Editorial Reviews: Outdoor Photographer contains practical information and tips regarding photographing nature, wildlife, sports, and landscape. Regular columns cover developments in 35mm and digital photography, camera accessories, film, lenses, outdoor gear and apparel, travel, ecological concerns, and workshops. Much of the information is highly technical, with discussions of lighting, exposure, filters, setup, and the right gear to take on location. Every issue also contains travel articles and a "Favorite Places" column that details great spots for outdoor photography, including how to get there, what to take, and the best times to visit.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Extraordinarily slow Comment: Good magazine at a very good price but who is willing to wait over four months for the first issue? Not me, not again. They advertise the first issue should arrive in 6-10 weeks. It actually took 18 weeks. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't Subscribe - Lousy Customer Service Comment: As an enthusiastic hobbyist photographer I was eager to subscribe to Outdoor Photographer. Especially given the fact that I got an e-mail offering a special annual promotional subscription rate to it from Amazon. Well, I had the same experience that other reviewers here have stated. Only worse! I didn't even get to the subscription processing stage! I was notified that Outdoor Photographer canceled my order because they wouldn't honor the promotion. I'm going back to only buying 1-2 issues/year in my favorite brick & mortar bookstore. Stay away from this publisher and its publication subscriptions. Maybe if they're boycotted they'll smart up about how to serve their customer base... Customer Rating: Summary: 5 stars, and more Comment: I love this magazine, everything from the helpful articles to the outstanding photography. There are always many useful items being reviewed which is very useful. I will be renewing this subscription for many years to come. Customer Rating: Summary: No longer worth the price! Comment: I've been an "Outdoor Photographer" subscriber for many years and have watched the magazine slide steadily downhill. My current subscription expires in December and I won't be renewing for 2010. The latest renewal price from the publisher is $21.97 (a heck of a way to reward loyal subscribers)! More than most photo mags, OP blurs the line between editorial content and advertising. The lack of objectivity is even more evident in their placement of paid ads -- in most cases, directly adjacent to the article that cites the product or service! Having worked in the publishing industry (trade magazines), I know from experience that the needs of the readers are always secondary to the needs of advertisers, but OP has gone too far. I dropped "Popular Photography" last year for much the same reason. I currently subscribe to "Digital Photo Pro" and "Photoshop User," as well as many photo-related websites and blogs. Save your money to travel and create new photo opportunities! Customer Rating: Summary: About the best photography magazine out there Comment: If you want to learn or just expand your vision, this is a great magazine. I've subscribed for many, many years.
