Yes
There is a new mag called Digital Photography Enthusiast
Issue one is out now.

Anyone else seen it yet ?

I would have a good read in WHSmith's before buying though - it's a little basic, even for me. Too many pages on cheap compacts and mobile phones for my liking. A couple of good articles about cropping and photoshop techniques though.


Good to see a new mag on the shelf, but overall it's a :thumbsdown: from me.


Also - I can't work out how they can have a Readers' Letters and Readers' Gallery when this is the first issue :thinking:
 
No it does not need anymore magazines, I am helping a young lady learn photgraphy at the moment and when she asked me about magazines for technique advice I advised her to look at the slection of monthlys at the local reading wall, find the one she likes the layout of and then buy it for a year. after that all they do is just repeat themsleves, eg, stunning Autumn pics, best ever Black and Whites etc. I know different techniques for photoshop etc appear but in the main all they do is repeat the basic techniques each year as the months and seasons go by.

Bang on, takes a few months when you first start to figure this out, but so true :)
 
My mags are picked up cheaply out of date at the local market, I wont buy them otherwise

Is this the one with Suzy Perry on the cover? If yes, then I picked it up as I needed to pass an hour or so and had nothing to read. Wouldnt buy again as just too basic and trying to cover too large a field.

The only one I buy regularly is Outdoor Photography, and have a digital subscription to Amateur Photographer (at only 50p an issue) which i read on the iPad.

They often use letters that were addressed to other photo mags in the same group.

Many, many years ago, I wrote a letter to a computing mag. I got a letter from the editor saying that a new computing mag was coming out, and would I mind if they used my letter in that, rather than the one I addressed it to.
 
I brought it on a whim the other day and it's an OK read but it doesn't offer anything that other magazines have or even stuff you can find with a quick google search. I enjoyed reading the photographer profiles and the interview with Suzi Perry was good but no worth the £3.99 I spent on it :(

Aye, that's the one. Agree it's trying to cover far too much in too few pages and with not enough detail.
