Was sitting in the waiting room at a car dealership this morning, and they had an issue of a magazine called "Rangefinder" sitting there. I'd never heard of it before, but after a quick glance, it seemed to be a really nice photography magazine.
I checked out their web site when I got into work today, and it turns out, it's free! I'd recommend checking it out, if you get the chance. http://www.rangefindermag.com
Brent,
I used to get it when I was a member of the Englewood Camera Club. Good publication but not enough landscape in it for me. As I remember, quite a bit general commercial photography.

Pat - Good to hear from you again! Where have you been hiding?
Yeah, it definitely wasn't landscape-oriented, but there seemed to be a lot of interesting info. The issue I looked at (think it was over a year old) had interesting articles about flash, macro, and some Photoshop techniques, that could be applied to almost any type of subject. It also had this interesting 'photo art' article about some of Darwin Wiggett's photography.

The free to qualified professionals is quite common in different industries as it allows them to sell your name to 3rd party companies. The amount of mail I get isn't that bad.
After Capture which is a sister publication to Rangerfinder is also available free to qualified professionals.

Yeah, I was planning to check out After Capture, too. From what I've read, it's only free with your subscription number to Rangefinder, so I have to wait until Rangefinder shows up to sign up for After Capture.

After Capture is FANTASTIC! http://www.aftercapture.com/
That is a good Mag as is AfterCapture! I've seen it around a few times myself.!

Yes, this is a great magazine. So is After Capture.
They're marketed to wedding and portrait photographers, as the publisher either is or is closely tied to WPPI, a major wedding and portrait photographer association.
