Healesville

Healesville Victoria Australia. Lumix DMC-LX1. 6.3 mm. ISO 80. 1/400 sec at f/4. Copyright Joanne Mason 2011.

This is Healesville, Victoria, Australia. Healesville is in about 50km north from Melbourne. The image shows the town of Healesville at the foot of the Yarra Ranges. The high foreground peak just behind the town is Mount Riddell. Among Healesville’s attractions is the →Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary, of which I have very fond memories and the main reason I liked Healesville. Healesville was seriously threatened in the 2009 Victorian fires disaster (and this image was shot before the fires); the town itself and the sanctuary were spared. Though most people think (accurately) of Australia as being mostly desert and outback, the coastal and near-coastal regions are lush. The Victorian countryside in areas like Healesville is truly charming.   (I’m raiding the archives; I don’t think I’ve posted this image before but may have.) Joanne

New iPad Photo Magazine

There’s a new photography magazine on the iPad – Photographer’s i (I assume that’s a play on Photographer’s Eye. But it’s iPad, so…  eye… i… ). This first issue is great, and Photographer’s i looks like it may become one of the prime iPad-based photo magazines available.

Photographer’s i was designed ground up for the iPad, and it features a level of iPad interactivity and user effectiveness unknown in other magazines except possibly for the British Journal of Photography and one or two others.

Don’t miss previous review of iPad photography magazines…

Unlike most photography magazines – but similar to a few good ones like the British Journal and Aperture – Photographer’s i is not devoted to pages and pages of gear reviews and ads or endless how-to’s. The tutorials are there, but they are sophisticated and helpful. More to the point, Photographer’s i is devoted to the photographer’s craft, the art of making pictures.

More after the jump…
