Oyster (fashion), Capture and Creative (design) mainly. Black and white got a bit repetitive for me.

I don't buy the ones that only discuss about camera gear.

I bought a few "Digital Photography and Design" mags a few years ago, but they started leaning more towards the design area so I stopped buying those.

I have one "Better Photoshop Tecniques" which I purchased specifically because it dealt with Landscape post processing.

I have a subscription to National Geographic.

Apart from that I tend to prefer online magazines or websites for general photo admiring or tips.

I like 'not just black and white'. Has some great photos. Interesting article to, god forbid. A bit pricey, but worth it. Once your finished with them you can always get rid of them on Ebay also. :D

I find that the photo mags are grossly overpriced so I do not buy any. There are also just so many on the market. Not all will survive.

Camera (film and digital for photographers) Australian, $6-50

Inexpensive. Decent content. Comes out every two months.

I thought that too until I went and looked at some similarly priced computer magazines - at least many of the photography magazines don't contain advertisements on 25% of their pages. I think some are relatively inexpensive considering the content to advertisement ratio.

That said, magazines are still quite expensive when you consider the amount of information available online for free or much lower cost.
