Living in the UK, I’m never that far from the coast, and I love a bit of coastal photography. Now for the bad news. I live in the North West of England, which doesn’t have the rugged coastal beauty of somewhere like Cornwall. Despite this, I do have three locations that I return to repeatedly. … Continue reading My Top 3 Coastal Photography Locations
Last week, I published a post where I shared a few of my bucket list photos taken in Dubai. In that post, I also shared my thoughts about using my iPhone alongside a regular camera. This week, I’ll continue the theme of travel photography with some images from Japan. Whilst I would love to tell … Continue reading My Ideal Travel Camera Kit
If you regularly visit this site, you’ve probably noticed that I haven’t posted anything for over a month. That’s because I’ve been out of the country travelling. First to Dubai, which was then followed by Japan. Both locations have been high on my photography bucket list for years, so I decided it was about time … Continue reading Bucket List Photography With an iPhone
The weather for Wednesday this week looked extremely promising. The forecast was for localised fog with the sun breaking through later in the morning. I decided these would be the perfect conditions for photographing the woodland at Padley Gorge in the Peak District. I arranged to meet up with an old friend at 7:30 am … Continue reading A Day of Lessons in Landscape Photography
As regular readers of my ramblings will know, I have complained about the colours produced by my Panasonic G9. As a result, I even found myself buying an Olympus EM5. After some time with that, I felt extremely pleased with its colours and started using it instead of the G9. Then someone suggested on this … Continue reading Comparing the Olympus EM5 and Panasonic G9 Colours
Towards the end of 2020, I headed out to The Roaches in the Peak District. It’s a popular area with climbers and gives excellent views over the Staffordshire countryside. You may recall that 2020 was when the world was in lockdown with COVID. Because of this, I hadn’t been out much with the camera and … Continue reading Mistakenly Shooting JPEGs
You may already know but I recently purchased an Olympus EM5 Mark III camera. So far, I’ve found the camera a joy to use, and I’ve been delighted by the images and colours produced. One disappointing area however has been the High-Resolution mode which I recently suggested was the camera’s weak spot. When used in … Continue reading Olympus EM5 Mark III High Resolution Mode
I’ll soon be making a trip which involves a fair amount of trekking, some of which will be in mountain areas. But as well as trekking, I’ll be shooting regular travel photography and need to be confident in the quality of the photos. Most of the images will be used on the internet, but some … Continue reading Obsessing Over Camera Equipment
As I mentioned last week I bought a new camera, a used Olympus EM5. It’s an excellent camera and I love the colours. Last weekend I took it out for a trial and managed a few nice images but also ruined a few for reasons I’ll outline. Recently I’ve been experiencing problems with flare when … Continue reading Forgetting the Basics of Photography
Last week, I shared that I had purchased a used Olympus EM5 Mark iii, along with a couple of images from its first outing. I’ve now been out with the camera a few more times and I’m still extremely impressed, although I may have found a weakness. Here is another heather image from the Peak … Continue reading Is This The EM5’s Weak Spot?
