Mark and Keith met up just outside the idyllic Dorset village of Hinton St Mary, where a corridor of beech trees is a favourite haunt for landscape photographers. 'When somebody [...]

In addition to the rules of composition--though perhaps they are better thought of as general guidelines--there are a number of other compositional tricks you can use to organise the frame [...]

One of the biggest problems that landscape photographers face can be summed up quite simply: the world is three-dimensional but the medium in which we are trying to represent it [...]

With trees clad in golden foliage, lovely light and the promise of morning mist sitting in valleys, autumn is the favourite season for most landscape photographers. And it's not just [...]

Photographers often talk about trying to achieve a 'balanced' composition. However, the word 'balance' can be misleading in this context, as that may suggest symmetry and visual balance are not [...]

It's hard not to feel optimistic in spring. After weeks of long nights and dull, grey weather, the days are finally getting longer, the air is beginning to warm up [...]

Despite the increasingly early starts, spring is the favourite time of year for many landscape photographers. It's warm, the weather is--in theory--more settled, and the landscape is starting to come [...]

THE PRO NAME: Mark Bauer CAMERA: Nikon Z 7II Award-winning landscape photographer Mark has photographed the width and breadth of England's southwest. He turned pro over 15 years ago, and [...]

As an island nation, we're drawn to the sea and landscape photographers are certainly no exception - seascapes are among their most popular subjects. Good coastal shots can be full [...]

Objective: To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of external facilitation (EF) vs external + internal facilitation (EF/IF), on uptake of a collaborative chronic care model (CCM) in community practices that were slower to implement under low-level implementation support. Study Setting: Primary data were collected from 43 community practices in Michigan and Colorado at baseline and for 12 months following randomization. Study Design: Sites that failed to meet a pre-established implementation benchmark after six months of low-level implementation support were randomized to add either EF or EF/IF support for up to 12 months. Key outcomes were change in number of patients receiving the CCM and number of patients receiving a clinically significant dose of the CCM. Moderators' analyses further examined whether comparative effectiveness was dependent on prerandomization adoption, number of providers trained or practice size. Facilitation log data were used for exploratory follow-up analyses. Data Collection: Sites reported monthly on number of patients that had received the CCM. Facilitation logs were completed by study EF and site IFs and shared with the study team. Principal Findings: N = 21 sites were randomized to EF and 22 to EF/IF. Overall, EF/IF practices saw more uptake than EF sites after 12 months ([[DELTA].sub.EF/IF-EF] = 4.4 patients, 95% CI = 1.87-6.87). Moderators' analyses, however, revealed that it was only sites with no prerandomization uptake of the CCM (nonadopter sites) that saw significantly more benefit from EF/IF ([[DELTA].sub.EF/IF-EF] = 9.2 patients, 95% CI: 5.72, 12.63). For sites with prerandomization uptake (adopter sites), EF/IF offered no additional benefit ([[DELTA].sub.EF/IF-EF] = -0.9; 95% CI: -4.40, 2.60). Number of providers trained and practice size were not significant moderators. Conclusions: Although stepping up to the more intensive EF/IF did outperform EF overall, its benefit was limited to sites that failed to deliver any CCM under the low-level strategy. Once one or more providers were delivering the CCM, additional on-site personnel did not appear to add value to the implementation effort.

CORFE CASTLE I live just down the road from this incredible 1,000-year-old Dorset landmark, so it's not surprising that I've photographed Corfe Castle more times than I can count. This [...]
