National Geographic best photography?
Discussion
I always thought so, but I went to the shop on Regents St yesterday where they also have a gallery and a good number of the images left me cold. I have a few vintage issues of NG with some amazing pictures in though, so maybe I just caught the exhibition on a bad day.
'Best images' is pretty subjective and I suppose depends on the subject matter you are interested in, but as a magazine you can pick up from a newsagent rather than have to specifically search out they are impressive - perhaps they have the best 'easily accessible in one place' photography.

Should have added in OP "irrespective of subject matter"'Best images' is pretty subjective and I suppose depends on the subject matter you are interested in, but as a magazine you can pick up from a newsagent rather than have to specifically search out they are impressive - perhaps they have the best 'easily accessible in one place' photography.

I've got a couple of National Geographic books, they aren't expensive and are nice for the coffee table. They're better for showing to Grandma than the David LaChappelle ones....
I'm getting quite a collection of Photography books , maybe we should start a Wiki of reviews. I'll set one up. Maxf said:

Couldn't agree more. The older ones were probably ground-breaking in their time, but the more modern ones left me thinking I couldn't do much worse! Don't know if it's true, but it's how it made me feel.'Best images' is pretty subjective and I suppose depends on the subject matter you are interested in, but as a magazine you can pick up from a newsagent rather than have to specifically search out they are impressive - perhaps they have the best 'easily accessible in one place' photography.
