About Leading Lights

The first issue of Leading Lights appeared almost ten years ago, in 1995. The Welsh pharologist Peter Williams published a small sized black and white magazine with the subtitle "The journal of pharology, pilotage and seamarks." In decade Leading Lights developed into a professional magazine with valuable information and full colour photography.
This year Leading Lights is completely modernized. The old magazine format is replaced by a useful loose leaf style, which increases the quality of the print and gives you many more possibilities to enjoy the photography. Have you ever taken a photo out of a magazine to frame it and hang it on a wall in your room? No problem with the lighthouse photos in Leading Lights. Just take the photo out of the ring binder, put it in a frame and hang it on the wall.
