interaction, well, let s leave that for when the light s gone and it s time for a drink. Now, however, an increasing number of photo couples are gaining attention and critical recognition for their work. Last year, the wildlife and landscape photographers Orsolya (Orsi) and Erlend Haarberg were keynote speakers at many of Europe s nature photography festivals as they presented images from their latest book, Laponia Majestic Stillness. The book is the result of a three-year project documenting one of Europe s largest wilderness areas. Laponia is an area of Swedish Lapland, located above the Arctic Circle and accessible only on foot. The Haarbergs made many expeditions, camping for weeks at a time and carrying all their provisions, totally dependent upon each other. Luckily, HAARBERGPHOTO HAARBERGPHOTO Erlend had made several visits to this area before, so we knew how far we could travel, Orsi recalls. Our stays in the wilderness have been very challenging, but always achievable. For the sake of photography, sometimes we took chances, but luckily things always turned out right. Tents and trees Their first time together in a tent wasn t quite so smooth a few months after their first meeting in 2004 in his native Norway, Erlend took Orsi on a mountain hike to photograph reindeer. Orsi had recently arrived in the country from Hungary to undertake a PhD research scholarship in wildlife management. Erlend takes up the story: The first trip we had together almost became our last! This was an area where I have had many great experiences and I was eager to show her, but the trip did not go to plan. There was a lot of walking September 2018 I I subscribe

19 with heavy backpacks, without finding any animals. The first day ended with a fierce quarrel about where we should place the tent. Not exactly a good start. The first meeting of British wildlife photographers Sarah and Andy Skinner was less onerous. Andy explains: Let s just say I never expected to meet my future wife while I was hanging from a tree. It was 1996 and Andy was working as a professional arborist. Sarah had moved back from university to her mum s house. I had to carry out some pruning work to a tree opposite, and she came out and started cleaning her car. We made eye contact a few times and you could say it took a little longer than usual to carry out the pruning work. The Skinners have been married for 16 years, and it is their shared passion for nature and photography that has sustained their life together as leaders of photo safari tours, primarily to Botswana, Uganda and India, through their company Images of Wildlife. While they work closely together, they maintain a stylistic diference with their photography, despite being drawn to the same subjects. Sarah explains: I love how Andy always likes to inject a creative style using diferent techniques, never afraid to take risks and experiment. This always results in some interesting images and compositions. Andy continues: For me it s about how she captures a mood of a scene so beautifully and her wildlife portraits. This is where her love of wildlife shines through. The diference in styles is more marked with the Haarbergs. Erlend was already an established wildlife photographer before meeting Orsi, who has since earned wide acclaim for her landscapes. However, this obvious separation of subject interest doesn t mean they ignore each other s work. In fact, Erlend clearly admires his wife s approach: She doesn t do things by half. When she sees the Siberian jay in the old pine forest of the Stora Sjöfallet National Park, Laponia, Sweden Nikon D3S, 14-24mm f/2.8 at 14mm, 1/3200sec at f/11, ISO 1250 Orsolya and Erlend Haarberg are award-winning nature photographers based in northern Norway. Their latest book, Laponia Majestic Stillness, can be ordered online, price 42, at www. haarbergphoto.com/ laponia/en. potential in a subject, she has unlimited patience to wait for the right conditions. Her perfectionism in every aspect of image making from the planning phase, through field work to image processing made me much more aware about my approach to my own work. For landscape photographers Ted Leeming and Morag Paterson, there is a more unified objective to their compositions as they seek to depict their surroundings as abstract impressions with a singular voice. Whether Ted or Morag triggers the shutter, their fine-art prints are all signed as Leeming + Paterson. Their photography was markedly diferent when they first got together in 2006, but there was enough respect for each other s work for one to inspire and influence the other. Although Morag admits Ted s studies of smaller rivers and moss-clad trees influenced her later images, it is Ted who has experienced the subscribe I I 15 September

