Repeating themes
 
After years of buying photo magazines I have noticed an increasing trend to repeat articles over a two year period even to the extent of using the same images.
They also seem to do tripod reviews, bag reviews and filter reviews above other things.
I would like to see articles on software, accessories, places to visit and things that help to inspire you.
Maybe I am just getting old but magazines seem to need a bit of curves and levels to brighten them up and make them worth the £5 or so they cost.

I noticed the same thing when I started out on digital photography. I guess that there's only so much that can be said. However, I did learn a thing or two from magazines in my first couple of years.

One of my "problems" is all the editing / manipulation articles are for PS or light room,
and a lot are for "manufactured" images rather than photographs.

When I switched to digital I found the same thing. First year I'd buy lots of mags after 2 years stopped buying as just repeats. Such is life.

The same situation has been faced by almost each one of us!

The bitter truth everyone is facing these days!

It's just as well really there's only a limited space in the house for keeping old magazines. I've made a point of downloading some very old photographic magazines from archive.org. At least there's been a bit of change in subject matter since 1880 :-)
