It’s another waterfall image this week I’m afraid. This is one of the falls at Keld in the Yorkshire Dales. The weather wasn’t too kind but it doesn’t usually matter when shooting waterfalls or forests. In fact I like the wet weather for this type of scene as it makes the foliage glow with colour. … Continue reading Friday Image No. 64

Compact Camera Image Quality
As regular readers will be aware, I have recently been sharing my thoughts about the Canon G7X camera recently. My previous posting on the subject was a little critical as I had found that on very long exposures, light appeared to be leaking into the camera through the lens barrel. I would now like to … Continue reading Compact Camera Image Quality
The Power of a Letter
This story has nothing much to do with Photography but I wanted to share it as it restores my faith in people. Over the weekend I was in France to visit my daughter and her partner for my Grandson’s first birthday. Whilst my daughter and her partner don’t have very much money they wanted to … Continue reading The Power of a Letter
Friday Image No. 63
This is West Burton Falls in the Yorkshire Dales, England. It’s the first time I had visited the location and the conditions were far from perfect. Rather than a lovely velvet trickle of water over the falls it was a gushing torrent with a grey overcast sky. I did shoot a number of colour images … Continue reading Friday Image No. 63
New Brush in Lightroom 6
I recently published a Friday Image and mentioned that I had found a new brush tool in the Lightroom filters. My intention was to post a blog explaining a little bit more but the lack of time has prevented me from doing so. That is until now. The new brush is available with any of … Continue reading New Brush in Lightroom 6
Canon G7X Field Report
Yesterday I met up with a friend for some well-deserved landscape photography. We had intended to visit Anglesey but the weather forecast was dreadful and so decided to visit Yorkshire instead. It was also a useful test of my new G7X to see how it faired in the field, especially as the Lensmate filter adapter … Continue reading Canon G7X Field Report
Friday Image No. 62
This week’s Friday image is one from my trip last year to Bolivia. It appears that I am running out of interesting images to share as well as being short of time. I don’t know what’s happening to me at the moment. I didn’t even manage to post the blog about the new Lightroom Brush … Continue reading Friday Image No. 62
Further Thoughts on the Canon G7X
Last week I mentioned that my new Canon G7X arrived and I shared my first thoughts on the camera, having not even switched it on. This past weekend I charged the battery and inserted a memory card. Whilst knew I wasn’t going to get out to for serious photography I was determined to shoot a … Continue reading Further Thoughts on the Canon G7X
Friday Image No. 61
At the moment I have a really strong feeling that I want to shoot some coastal scenes. I haven’t been getting out very much at all with my camera as there have been too many other things that I need to do that unfortunately don’t relate to photography. The best I can do is content … Continue reading Friday Image No. 61
My First Impression of the Canon G7X
In my previous post I mentioned that I was going to buy a Canon G7X given how impressed I was with the G16 compact camera I had been using. Well it arrived yesterday and I have decided to do something unusual. I’m going to give a quick review of my first impressions having not yet … Continue reading My First Impression of the Canon G7X
