What magazines do you read??

Postby terminaltackle on Tue Apr 11, 2006 10:38 pm

With the internet being what it is and our accessiblity to what seems to be an infinate source of images and information, I thought it would be interesting to see what magazines or newspapers are purchased by members and why.

My list is, Bush and beach (fishing) and Rugby league week (football and the photography aspect) being the 2 regulars. Then when browsing the newsagent I will allways be found in the digital camera and photography sections. I would probably buy 4- 6 of these a year depending on the cover articles.

So what do you buy and why?

I usually buy Men's Health, Photography monthly and an occasional investment / money type magazine.

The best part is swapping magazines with family and friends.

Black and white makes a regular trip home with me, especially any of the special issues. Capture makes an appearence also.

I'll probably have to start buying 'Anxious First Time Fathers' soon.... :shock:
2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc
