Fuji X-T1 with 10-24mm lens. ISO200, 1/10" at f/8.0. 0.6 ND Grad filter. Tripod mounted. I’m going to start by apologising for showing this image.

In all honesty, I wasn’t … Continue reading Friday Image No.194

I’ve seen some great flower shots done with a Lensbaby in the past and thought, with all the nice weather it would be good … Continue reading I Bought a Lensbaby