20 PHOTOGRAPHIC COUPLES greater transformation in style since the couple began collaborating. He says: Morag showed me an entirely new way to look at the world, refusing to accept conventional thinking. Once I recognised this, it opened a whole new world for me. This joint interpretation of the landscape is best demonstrated by their 2014 book, Zero Footprint, a homage to the changing mood and light of the Glenkens in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Every image was taken from the same spot on their kitchen patio (hence the book s title) but the variances in light, season, weather, focal length and direction meant no two images were the same. Four years on, they continue to make abstract impressions of their surroundings, only this time from the Ligurian coast in north-west Italy. LEEMING + PATERSON LEEMING + PATERSON The evening sea at Albenga, Liguria, Italy Canon EOS 5D Mark III, mm at 100mm, 0.4sec at f/16, ISO 100 Strengths and preferences When on safari and confined to their vehicles, Sarah and Andy Skinner are also faced with the same subject to photograph, yet they try to avoid duplication. But, as Sarah admits, it does sometimes happen: I always know Andy will be keen to capture movement, and although I sometimes do the same we try to avoid doing this at the same time. Instead, I might focus on more environmental images. As a result, we often come out with very diferent images to each other at the same sighting. This recognition of each other s preferences is an important aspect for each of the couples to ensure the widest variety of images from a field trip, even when sharing the photo credit, as with the case of Leeming + Paterson. Morag Leeming + Paterson specialise in abstract representations of the landscape Canon EOS 5D Mark III, mm at 400mm, 1/5sec at f/36, ISO 100 explains: We re quite good at divvying up a shoot when we have time pressures on a commission where we usually split [the work], with Ted taking the wider and more tripod-based shots, and me going for longer lens work and experimenting with motion blur. Having said that, we can inadvertently have a complete and unintended role reversal at times.

The Haarbergs, who won more than 30 awards for their photography last year, including European Wildlife Photographer of the Year for Erlend, ANDY SKINNER LEEMING + PATERSON September 2018 I I subscribe

21 Clouds swirl around the slopes of the Ligurian Maritime Alps in Italy Sony A7R II, mm at 130mm, 1/3200sec at f/8, ISO 50 are probably best placed to answer. Ever diplomatic, Orsi says: Awards are a positive feedback that are nice to receive, but we don t give them too much importance. We have diferent priorities and interests in photography, but we often share our goals and projects, so there is no reason to compete. Sarah is a little bit more forthcoming: I would be lying if I said there wasn t a little ANDY & SARAH SKINNER friendly competition between us. We feelthat shealthyasitensureswe continue to push ourselves. Lens diferences Unsurprisingly, all three couples use thesamecamerasystems Tedand Morag shoot with Canon (although TedalsousesaSonyAlpha7RII), while Andy, Sarah, Orsi and Erlend are Nikon users.

31 IN ASSOCIATION WITH James Paterson James is an award-winning journalist, skilled photo editor and photographer. His work has appeared in countless magazines and books, and he is editor of Practical Photoshop. Although James specialises in portraiture, he shoots a range of subjects. A softbox helps create clean, solid reflections when using metal and glass ALL PICTURES JAMES PATERSON Light crat With continuous lighting, polished product shots and carefully crafted still-life photos are a joy to create, explains James Paterson One of the idiosyncrasies of photography is that we are accustomed to the idea of lighting subjects with a light that none of us can properly see. A burst of flash is impossible to judge by eye, but it s the accepted norm for photographic lighting, and has been so for more than a century. For this reason, flash has always been one of the biggest stumbling blocks for those learning photography. Its unpredictability means that flash takes years to master, and so it s rightly a source of pride for those users who have learned how to control it. But with advancements to continuous lighting in the past few years, this century-old AEOS sotbox A must for product photography, a softbox diffuses and softens the light. It also lets us create clean, hard-edged reflections when shooting glass or metal. Relector Useful for bouncing light back into shadows and to even out the contrast in still-life photos, a reflector is an inexpensive and invaluable piece of kit for all kinds of photography. Skyport Trigger The NEO 2 and AEOS used here come with inbuilt Elinchrom Skyport receivers, which means you can pair them with a Skyport transmitter like this to control and trigger HSS flash. subscribe I I 15 September

