a week in photography
‘Spend it on glass,’ goes the advice of wise old photographers, and it’s as true today as ever. However fancy the technology inside your camera body, using a jam jar bottom as your camera’s business end will give you predictably mediocre results. While top new lenses can be eye-wateringly expensive, the good news is that you can get some really outstanding second-hand lens bargains at the moment. In this packed issue, we reveal some of the best pre-loved deals you can get for under £200, we get tips from readers about their favourite lenses, and we also show how to get great results from using older lenses on newer bodies. Furthermore, we show you how to correct distortion and other common lens problems with software. Stir in all your favourite AP…
online picture of the week
Greenhouse by Ben Draguisky Fujifilm X-T2, XF35mm F1.4 R, 1/250sec at f/11, ISO 200 THIS image was uploaded to our Twitter page using the hashtag #appicoftheweek. It was taken by photographer Ben Draguisky. He tells us, ‘The photo is of some glass panelling of a greenhouse at Wythenshawe Park in Manchester. I was attracted to the grid formation of the painted windows, with one anomaly where plants from inside were visible and poking out. When composing the picture I had a square crop in mind, and liked the idea of the negative space contrasting with the unruly plants in the corner!'…

IT WAS an enormous ask for judges tasked with selecting just 50 images for the first SheClicks exhibition, which is due to open in London in a few days' time on 25 September. The female-only community, which was set up by Angela Nicholson, has grown to almost 5,000 members in just over a year of its existence. Although the idea of an exhibition has been firmly in founder Angela's mind for some time, she could never have hoped for such an enormous reaction. In the end, more than 2,000 entries, across a huge range of genres, were submitted for selection. This stunning and playful image was captured by Christine Johnson. It and 49 others will soon be on display at the After Nyne Gallery in Notting Hill, London. To see more pictures from…
german fashion great dies
WE ARE sad to report the death of Peter Lindbergh, the acclaimed German fashion photographer who helped propel Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell to supermodel stardom. Lindbergh was born Peter Brodbeck in Leszno, Poland, on 23 November 1944, and studied painting at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts in the 1960s. He became a photographer by accident, after discovering he enjoyed taking photos of his brother's children, and opened his first pro studio in Düsseldorf, Germany, in 1973. In terms of Lindbergh's photography, he is best known for his black & white, classically composed cover shots of youthful supermodels, but he also did some great work with older subjects, notably Helen Mirren. ‘This should be the responsibility of photographers today to free women, and finally everyone, from the terror of…
