Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society

Back in March I posted that my photographs were ready to be sent to the Royal Photographic Society in order to be assessed for the award of Licentiate.

Out and About: Seahouses

As you can guess from the interval between my last post and this one, I’m a little bit behind at the moment with processing images.

This was taken in the harbour of the town of Seahouses where we were staying. … Continue reading Out and About: Seahouses →

Out and About: Embleton, Northumbria

Our phototrip this time was to Worcester where the main part of the walk was along the east bank of the river and then inside the cathedral. The weather was warm and sunny and it bought many people out along the riverside to enjoy the spring sun and temperature. After a short walk along the … Continue reading Out and About: Worcester →

Out and About – Bradgate Park

Today Mrs M. and I took advantage of the sunny weather and drove to Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. I took the Fuji X-T1 and the 18-135 lens with me to give it a first try out. I had set the camera up pretty much the same as the X-E2 and as with that camera even … Continue reading Out and About – Bradgate Park →
