That there are several FREE photography magazines out there. While visiting with  bergiekat last week, I realized there must be tons of new members to our site who don't know about these links to totally free and trustworthy industry magazines:
Range Finder (Free to U.S. & Canada)
Studio Photography(Free to U.S. & Canada)
After Capture (Free to U.S. only)
(BTW - 'studio photography' is NOT just for those with a studio; plenty of good information in there... and its FREE people!!!)
Anyone who already gets these mags, let our friends know if you like them or not, k? I happen to enjoy all of them!

(HINT - Just sign up as a pro & get it over with; none of the rest of us have been visited by secret agent men...yet! LOL)
ETA - How can I resist a 'please' from Judi! ;) (see her post below)

I get Studio Photography.
Expect a ton of ads, even within articles, and everything is very product oriented.
Like in the middle of a paragraph they will throw in something about how much the NEW MAC BOOK CX %9592 PRO MODEL is the best thing ever or something.
You an get good tips though, but I would take the product reviews with a grain of salt, cause they are sponsors so its not so much unbiased. |

Thanks for the info on these. I was wondering if there were any other magazines that are worth the anual subscription. Most that I have seen cover the new hardware but are short on tips and tecniques.
Thanks ahead for any suggestions you may have. |

This is a very new magazine which I stumbled upon recently. It's very nice - high quality and extremely interesting.
PhotoIcon
I don't know if it's readily available in North America, although I assume so, since pricing is in USD, even though it's a European publication. It has a heavy fine art bias and so far I haven't seen too many equipment reviews or photoshop tips and hints, which seem to make up the majority of photo mags these days. I liked it so much I subscribed.
ETA: The publisher is based in Portugal, although edtorial, distribution etc appears to based in UK. (Not relevant I know!)
Edit: Available in UK, US, Australia, Italy, Spain, Croatia, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, New Zealand, Canada, etc. (Taken from the magazine itself). Actually, I bought it in Finland and that's not listed!

Yeah. Wouldn't it be handy if there was an option to watch threads that appeared in that dropdown box at the top of each thread? Someone should get on that. ;) |

And maybe a link to the watched threads in the My Home menu... That'd be sweet! =) I don't use watched threads much. Maybe they should be more usable?
For the sake of posting on-topic, I've looked at Digital Photo Pro Magazine... It's ok, but I probably wouldn't pay for it. Their website gives you a peek into some pages of the issues - it's too small to read, but can catch your eye with the images. Lots of high-end ads - where they don't give you any specs or a price, just show you a sample image and the professional who took it, and assume you can guess the 4-5 figure price from there. |

Rangefinder came fairly quick after subscribing. I think it was only a few weeks. |

I seem to remember each of them taking anywhere from 3-6 weeks (depending on where your request falls in their printing / mailing cycle). Yes, they do have advertisements {some more than others} but that is a very small price to pay for receiving valuable industry information each month...
You are very welcome Judi - thank YOU for reminding me to think more internationally! |

| Another photography oriented on-line magazine is The Digital Journalist that gives tremendous insight into the world of working photographic journalists. It's free and if you sign up, you get a reminder when the next issue is ready. (and that's all, no junk mail) I find it fascinating reading. |
