All Sorts

The three images this week comprise a close-up, architecture and a minimalist style landscape. BLISTERED Fujifilm X-E2, Fujinon XF18-55mm F/2.8-4 The close-up is a metal post supporting a gate. I really liked the blistered and crumbling patina on the metal. Looking at the out-of-focus background you might be forgiven for assuming that the aperture … Continue reading All Sorts →

Seeing it how it is

What I like about using mirrorless cameras is the ability to see what your photograph will look like in the electronic viewfinder as you take the shot.

I thought I would still use my Nikon's for most of my work, but instead, I started to … Continue reading The wind of change →
