  • Out With The Old – In With The New

     

    The LuLa team is back from the Antarctica trip.  We’ll have more to report on this trip soon.

    This is a big week for Luminous-Landscape.  This Saturday, February 14th, we will be launching the NEW Luminous-Landscape.  We are very excited about this and we are sure you will enjoy the new look and ease of use.  We’ll have a lot more about the new site in the Welcome Article that will appear on the day of the launch.

    Until this Saturday there will be no more stories added to the present LuLa site.  All articles previously published for the last 15 years will be available when we launch the new site this weekend.  

    Sometime Friday afternoon the Luminous-Landscape site will go offline and be replaced with a Coming Soon Splash Screen.  This will also go for the Forum.  So if you have posting for the forum please finish them by Friday morning.  The forum will relaunch where it was stopped with the launch of the new site.

    Once we flip the switch turning the new site on it could take between a few hours and 48 hours for all DNS Servers to see the changes around the world.  If all goes well we expect the new site to go live on Saturday afternoon Eastern Standard time US.

    Thank you for your patience during this transition.

  • 9 February, 2015 – Life as a Photographer

     

    Mark Schacter ponders the question, "What is life like as a photographer?"

    The first thing he ponders  is, “How does life as a photographer differ from life as anything else: a plumber, a bus driver, a nuclear physicist…?”

  • 31 January, 2015 – Panasonic LX-100

     

    Michael reviews the Panasonic LX-100

    Panasonic’s pocket camera is generally excellent and actually appears to have been designed with photographers in mind. However, it is not without its faults – as a frigid walk along the frozen shoreline of Lake Ontario proved. But equipped with a good lens and 4K video, the LX-100 makes an attractive offering.

    Vancouver street photographer JC Wilson spends time on Summer evenings photographing the ebb & flow of customers and workers in an Asian night market.

  • 23 January, 2015 – Antarctica and Svalbard

     

    We are very busy prepping for our two back to back Antarctica workshops.  Michael and I are flying to Santiago on Saturday the 23rd and we will not be returning until the 12th of February.  This will be an exciting two trips.  We have two fantastic groups and I am sure as we have found on every trip we have made to Antarctica it will be special.  This will especially be true for myself as I will be getting married on the first trip. We’ll have full details and pictures when we return.

    Today we announce the northern polar region workshop we will be doing this summer.  Svalbard 2015 – Land Of The Polar Bear.  Taking place August 30th – September 8th. This workshop will have Michael and me as leaders and instructors.  This is a small intimate 11 person workshop and it will be quite special.  This past year we did two back to back workshops in Svalbard and both trips were amazing.  You can read about this past years trip HERE.   Check it out and book your spot today.

    We will post an article if the internet holds up from Santiago at the beginning of next week.  Chris who will be manning the shop while we are gone will also post a few articles in our absence.  And, when we return we will dive right into the launch of the new LuLa website on February 14th.
