Following my last post where I was sharing my first experiences of the Olympus 25mm lens, I thought I would share another image. I shot quite a few images that I would class as "texture" but I found this brickwork particularly fascinating. The salt crystals corroding the bricks make a great pattern and the lens … Continue reading Friday image No.019

New Lens for the EM5
Along with my recent purchase of a Panasonic Lumix GM1, I also picked up an Olympus 25mm prime lens. This weekend I had my first opportunity to use it properly. My first general impression is that the lens is well constructed and feels to have a nice level of quality. It’s nice to see that … Continue reading New Lens for the EM5

This is another of my images from last week's London trip. For those of you not familiar with the skyline, the large domed building is the Gherkin. And the building in front of it covered in ducting and cranes is Lloyds of London which I'm sure must be pretty well known around the world (if … Continue reading Friday image No.018
The Need for Enjoyment
So, here I am in London with a couple of friends for the day and our sole purpose is to enjoy ourselves taking pictures. But I wasn't. Not because this isn't a great city or I wasn't happy being with my friends, I just wasn't inspired. I was taking photographs but I wasn't creating photography. … Continue reading The Need for Enjoyment
A Note of Thanks
I would like to publish a note of thanks to the security officers at Canary Wharf in London. Yesterday I visited London with a couple of friends as tourists to take pictures. One of our locations was Docklands with the intention of photographing some of the icon architecture including Canary Wharf. Waiting for our friend … Continue reading A Note of Thanks

It's a 6 second exposure which I captured on the Olympus EM5. I used a Hi-Tech 8 stop ND filter from their ProStop IRND range (here is … Continue reading Friday image No.017
Walking through History
With it being a Bank Holiday in the UK today and for once the weather not being terrible, I went for a walk. I like quite near to the Peak District National Park but for some reason I seldom visit. Today I decided I wanted a good walk in the hills so drove over to … Continue reading Walking through History

This week's Friday image is another shot from my Filey trip last weekend. Here is the spit of land that juts out into the sea and forms the Filey Brigg. The low setting sun was an amazing transformation from the grey sky of the earlier day. Have a great weekend.
Playing Around
I have just been playing around with some of my images from the trip to Filey at the weekend. Here is another of the images shot from Filey Brigg. The Brigg is a huge lump of rock extending out into the sea. It's quite dark, moody and dare I say it, difficult to photograph. This … Continue reading Playing Around
Infrared on the Brigg
First off, sorry there was no Friday image this week. With everything else I had on, I just couldn't fit it in. One of the things I was doing was visiting Filey on the East Coast of England with a friend. We didn't have great weather but we did manage to capture some interesting shots. … Continue reading Infrared on the Brigg