34 LOCATION GUIDE Tyneham, Dorset Explore the small ghost village of Tyneham in the autumn on a chilly, foggy day, says Jeremy Walker KIT LIST Macro lens Tyneham is a great location for close-ups and details, so a macro lens is ideal. If you do not have a dedicated macro lens, a close focus 50mm will do a good job. A 24-70mm (full frame) or equivalent will also be useful. CROWN COPYRIGHT 2015 ORDNANCE SURVEY. MEDIA 009/15 Tripod A tripod will be handy, especially in the dimly lit church and schoolhouse, and for precise close-up focusing. Using a tripod at Tyneham has never been a problem, either inside or out. THE SMALL village of Tyneham lies in a small wooded valley in the idyllic rolling countryside close to Dorset s world famous Jurassic Coast. The small collection of farm buildings, church, schoolhouse and tumbledown cottages have been trapped in a time warp thanks to the preparations for D-Day. In 1943 the residents were given just a few weeks to vacate their houses with a promise that they could return after the war. This never happened and it has remained a ruined ghost village ever since. The large barn has a colourful hay wagon and an ever-expanding collection of farm tools and props, great for detail shots. There is also a theatrical stage showing a view of the old manor house, a fun location for portraits. In the outbuildings there is large farm machinery including an old Fordson Major tractor. In the stables there are rusting oil lamps and tools sat on cobweb-fi lled windowsills, all great material for close-up and urban decay type images. The terrace of abandoned and decaying cottages comes complete with a brief history of what the building was and who lived there a sad and poignant reminder of the passing of time. There is also the old schoolhouse which is lit by just soft window light, giving it a wonderful atmosphere. The church is still intact, complete with stained glass windows, and now it serves as a bit of a historical information centre rather than a museum. Above: Many objects inside the buildings are ideal for detail shots and close-ups Nikon D850, 50mm, 1/100sec at f/10, ISO 1000 Right: In the stables you will find great subjects for urban decay detail images Nikon D850, 50mm, 1/200sec at f/5.6, ISO 2000 Far right: The dusty interior in the schoolhouse makes for atmospheric shots Nikon D850, 50mm, 1/100sec at f/10, ISO 1000 Jeremy Walker Award-winning professional photographer Jeremy Walker has been shooting landscapes, architecture and people for more than 25 years.

35 Technique ALL PICTURES JEREMY WALKER Various points of interest come complete with a brief history Nikon D850, 50mm, 1/125sec at f/11, ISO 2000 Shooting advice When to go Autumn is the ideal time to visit as the colours, mist, frost and fog will all help make Tyneham a magical, ethereal place to shoot. Because of its location on military land, access to Tyneham is restricted. It is open to the public most weekends and the main holiday periods. Visit tynehamopc.org.uk/new/ visiting-tyneham/ opening-times There is no charge to enter but a suggested donation of 2 will help with the conservation work. This will probably be the best two pounds that you will spend on photography this year! Food and lodging Facilities are limited at Tyneham. There are lavatories next to the farmyard at the southern end of the car park. Ice cream vans and food vendors are not allowed on site but of course Tyneham is a great place for a picnic. If you want a bite to eat visit Clavell s Restaurant on the road to Kimmeridge Bay, just two miles to the east. Clavell s is possibly the best tea room/cafe in Dorset the food and cakes are yummy. As for accommodation there are plenty of B&B s and campsites in the area but the nearest hotels are The Springfi eld just outside Wareham or the Mortons House Hotel in Corfe, both excellent centres for exploring this area. Word of warning Tyneham is still within the boundaries of the Lulworth Ranges, the live fi ring area of the Armoured Fighting Vehicles Gunnery School, and warning notices about unexploded ordnance and areas that are out of bounds should be heeded. subscribe I I 15 September

