For this week's image I thought I would share a Panoramic. This was captured as four images using a Canon G16 compact camera. The resulting stitched image is approximately 21" x 12" at 300dpi. The stitching was done using the new Lightroom 6 (Creative Cloud 2015). All I can say is that I'm now addicted … Continue reading Friday Image No.54

Don’t do this if you shoot film
A couple of weeks back I had a clear out in my study. I have shelves full of books and decided to throw out many of the older ones. I also have stacks of old note books full of random jottings so I pulled out and ripped up all the used pages. It wasn't until … Continue reading Don’t do this if you shoot film
Interesting Infrared Process
I have been experimenting with the image from my new Infrared camera and identified a rather interesting look that can be achieved in Nik Color Efex Pro. You can see the finished image above and shown below is the starting image following RAW conversion and white balance correction in Lightroom. The next image shows … Continue reading Interesting Infrared Process
Friday Image No.53
As you may be able to tell, the new EM5 Infrared conversion I had done by ProTech has really taken hold of my enthusiasm. As the days start to draw out and the sun becomes harsher it's perfect for Infrared. If your love is landscape photography and you find the summer months a frustration, one … Continue reading Friday Image No.53
An Infrared Day
As planned (and mentioned in my Friday post) I visited Malham in Yorkshire at the weekend. The weather conditions were forecast to be sunny with broken cloud so the intention was to shoot Infrared. I actually intended to shoot mainly infrared film on the XPan using my new 30mm lens. In the end I found … Continue reading An Infrared Day
Friday Image No.52
This is another image shot last weekend at Gordale Scar near to Malham in the Yorkshire Dales. The image is of the side of the Scar before you get to the main scramble. The scar is actually a huge fault line and covered in limestone. If you have never been to this area it's well … Continue reading Friday Image No.52
First XPan 30mm Images
In addition to trying out my new EM5 Infrared conversion at the weekend I also had the opportunity to take the XPan 30mm lens for a spin. This is a lens that I had lusted after for most of the time I had owned an XPan but it had always seemed out of reach. The … Continue reading First XPan 30mm Images
The Sun is Out
The sun is out at last which means it's no good for Landscape Photography. But it is good for Infrared Landscape Photography. Yesterday I went up to the Yorkshire Dales in order to try out my new Olympus EM5 which I had converted to Infrared. The conversion was completed by ProTech in the UK and … Continue reading The Sun is Out
Friday Image No. 51
I don't mind admitting that I struggled to find a Friday image to post today. In the end I had to go back to the end of December when I visited the Lakes. The weather seems to have been terrible of late and it's getting pretty depressing. It's made all the worse knowing that I … Continue reading Friday Image No. 51
My Infrared Conversion Arrives
A couple of weeks back I posted a blog about how I wanted to buy a second EM5 and get it converted to Infrared. Whilst the Infrared GX1 is nice I felt that a second converted EM5 body would fit better with my kit. That way there are less spare batteries and chargers to carry. … Continue reading My Infrared Conversion Arrives
