Cameras and @#~%$£ Glasses
I hate glasses. I've worn them since I was fourteen and I still hate them. I have worn contact lenses at some points in my life and used together with cameras they made looking through the viewfinder a pleasure. Then I got older and started to wear varifocals. My close-up sight is OK but my … Continue reading Cameras and @#~%$£ Glasses
How I came to Fuji
Further to my last post, I have been out and about with my new X-T3 and I loved it. All my concerns about my thumb getting in the way whilst I back-button focus from the AF-L button were unfounded. Said digit seemed to not get in the way at all. To be honest I loved … Continue reading How I came to Fuji
X-Pro3?
Today I said no to the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and purchased an X-T3. My main camera is an X-Pro2 which is great and I really wanted a third model to come out so I saved up my pennies. When I heard the announcement of the release of the X-Pro 3 I was really looking forward to … Continue reading X-Pro3?
A matter of confidence?

However, when it came to my photography, I always had doubts that it was good enough. This self-critique in itself is obviously a good thing.

It’s up to you whether you take the images as a close-up or as still-lives. If the latter, ensure that the object is set up in … Continue reading Photo Project
It was a good ‘un
As I have already said I have been going through my archives and printing the images that I like and think warrant it. Whilst going through the photo in my database I obviously have images that have been made on cameras that I no longer have. Cameras like the Olympus four-thirds (not micro) cameras E-30, … Continue reading It was a good ‘un

The famous collective is 70 years old and the exhibition charts its aims, ideas and ideals., The exhibition features group and individual projects and includes over two hundred prints, many books, … Continue reading Magnum Manifesto Exhibition
Re-working and printing
For the last three or four months I have been going through all of the processed and finished monochrome images in my Lightroom catalogue and have started to print them to A4 size. My intention is to print the photographs and keep them in archive boxes labelled for each year or collections of years. To … Continue reading Re-working and printing