36 Testbench COLLECTING CAMERAS Curious cameras John Wade takes you into the wonderful world of unusual, quirky and unique cameras, some of which you will ind irresistibletoaddtoyourcollection Some collectable cameras are still usable. Some usable cameras are eminently collectable. But sometimes you come across a camera that for shooting purposes is impractical, not to say downright useless, yet you find it strangely attractive. You know you ll never take pictures with it, yet you want it if only to look at it, play with it and secretly fondle it. If you find yourself in this predicament, beware. You might be turning into a camera collector. If all this sounds alien to you, the best bet is to skip the next six pages.

37 In 1900, the Mammoth was the world s biggest camera 1900 The Mammoth The world s biggest camera was built in America to photograph what the Chicago and Alton Railway Company called the handsomest train in the world. The camera was 20 feet long, with specially strengthened rubber bellows. Its plate holder used a roller blind made from 80 square feet of ash wood. The camera weighed 1,400 lbs and took 15 men to operate. Plate development used 10 gallons of chemicals. The picture it shot won the Grand Prize of the World for Photographic Excellence at the 1900 Paris Exposition, after which the Mammoth was dismantled and never seen again Mark III Hythe Machine Gun Camera When training First World War pilots in air-to-air combat, it was obviously impractical to use live ammunition for fear of shooting down an aircraft. That s why English manufacturer Thornton Pickard was asked to build this camera. It looked and handled exactly like a Lewis machine gun of the period. But as the trigger was pulled it shot pictures on special rollfi lm, courtesy of a 300mm f/8 lens in the barrel. Once developed, the images indicated how accurate the airman had been in aiming the camera and, if it had been a real gun, the likelihood of him having shot down an enemy aircraft. The Hythe Machine Gun Camera was made to train pilots in air-to-air combat The Royal Mail Stamp Camera, which produced 15 postage stamp-sized pictures 1907 Royal Mail Stamp Camera All cameras have at least one lens. Some have more. The Royal Mail Camera had 15. This was asmall,box-shaped mahogany plate camera, made in England by W Butcher & Sons. It produced 15 identical portraits in three rows of five on quarter-plate size glass plates. Each of the individual images was about the size of a postage stamp and special masks were available to make a contact print from the plate look like a sheet of postage stamps; hence the name of the camera. As the trigger was pulled it shot pictures on special rollfilm, courtesy of a 300mm f/8 lens in the barrel subscribe I I 15 September

38 Testbench COLLECTING CAMERAS 1936 Photo-See Twelve years before Polaroid s fi rst instant picture camera, the American Photo See Corporation made this small box camera, which shot and developed an image in fi ve minutes. It did so by encasing single sheets of fi lm in light-tight sleeves. With the camera closed, the fi lm was extracted from the sleeve by a mechanism on the back of the body, the picture was taken, and then the fi lm was reinserted into its sleeve. Using a similar process, the sleeve was then placed in the camera s special developing tank and processed by chemicals poured into and out of spouts on the front of the tank The Compass Designed in England, but built in Switzerland by Swiss watchmaker LeCoultre, the Compass measured a mere 6.5x2.5x5.5cm. But into those trim dimensions, it packed three built-in fi lters, a collapsible lens hood, spirit level, rangefi nder, special heads for panoramic and stereo photography, an Anastigmat 35mm f/3.5 focusing lens that stopped down to f/16, shutter speeds of 4.5-1/500sec, a ground-glass focusing screen under a hood on the back, right-angle viewfi nder, depth of fi eld scale and a built-in exposure meter. It was super-sophisticated, but overly complicated to use and lasted only a few years.

