  • 11 September, 2014 – Upgrading To The Leaf Credo 80

     

    This is date I hope many of us take a moment to reflect on as it is the anniversary of 9/11.  This was a most tragic day and one I’ll never forget.  Please remember those that have fallen and those that serve.  I have two sons in the military (Navy and Army) as well as a daughter in law serving in the Army.  Like all their brothers in arms they serve with dedication so we can live the lives we do.  I am very proud of them. Also, don’t forget all of those victims of that day, and those that served and have not come home.  Let’s hope we can get through the challenges ahead.  As the FDNY says "Never Forget"  

    Continuing with our articles on Medium Format we share a story by Robb Williamson today, Upgrading To The Leaf Credo 80.  Not only is Robb a great photographer, but he is a detailed writer.  He shares with us his decision and process of making an upgrade to the Leaf Credo 80.  He also gives good insight into using technical cameras with medium format digital backs.

    Michael and Kevin leave for Cologne, Germany on Sunday and they will be covering Photokina.  This is the largest photo show in the world and happens only every other year.  Unlike in the past when most manufacturers actually announced products at the show, mostly everything that is new has already been announced.  As usual though, there will be surprises.  Michael and Kevin have a number of interviews set-up with some of the big wigs of the industry.  They will be making regular and daily reports on what they see and hear.  So, check in regularly next week to keep up on the latest.

    LuLa also has a number of soon to be released videos as well as a large number of interesting articles and reviews.  We’ll be working hard during the next few months to give you more content and informative articles as well as announcing some new workshops for the next two years.  Plus we’ll have a few surprises too.

  • 7 September, 2014 – Why Medium Format

     

    Having been a medium format shooter for the last 13 years I don’t need a lot of arm twisting when it comes to medium format digital.  It’s always good to hear though from someones as they tell their story about making the switch to medium format.  Today we share Andy Biggs’s article Why Medium Format.  Andy, a well respected wildlife and landscape shooter takes us through his journey of adopting the medium format digital Phase One system.  Read about the ins and outs of making the switch and what he learned along the way.  Enjoy!

  • 6 September, 2014 – Join Michael In Antarctica

     

    This January and February Luminous-Landscape is once again traveling to Antarctica. This is a trip of a lifetime.  If you are a passionate photographer of nature and landscapes then this is a once in a lifetime trip.  This is a fly over the Drake Passage which avoids 5 days of sailing in some of the roughest seas in the world. We have assembled without a doubt one of the best line-ups of instructors for a workshop  – ever.  Now we are adding Michael Reichmann to the list.  Michael, the founder of Luminous-Landscape and the Luminous-Endowment will be joining us for both trips.  

    I’m thrilled that Michael can join us.  If you have ever wanted to be part of one of Michael’s workshop then this is the one. With Michael’s involvement with The Endowment now it is hard for him to find the time to do workshops like this.  We have only a few spots left on each trip.  It’s not too late to be part of an amazing adventure with some amazing photographers and world class instructors.

    Kevin Raber, CEO & Publisher of Luminous-Landscape will be having a one man show at the Tarkington Gallery in Indianapolis opening on Friday, September 12, 2014.  The Gallery is located at 4000 N. Meridian Street, Indianapolis, Indiana.  If you are in the area please joint Kevin for an opening reception from 5:30 – 7:30 PM on the evening of the 12th.  Kevin will be displaying a selection of large prints he has made from around the globe.  Any questions please EMAIL Kevin.
