Escape into the wilderness with our action-packed June issue and learn how to shoot and process authentic looking landscapes with Alex Nail’s in-depth guide; join us as we talk to Swedish photographer Magnus Lindbom about his passion for dramatic landscapes; celebrate the 60th anniversary of the first successful ascent of Everest as we delve into a new photobook marking the occasion; and Paul Harris reflects on the creative joys of collaboration.

David Baker’s wonderful use of light produces a magical shot in the New Forest, Pete Bridgwood adds a human element to his atmospheric Scottish sunset scene, and Jeff Tucker gets a scare he’ll never forget while on a photographic trip in the Brecon Beacons. We’ve got 10 inspiring locations to shoot this month, including viewpoints in Norfolk and the Highlands.

On test this month, Andy Luck puts Nikon’s latest mid-range DSLR, the D5200 to the test, and Perfect Photo Suite 7, the photo-editing package from onOne Software, goes under the OP spotlight. Meanwhile, Judy Armstrong puts four of the best lightweight sports sandals through their paces to keep our feet cool and comfortable.
