I’ll start with an apology that I haven’t posted to the blog this week. I’ve been out taking photos (that’s what I’m supposed to do after all) and working on the Lenscraft website. If you follow my YouTube Channel you will already have seen todays Friday Image. I won’t make any apologies for this though … Continue reading Friday Image No.195
I was out at Bamford Edge last night with a friend. It’s somewhere that I have wanted to photograph for a long time. Despite living only 50 minutes away and walking regularly in the area, I have never been. But with the heather being out, I couldn’t miss the opportunity. In all honesty, I wasn’t … Continue reading Friday Image No.194
Recently, I decided to buy a Lensbaby for my Fuji X-T2. I’m not really sure why, but I had this idea that I wanted to do some macro work with it. I’ve seen some great flower shots done with a Lensbaby in the past and thought, with all the nice weather it would be good … Continue reading I Bought a Lensbaby

As we made our way down to the beach for what we were sure would be an amazing sunrise, our expectations were sky high. … Continue reading Finding Hidden Gems in Your Work

You can then pick the Nik Collection plugin you want to use from the list. But life and Lightroom aren’t always quite this simple. Have you tried to use … Continue reading How to use the Nik Collection in Lightroom
After a short break in Amsterdam last week, I’m now getting back into the groove of doing some work. This week’s Friday image is one I shot whilst I was in Amsterdam (what a great city and nice people by the way - I’m definitely going to return for another visit). This shot isn’t what … Continue reading Friday Image No. 192.
It’s been some time since it’s rained here properly. The last time was back on the 25th May. I remember it well because it was the Saddleworth Band Contest and that was the first time it had rained in weeks. Yesterday morning we had a brief shower and last night we had heavier rain. It … Continue reading Friday Image No.191
