I have no will power

A couple of weeks back I was out with my friend Steve (who is also an Olympus EM5 owner) and we were discussing just how good this camera is. At the time we agreed that we didn’t want for anything so would stop all this chasing around after new kit and just work with what … Continue reading I have no will power →

Friday Image No.015

I have been so busy this past week that I hadn't realised Friday had come round again. Then I realised that I didn't have an image to share so I started to look back over my shots from last year. A lot of the folders I have done nothing with. Despite this there are a … Continue reading Friday Image No.015 →

Infrared Filters

Over the weekend I published my spring newsletter. Those of you who subscribe and who have had an opportunity to read the latest issue will know that the main article explores the options for infrared photography (including some that cost very little). As I was writing this it got me thinking that I wanted to … Continue reading Infrared Filters →

Friday image No.014

This week's Friday Image is taken from last weekend's trip to Wales. It's such a shame the weather didn't come up to expectations but then again there were periods of dramatic light and weather. Here you can see a hail storm crossing the valley. Have a great weekend.

Busy without focus

This past few weeks has been a little odd in terms of my photography. I seem to have built up lots of unfinished activities which I am struggling to complete. I have my quarterly newsletter (in which I like to include a decent article), a shoot in Wales last weekend, a book on Nik Color … Continue reading Busy without focus →

Friday image No.013

This weeks Friday image isn't anything spectacular. I captured this on my trip to London last week and for those of you who are not familiar with the UK, this is the BT Tower, which was formally known as the Post Office Tower. At least it was when I was young when this was an … Continue reading Friday image No.013 →

Printing Revelation

It’s funny how we become locked into a way of thinking and acting as the result of conditions that no longer apply. Unless we are prepared to constantly experiment and challenge ourselves we don’t even recognise this is happening. Here’s one example from my very recent past. After I blogged the Friday Image last week … Continue reading Printing Revelation →

Friday image No.012

I spent this week away on a well earned break in London, celebrating my 25th Wedding Anniversary. Wow, how time flies. As you can see from the image above I managed to take some photographs of London - but not what you might expect. This one was the staircase in the hotel we were staying … Continue reading Friday image No.012 →

Friday image No.011

I love reflections., I find them fascinating and beautiful whether created on manmade surfaces or in nature. I suppose the ones we find in nature are the ones that really enthral me and I can't help reaching for my camera. Here is one from my walk last weekend in Jumbles Country park near to Bolton. … Continue reading Friday image No.011 →
