Photography magazines..do you?

Does anyone here read them/ have a favourite/contribute?

Am quite fond of flicking through 'Practical Photography' and 'Amateur photographer' over a cuppa...expensive but then passing them around my friends later equals out the cost and I don't read so called 'womens magazines' or expect a huge amount from them except for a wee bit of inspiration and a decent review or two...!

I asked on another forum but they were far too precious to admit to popping one in their shopping trolley.

I used to buy photography magazines at random before getting Practical Photography subscription for my birthday a few years back. I still read it when it arrives but I don't get as much from magazines now as I used to. Should cancel it really.

I've a pile a mile high now and if I dug out all the 2009 ones and compared them to the 2011 ones - apart from the gear reviews (which change obviously) it's the same old thing over and over.

True..but I use the mile high stack as an indoor tripod sometimes.,,the kids canna see me. lol

Only buy when am feeling 'jaded' but found a really interesting article today about getting your old DSLR altered to take infrared pics.. fascinating results.

Yes - you can pick up 2nd hand IR converted bodies quite easily for not too much.

What do you reckon to the possible results Phil? I know it involves some resetting and trial and error exposure wise.. but is the concept itself worth buying into with an otherwise redundant SLR?

just cancelled Digital Photo after a few years due to it starting to repeat its self
wont buy no more mags as there is so much stuff on the internet for free.

I subscribe to Digital Camera and find it quite a good read.

I do think they have a place. xx

under a wobbly table ?

I was told to use kit lenses for that job Cakey.
