Is there a good photography mag worth buying? Just to have a read through, preferably one with a few photography tips for a noob. Had a look in Sainbury tonight but there were various and wasnt sure.
I used to get the PhotoPlus Canon edition.. was alright but I ended up with over a years worth and realised I was out growing it... it's super basic (well I think so) but at the same time I did pick some useful tips up when I were a noob.
British Journal of Photography (http://www.bjp-online.com/) is the only one thats worth looking at imo. The others just talk about gear, which tbh you can get better advice on online.
Practical Photography isn't too bad for projects/ideas etc. The problem with all of them is that they just cycle through the same stuff every year though, so after 12 months you've pretty much seen everything.
I occasionally get a photography mag when I'm travelling (on expenses! ).
Tbh, most cover the same things all the time. Pretty much all of which you can find online anyway.
The best buy for me is one of those magazine book things, which covers A LOT of things, and does contain a lot of useful info. I think one was called 'The essential guide to landscape photography'. It was 7.99, so more expensive than a mag, but much larger.
