[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I subscribe to Amatuer Photographer from the U.S. It costs about $190/year, which is a bit pricy. But it's a weekly, and 15-20 minutes of photo stuff each week is very nice. The portfolios are usually of high quality, and the reviews seem a bit more inclined to criticize something, at least from a handling persepctive, if nothing else. Rather than the PP in the U.S., which doesn't seem to dislike anything. PP doesn't seem to have any head-to-head comparisons or reviews. I especially like the classic camera articles about once/month. I REALLY liked the UK magazine that was discontinued last year, Photo Techniques. I was sorry to see it go, but at least some of its quality got folded into AP. If anyone doesn't read AP, it's worth the subscription to me. Just don't get the 3rd class, it takes FOREVER to get to the U.S., and you can get 4-6 weeks gaps around holiday time. Go for the class that ships it via air to the U.S, and then redistributes it via ground here. I only have about a 2 week delay.
