Outdoor Photographer Magazine?

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

I stopped subscribing to all print media in 2010 when I had an extended assignment overseas and have not started up any again.
I infrequently dip into the online version of Outdoor Magazine and their website. I find the articles informative and good value. BUT - it is very US centric and for those of us who live and work outwith the USA the travel and favourite locations sections are less useful.
They cover a broad spectrum of outdoor shooting activities -- and yes that includes some sports as well.

Another, but less popular, source is Luminous Landscapes, who seem to be gathering a resurgence following the demise of their founder and Chris, his son, taking the reins. Their magazine was only available online to me and it was a great read.
I'm biased, but I think it's gone downhill; they have a lot of ads, and mostly articles are glowing endorsements of ads. I write for Nature Photographer Magazine, and the owner/publisher, Helen, is wonderful; I discovered it a few years ago and was accepted as a field contributor. Lots of great photos and it's thick; mostly articles, not many ads; a labor of love. Worth checking out.
I get Nature's Best in print, well worth the price.
I look forward to visiting each of these online. If you will, could you please add URL links for these to make it easier for readers to visit them online? Thank you.
 
The latest issue is printed on poor quality paper. I was just billed $27 for the next year and per my books I have paid $10.98 each for the last 5 years. I will in the spirit of cooperation remain a subscriber for the coming year and then will likely let it go. Unfortunately I imagine if many others do that also it will cease publication.
Like a restaurant that lowers both quality and quantity to save on operating costs, it is likely doomed to failure.