This one, made by the American Mast Development Corporation, was the exception. It was developed for the US Signal Corps, designed so that a real Lucky Strike cigarette packet could be taken apart and then re-glued around the camera body, with the lens behind a shutter in the side. False cigarettes protruding from the top of the packet controlled various functions and the shutter was released by a minute button hidden under the wrapping. It s doubtful the camera got beyond the prototype stage. p I w.amateurphotographer.co.uk I subscribe

39 1948 Steineck ABC This was a German camera, designed to be worn on the wrist like a watch. It had a tiny Steinheil 12.5mm f/2.5 lens at the 12 o clock position that shot eight circular images, 5.5mm in diameter on a 25mm disc of fi lm. Film discs could be cut from normal 35mm fi lm, using a special punch. After the single speed shutter was released by a button on the case where a watch s winder would be, the fi lm disc automatically rotated ready for the next exposure. When the camera was launched, clip-on fi lters, close-up lenses and even a miniature enlarger were available.

The American Automatic Radio Manufacturing Company built this hybrid, using a four-valve radio as the basis in the days before transistors were commonly available. The radio received medium wave only, tuned by a knob on top and a needle passing along a numbered scale on the rear of the body. The camera was a simple snapshot type with two lenses: one to shoot the picture, the other to refl ect its image to a viewfi nder on the top of the body. subscribe I I 15 September

The camera shot 6x9 cm images on rollfilm, film packs or plates. The Russian Photosniper was used like a rifle 1965 Fotochrome Although made by Petri in Japan, the Fotochrome was designed by an American photofi nishing company to use its own direct positive colour fi lm. The camera s unusual pyramidshaped body featured a lens at the top which used an internal mirror to refl ect the image down to the fi lm running along the base of the camera. Pressing a button on the side fl ipped up a refl ector for a built-in fl ashgun. Exposure was automatic thanks to a large selenium cell meter surrounding the lens. Misjudged marketing led to the camera s downfall.

It wasactually16mmwide, and ran though a movie camera twice. Split down the middle with the resulting two strips joined after processing, it produced 8mm images. The French-made Mundus used the full 16mm width of Standard-8 to shoot 8x14mm still images, up to 350 to a reel. A lever on the side advanced the fi lm and tensioned the shutter at the same time.

43 IN THE FIELD Testbench Centre sharpness is a real strength of this lens when it s opened to f/1.4 Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 1/100sec at f/1.4, ISO 800 Prime sensation TheEF85mmf/1.4USMislovedby Over Canonusersfordocumentary, portrait, and wedding photography. Michael Topham explains why What s your favourite lens? This is a question I ve been asked countless times by guests attending the weddings I ve photographed over the years. As I explain, it s not so much about having a favourite lens but having a select group of lenses that allow me to record the special moments and tell the story of the day as it unfolds the best way possible. The approach I take to photographing weddings today is different from when I first started out. The lenses that were once in my select group consisted of two zooms and a prime. To be more specific they were Canon s EF 24-70mm f/2.8l II USM, EF mm f/2.8l IS II USM and EF 85mm f/1.8 USM. I still carry these lenses with me, but they see a fraction of the use that my faster f/1.4 primes get today. With prime lenses I find they force me to think more creatively about composition. Not only that, they encourage me to move my feet, which in turn helps me engage more with the couple to find the optimum position and angle to shoot from. the past eight months, the CanonEF85mmf/1.4LISUSM has been one of my go-to lenses an optic that I was besotted with whenireviewedit(seeap16 December 2017) and one I was fortunatetoreceivealong-term loan sample of soon after.

But having spent alittleover 300ononeseven years ago, I feel my example has more than paid for itself.

