I am a Landscape Photographer based in the North West of England. Unlike most photographers I believe smaller and lighter is better when it comes to cameras and equipment.

More from the Canon G16

In my previous blog post I shared some of my first impressions about the Canon G16 compact camera I had purchased. Today I would like to share a little more about my thoughts about the image quality. Of course these revolve around my approach to photography so may differ from how you would use the … Continue reading More from the Canon G16 →

Canon G16 First Thoughts

In Friday’s blog post I mentioned that I was heading up to the Lake District for some photography. To be honest, I wasn’t particularly hopeful as the plan was to climb some of the hills there and see what took our fancy. The weather forecast in the area was for snow/rain showers at sea level … Continue reading Canon G16 First Thoughts →

Friday Image No. 46

It's a very quick post for this week's Friday image. That's because I have only just got home and I need to pack for a trip to the Lake District tomorrow. Hopefully I can take advantage of the forecast snow. I wasn't too sure which image to post so I thought I would resort to … Continue reading Friday Image No. 46 →

Resolution Broken

I’m currently preparing a presentation on Lightweight Photography for Chorley Photographic Society where I have spoken in the past. As part of this I decided to take a few shots with my Panasonic LX7 when I was out in the Lake District on my last trip. Above you can see one of the images which … Continue reading Resolution Broken →

Friday Image No. 45

This week I want to share with you another image from my recent trip to the Lakes. At the time this was my favourite although this feeling is now fading. I often find this happens. What appeared to be a great/favourite image immediately after a trip is replaced by a different favourite as the memory … Continue reading Friday Image No. 45 →

Catching Up

Well that’s Christmas and New Year over with, at least for another year. It was great in that I managed to see many of my family, some of whom I don’t get to see that often. On the down side I ended up not achieving much on my ever growing list of work. Current projects … Continue reading Catching Up →

Friday Image No. 45

In my previous post I mentioned how I had been up to the Lake District with a friend for an early morning shoot. This image was from the end of the day when amazingly the weather was still working in our favour. I love fog and mist. I think it can transform locations when the … Continue reading Friday Image No. 45 →

An Important Decision

It was an early start yesterday. Up at 4:30 in the morning in order to make the 2 hour journey to Ullswater in the Lake District for a dawn shoot. Despite the early morning start it was without question one of the most enjoyable days photography that I have ever had. Overnight the temperature had … Continue reading An Important Decision →

Something to Say Again

I had a bit of a scare over the holidays that made me realise how sloppy I have become with my backup process. At one time I was pretty rigorous in processing and backing up my images. Everything went into a holding area on my hard drive which was duplicated to a second hard drive. … Continue reading Something to Say Again →

Not much to say for myself

It doesn't happen often but I don't have anything to actually say for myself today. I also feel a little frustrated that I'm looking through my library of work over the past year and I'm somewhat under-inspired by my efforts. Some things catch my attention but when I look more closely I lose interest. I … Continue reading Not much to say for myself →
