Out and About: Embleton, Northumbria

This is another shot from Northumberland, taken on the second day of my trip to the coast there. The shot is of the castle ruin, Dunstanburgh, from the beach at Embleton. Once again the weather was very windy and very cold. Most of the time on the beach was spent trying to hold the camera … Continue reading Out and About: Embleton, Northumbria →

Out and About – Seahouses

For the last few days I have been in the north of England with my new Fuji’s. I have been to Northumberland a few times before and it is truly a beautiful rugged county. It so happens that the trip coincided with one of the coldest snaps that the UK has seen for a few … Continue reading Out and About – Seahouses →

Out and About: Worcester

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 →

Out and About: Croome Park

I have been a little tardy of late in updating A Sensored View but here's a picture I took at Croome Park of the Marshall ladies. It was taken in a small stone shelter with the ambient light coming from just over my left shoulder. I took the image as ever in RAW, so the … Continue reading Out and About: Croome Park →

Fuji and Kaizen

As someone who is leaving Nikon to move to Fuji, I came across an interesting and gratifying comment made by Fuji managers Toshihisa Iida and Makoto Oishi when they met imaging-resource.com. At one point they were discussing the principal of Kaizen,which is the Japanese practice of continuous development of a project. The Fuji representatives said: Toshihisa Iida: Of … Continue reading Fuji and Kaizen →

Delving into the past.

Now that I have finally got back up to date with my processing after falling nearly two years behind because of the course with the Open College of the Arts, printing for the gallery and preparing for the RPS distinction, I thought I would sort out any anomalies in my Lightroom catalog. It was whilst … Continue reading Delving into the past. →
