Which is your favourite Photography Magazine and why?

For me it's Photographer Monthly purely because alot of the features appeal to me. I have to admit to been a fan of the Amateur Photographer magazine as well but i feel they have gone to commercial and the magazine is filled with far to many adverts and for sales. (maybe they should change it to a monthly magazine instead of weekly so they have time for more content).

What do you think???

Mike

i used to buy photography monthly and practical photography, but after a while decided to continue only with pm, because they had the best features and photoshop tips.

Still like the mag, better then the dutch magazines.

PM - Subscribe to, articles have been great

Digital Camera - would be second choice, again they seem to have good articles but do not seem to be as broad as PM

Aometimes pick up Amateur Photographer, but seems to be full of adds and a bit on the thin side, works out quite expensice against the monthlies

Just been looking around the camera mags in my local WHSmiths and saw a familar face in the shape of Daniel Lezano (former editor of photographer Monthly for those who don't know him).
He's now the editor of Digital SLR Photography, and i must say its a good read (will especially appeal to the new SLR owner).
Not sure if this is a new mag as its only issue 1 so i think so but looks like its got potential to be a good mag in the future.

Just been to collect January's issue of the mag. Don't know if its just because the mag is starting out, but i find the problem with a lot of camera magazines is they don't provide enough basic information on photography and the terminology for beginners, which is what a lot of newbie photographers need and look for. Digital SLR photography is covering all the basics in a Beginners Guide covering something different each month. (i think all magazines should repeat this process every 6 months or so).

Most of the established one's seem to think that all photographers know the basics and this is not true, what they have to remember is, more and more people are getting into photography and as well as catering for the experienced photographers they still have to cater for the beginners.

It also as some great Photoshop tips as well as all the normal photography magazine stuff, Like interviews, kit tests and the Your pictures reviewed section and lets not forget the adverts in the back Lol.

Looks like Daniel Lezano is on a winner with this one IMO.

Photographer monthly for me, simply because it has the best mix of features, tuition, readers galleries and reviews and there are not too many ads.
Most of the others seem to concentrate on Photoshop instruction, which is fine if that's what you want.

Although have you notice how the back pages are piling up with adds of late?

Yep, they must need the cash. Hope they don't reduce the content though.