44 Testbench IN THE FIELD Users of the lens will be delighted with its fast and quiet autofocus performance Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 1/320sec at f/1.4, ISO 100 to remind myself of how it handles. The long, thickset barrel is immediately obvious when it s supported in your left hand, and its mottled matte black barrel, weathersealing and large switches bring it bang up to date. Making the switch Substituting my 85mm f/1.8 for the 85mm f/1.4 did take time to get used to. As I d envisaged, the extra 525g in weight is noticeable when it s lugged around on your shoulder all day and coupled to a full-frame DSLR. The good news is that it presents a 180g weight saving over Sigma s 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM ( 999) a lens I nearly splashed out on before I found out about Canon s plans to launch its own with image stabilisation (IS). As a photographer who often finds himself challenged by low-light venues and dark interiors, any assistance I can get to stabilise my camera set-up is welcomed. My documentary style means I shoot handheld, and as such, the stabiliser switch hasn t moved from its on position since the day it arrived. You may read in reports elsewhere that this switch is easily knocked, but I ve never found this to be an issue in all the time I ve used it. The image stabiliser is the pièce de résistance of this lens and is what makes it stand out from Canon s other 85mm primes and many of its rivals. We have of course seen image stabilisation introduced into 85mm f/1.8 lenses before Tamron s 85mm f/1.8 SP Di VC USD ( 749) is an excellent example but never on an 85mm f/1.4. In the past I wouldn t have dreamt of shooting below 1/60sec with an unstabilised 85mm prime for the fear of handshake creeping into my shots. Thanks to its highly effective image stabiliser I ve often found myself shooting at 1/10sec when I ve needed to capture static subjects or details under poor lighting conditions and don t want to push the ISO too high. Photographing people is slightly different as it comes with a much greater risk of motion blur so I m always conscious of making sure my shutter speed never drops too low so I m able to freeze any fast or unexpected subject movement. This couple shot offers a good impression of the bokeh that s rendered wide open at f/1.4. The wide aperture helps distract the eye from busy backgrounds Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 1/3200sec at f/1.4, ISO 100 Image quality What I have always loved about fast 85mm lenses is how they offer such a satisfying portrait perspective and draw a viewer s eye into the heart of an image with no risk of distorting facial features. At more than three times the price of the EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, you d imagine the EF 85mm f/1.4l IS USM to be the sharper of the two lenses, which I can confirm it is. The extremely shallow depth of field attained at f/1.4 is great for drawing a viewer s eye to the heart of the frame Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 1/160sec at f/1.4, ISO 800 Green and purple fringes of colour are only noticeable when you inspect images closely at high magnification Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 1/80sec at f/1.4, ISO September 2018 I I subscribe

45 However, I must point out that it doesn t offer the big increase in sharpness that those looking at the lens as a possible upgrade might be hoping for. Where the lens gets my vote ahead of my old 85mm f/1.8 is the quality of the bokeh it renders wide open. The extra two-thirds of a stop benefit results in smoother, less detailed background blur, which is more attractive for candids and couple shots where a strong separation between the subject and what lies behind is paramount. Unlike Canon s faster EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM a lens I ve used many times before but have never associated with getting a high hit rate of pin-sharp shots when using wide open this optic has proven to be quite the opposite. The combination of fast and accurate autofocus, with image stabilisation, has supplied me with a higher number of keepers than I ve got with any other Canon 85mm prime I have used before. There s a lot to be said for having the confidence to open a prime lens to its widest aperture and know you re going to capture consistently sharp and attractive images with each and every shot you take. It s just one of the reasons why it has become such an important part of my kit. Although the lens is prone to displaying chromatic aberration along high-contrast edges, purple fringing is handled far better than Canon s 85mm f/1.8. Enabling lens profile corrections in Lightroom or Camera Raw does a marvellous job of correcting the vignetting that occurs between f/1.4 and f/2.8, and I ve found setting the purple and green amount defringe sliders to values of 10 under the manual tab helps remove chromatic aberration most effectively. Final thoughts When the loan sample gets recalled I have a very difficult decision to make. Do I part with my EF 85mm f/1.8 USM and upgrade, or hold onto what I already have and make do? After falling in love with Canon s new 85mm f/1.4 and the delightful look to the images it creates, particularly wide open at f/1.4, Michael in action with the 85mm f/1.4 coupled to his Canon EOS 5D Mark III it s hard to imagine rocking up to a wedding without it. It doesn t come without its cons: it is larger, heavier and draws slightly more attention when trying to shoot inconspicuously; however its effective image stabilisation, useful weathersealing and attractive bokeh are the main reasons why documentary, portraiture and wedding photographers have become so enthralled by this lens. The fact that it requires me to spend over 1,000 once I ve traded in my old lens is a bitter pill to swallow. A question I always end up asking myself when it comes to making difficult decisions like this is: will it improve the images I take and submit to my clients? On the basis that my answer to this is yes and that I consider it to be one of the finest primes Canon has released since the EF 35mm f/1.4l II USM in 2015, I know I have to add it to my kit and select group of lenses.

