Our regular visitors will notice major changes at the magazine this month.
First and most importantly, we have decided to publish more regularly. Instead of following a monthly cycle, as was the case in the past, we will make new content available on a weekly and even daily basis.
This will mean that there should always be something new on the site when you pop in for a visit.
More regular updates
For a schedule of upcoming articles, keep an eye on the magazine’s front page, which will have a link to a list of planned publication dates for various sections.
To allow us to make best use of the advantages of internet publishing over traditional newsstand magazines, we will also regularly update certain articles, and you may see old articles, which have been fiercely revamped and rewritten, make a second appearance on the front page.
Things in the photographic world change rapidly, and since the advent of digital capture, our craft has been evolving at a feverish pace. Because of this, many books and articles are out of date within days of hitting the shelves. The internet allows us to update articles as it becomes necessary to do so, meaning you will always be certain that everything you read on our site is bang up to date.
For instance, a few short months ago, HDR, or high dynamic range photography was a fairly novel idea, and very few photographers were using it on anything but an experimental basis. Since then, however, we have seen its use in landscape photography rocket with spectacular results, meaning we will have to update our landscape photography articles.
But we have more in store than a simple change in our publishing cycle.
The other big change in the site lies in the way we interact with users.
More Features for Users
In months past, the vast majority of content was created by our editorial team, all of whom have many years of photographic experience under their belts.
From now on, however, we will be relying more and more on you, our users, to provide features for the website, while still providing you with the top-class editorial content you have come to expect from our staff.
We have, for instance, made it easier to post pictures to your very own online albums, and each month we will feature one of the exceptionally good ones on our front page. This will, if possible, be accompanied by a photographer profile, and should you wish, a link to your own home page.
We have also launched a brand new digital photography discussion forum, where all our readers can get together to talk about their favorite hobby. This has been a major success, and the debate in many of the sections has been vibrant, sometimes even heated. Readers have particularly liked the ease with which they can add pictures to their forum posts. Have a look at Picture paints a thousand words for proof.
These are not the only changes we have planned. We will, in future, also allow all our regular users to post blogs, should they want to, and there will be major changes to user profiles, so that you can tell the world in general as much about your photography as you want to, but more on this to come.
