I finally seem to be getting the new website under control after a lot of effort. All email enquiries have been answered. Best of all, people are logging in and like the site. Success! It's been nice today to find some time to start processing some of the 5,000+ images I shot in Bolivia. Above … Continue reading Working on Doors Again

Friday image No.038
This week's image was just for a bit of fun and experimentation. Whilst I was in Bolivia I was camped half way up a volcano at around 4,300m. The sky was as clear as anything and the star show amazing. I decided to pop the camera on a tripod, whack on the old fisheye lens … Continue reading Friday image No.038
What a great group of people you are
I just wanted to post a quick note to say thank you for all your messages of support. After my problems with the Lenscraft site migration yesterday and my follow up email today, I have been inundated with replies. It appears I am forgiven (thank you) and that the consensus opinion is that you like … Continue reading What a great group of people you are
Website woes
Today, as with yesterday I have spent the day trying to migrate my Lenscraft site to WordPress. The easy part was building the site. The difficult part has been trying to migrate almost 3,000 user accounts over to the new site. Actually that wasn't the hard part. The hard part has been trying to notify … Continue reading Website woes
Back from Bolivia
I'm back from my recent break and want to apologise for the absence of posts over the past two weeks. The main reason for the break was that I have been trekking in Bolivia (everyone deserves a holiday some time) and there just wasn't any internet access. Secondly I have been working on migrating my … Continue reading Back from Bolivia

Here's a recent one from the Nikon D800. After a few trips I finally seem to be working better with the D800 and more of my images are in focus and sharp. I'm shooting with the camera set to 14bit mode rather than the usual 12bit and the colours seem to be responding well during … Continue reading Friday image No.037
Comparing the Nikon D800
I would like to start this blog post with an apology. It's taken me far too long to publish my first thoughts about the D800 and how it compares to the Olympus EM5. But there is a reason for this in that I have wanted to get used to the D800 given that it's a … Continue reading Comparing the Nikon D800
The Bleak Weather Returns
I was out walking yesterday in the Lakes - what a mistake. The weather was dreadful. It was windy, foggy and the rain was driving down hard. Despite this I managed to pull out the Sony RX10 and rattled off a few frames. I quite like the one above as I think it conveys well … Continue reading The Bleak Weather Returns
Friday image No.036
Isn't it strange how your taste in photography seems to change. I shot this image just over three years ago. I recall considering this a poor trip at the time as I didn't really come back with any "high octane" dramatic shots. What I did get was quite a lot of nice, tranquil scenes which … Continue reading Friday image No.036
My most disappointing camera is…
I should actually say my most disappointing camera was because there has been some remarkable changes with it. But first you need to hear a story to understand my disappointment. Back in 2009 I purchased a Sony R1. For those of you don't know, the R1 was a bridge camera with a fixed lens that … Continue reading My most disappointing camera is…
