It’s been my normal Wednesday off work and the weather having been very wet the last couple of days meant that my intended visit to Kenilworth castle would probably be quite boggy. The weather today started brighter however and I was hopeful to get some atmospheric shots of the castle. The day started with me … Continue reading Kenilworth castle

Not seeing the wood for the trees
Yesterday Mrs M and I took a trip down to London. We were going to have a walk around the National gallery, something that we hadn’t done for some years. We rolled into Euston Station and made our way to the gallery. It was London. It was raining. It was grey. But at least it wasn’t cold. … Continue reading Not seeing the wood for the trees
Oiled and feeling dirty
Wet cleaning the sensor on your camera is something that most photographers have to face at some point. When I used Olympus DSLR’s I never needed to worry about dust or dirt on the sensor their superb automatic sensor cleaning process seemed to take care of any problems. Since moving to Nikon and full-frame cameras … Continue reading Oiled and feeling dirty
Clive on Bob Books.
Not long to go now before the 365 – 2014 project ends. I had completed a 365 project back in 2012 (which you can see here) and had approached that in a different way to the current one. This time I decided to use only colour, then I used black and white and always with … Continue reading Clive on Bob Books.
Your own vision
Since I came back from my trip to Scotland, I have not had the chance to process any of the images. I have a workflow that I like to stick to and that includes working my way through each shoot in chronological order. This is just the way I prefer to approach my processing. However … Continue reading Your own vision

I don't print my own, I have mooted it but at the moment my time is taken up with taking pictures and processing them. I'm still going through those photographs I took in March of this … Continue reading Get ’em printed.
Changes
From the start of September, I am only working four days a week – I now have Wednesday’s off. The idea was Mrs M’s who decided that I needed to step away from work a little more. Our circumstances have enabled us to contemplate doing this and after initial misgivings I agreed to do it. … Continue reading Changes
Just hangin’

A wee dram or five.
I've just received my 'Drinks by the Dram' 'tester' kit of Tomintoul whisky that I ordered from Masters of Malt. Tomintoul is supposed to be a gentle whisky with a light palate. In the nicely presented box are 5cl (30ml) of the following expressions:Tomintoul 10 year oldTomintoul 12 year old Oloroso Sherry caskTomintoul 14 year oldTomintoul … Continue reading A wee dram or five.
Middle-aged men should not do combat-rolls.
Mrs M and I went to Batsford Arborteum to day for a wander and for me to try out the new 50mm standard lens with the D800.Everything was going really well, getting some pictures, enjoying the trees, flowers and sun when I hit a cunning trap laid by some subversive Nikon hater. My right foot … Continue reading Middle-aged men should not do combat-rolls.
