Snapper Kirwan Hits The Grauniad

By Jon

Well done to OUTDOORSmagic's virtually resident mountain and travel photography guru Simon 'Snappaer' Kirwan who popped up Saturday's Guardian newspaper Travel section's Best of the Net.

Simon's web site - the-lightbox.com - headed the list and in the Grauniad's words, his pictures 'always merit a visit', which regulars here will know anyway. 'It's not easy,' said the paper, 'to find good prose and striking photography among the morass of brochurese and stock pictures on the web'.

If you haven't been there already, go take a look at the site, and if you're wondering how you can make your own mountain photography better, check out Simon's excellent article on this site 'Improve Your Mountain Photography'...

Meanwhile, for some 'out there' mountain photos, check out my old friend Kyle Amstadter's new web site at www.mtnphotos.com for some nice pics from Peru and Kyrgyzstan with more to come in the future.