51 Tech Talk My camera collection is nothing if not eclectic. At the top of the range there are a handful of classics including a Leica IIIf, Contarex Bullseye and a Baby Rolleiflex, while at the other end sits a plethora of cheap and sometimes pretty awful cameras, accumulated over the years in jumble sales, charity shops and car boot sales. Most have just the one lens, but I have examples with two, three, four, eight, nine and even16. The Optomax110 Telephoto Camera has three lenses, though only one of these is the taking lens, the other two forming a pair of binoculars. Asfarascamerasgo,thisone definitely falls into the novelty or gimmick category. Neither the plasticlensedbinoculars,northe camera,whichusesthesubminiature110film,canbe consideredanythingmorethan toys. The binoculars are rated at 4x30mm,sotheygiveamodest fourtimesmagnification,whilethe 80mm f/11 taking lens equates to around 160mm on full-frame 35mm,makingitamoderate telephoto.lookingthroughthe binoculars, you re certainly aware The Optomax110 Telephoto had an 80mm f/11 lens and gave a four times magnification Tony Kemplen on the Optomax Binocular Camera Acamerawiththreelenses,ofwhichtwo are binocular? Here s a novel, albeit gimmicky, camera put to the test Kemplen was able to overcome the camera s framing issues and get this shot of the slight magnification given, but the loss of clarity due to the plasticlensesmeansthatyoucan actuallyseemoredetailwiththe naked eye. Anumberofsimilarcamerabinocular combinations were made in the 1980s, one even had interchangeable lenses, though witha13x17mmnegative,it s hard to imagine any serious photographer buying one. I found mine in a car boot sale some yearsback;itwasinverygood condition and didn t look as if it had had much use. With its very basic specifications, it s definitely a camera for bright sunlight, so I waiteduntilsummertoload it up and try it out. Although fresh 110 film is available today, ataprice,ireckoned the quality of the Optomax s optics didn t warrant such extravagance,soi optedtousedsome expired Kodak Gold ISO 400 colour negativestock.ican t remember how old the film was, but it came in a 12-exposure cartridge.

The main problem appeared to be framing the scene becausewhatyouseeinthe binoculars does not accurately reflectwhatappearsonthe negative, and many of my photos hadpartsofthesubjectmissing.

In other words,howdoour expectations afect our aesthetic judgement? Obviously they do: we dallagreeonthat.it snotalwayseasy todefinethoseexpectations,though.a shortexcursionintoarthistorymayhelp.

By definition it s found in pretty much the whole of photography and painting.normallyit stakentoapplytoa more or less extreme form, with strongly litshapesemergingfrom(andcontrasted with)deepshadow:thinkofcaravaggio, delatourandwrightofderby. Atthedawnofphotography,strong chiaroscuro was the norm, not least because extremely slow materials often led to underexposure and empty shadows. As time went on, more photographers began to explore a flatter, more graphic form: thinkofrejlander,whosechiaroscuro wasmuchclosertoleonardodavinci s than to Caravaggio s. Faster materials and the self-masking nature of printing out paper made this much easier. Then came colour, which greatly compressed the tonal range that could berepresentedwhilestillretaining convincing colours. You could get around this via studio lighting and fill flash; or you couldchooseyoursubjectverycarefully.
