We have some superb shots in the gallery for the first edition; get out there and keep your eyes peeled for the master shot, then shoot it and send it in to us for consideration.

New Phoenix member Russell Saxton tells us about himself and what inspires his photography in Photographer Profile.

Shoot into the light! This editions competition is themed “Into the light” shoot into that winter sun and you’ll surprise yourself; possibly! Closing date for entries is the end of April.

Travelling railway photographic folios and how they can improve your photography, we tell you all.

Please remember the aims here are to offer readers/visitors to the magazine (You!) the opportunity to contribute in both terms of photography, articles and letters.

Thank you to all those who have submitted material so far, great photography and text; I'm really looking forward to No 2!
