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).

Friday image No.010
As some of you may already have gathered, I love Infrared Photography. It's much more frustrating than traditional photography to create good images but the challenge makes it more rewarding. It also opens up a new world of seeing as scenes can take on a completely different appearance. Also, when the time of day or … Continue reading Friday image No.010
RX100 V’s LX5 and LX7 – Part 1
It’s funny how the same questions keep coming up in photography and this is one of them. Which is the better camera the RX100 or the LX5/LX7? I see people arguing on forums, it comes up as a search term in the traffic stats for this sight and I even receive emails asking this. I … Continue reading RX100 V’s LX5 and LX7 – Part 1
Bad Weather Photography
Last week I wrote about how I visited Blackpool to photograph the storms when the bad weather hit.

Each storm brings huge amounts of rain (for the UK at least), … Continue reading Bad Weather Photography

Despite the poor conditions I was able to capture a few images where the operation of the RX10 … Continue reading RX10 Starts to Impress

Instead I resorted to trying to shoot with the LX7 but ended up switching that for my Infrared camera. This was … Continue reading First problems with the Sony RX10
Return of the LX
Regular readers may recall my decision a few months back to sell the Panasonic LX5, as I wasn't using the camera. Most of the time when I needed a compact camera I was taking the Sony RX100 which is a great little camera and much more compact than the LX5 (when the filter adapter was … Continue reading Return of the LX
The Friday Image 003
The past couple of weeks I have failed miserably to publish a Friday image. My best intentions went out of the window due to being away both weekends so I am trying to make up for it with this image. On the surface there is nothing particularly excellent or stunning about it. It is however … Continue reading The Friday Image 003
When is an A Series Filter not an A Series Filter
I want to share with you a valuable lesson about filters. Those of you reading this blog regularly will no doubt be aware of the importance I place on the use of filters, particularly ND Graduated filters, for Landscape Photography. For some time I have wanted to try out the reverse ND graduated filters that … Continue reading When is an A Series Filter not an A Series Filter
