Last night I realised I hadn’t posted anything this week. Tonight, I almost forgot this week’s Friday image. I was so tied up with putting together a short video of a recent trip to the Lake District that I got carried away. The video isn’t ready yet, but will be posted soon to my You … Continue reading Friday Image No.150
I just realised it’s Thursday and I haven’t posted anything all week. Where has the week gone. I have been so busy trying to finish writing my Photoshop Masking book that I have overlooked everything else I need to do. I even have a couple of photography presentations at clubs next week and I’m not … Continue reading I Just Realised it’s Thursday
I suspect many of you, like me are guilty of ignoring the landscape on our doorstep. Very recently I bought a book covering different photo locations in the Peak District (http://amzn.to/2eSTEEk). As I started to flip through the book, I thought I recognised a couple of locations. Sure enough, there was a section on locations … Continue reading Friday Image No. 149
OK, here’s the question a friend and I were recently kicking around. If you could only have one camera and lens, what would it be and why? For me, this is really difficult. I have a lot of cameras and quite a collection of lenses. I can see the benefits and drawbacks of each and … Continue reading Which Camera?
It’s been a very busy week this past week. My daughter has been over from France with her partner, my grandson and a group of their friends. And they have all been staying with me. If you have emailed me and I haven’t replied, I can only apologise. I will reply as soon as the … Continue reading Friday Image No. 148
If you’re a Fuji shooter who uses Lightroom to process your RAW files, I’m sure you will appreciate the excellent Fuji Colour Profiles. Although Lightroom provides a default Adobe Standard profile, it’s often worth experimenting with some of the other Fuji profiles found in the Camera Calibration tab. In the past, I have tended to … Continue reading Best Fuji Profile for Green
It’s almost a year since I purchased a used Fuji X-T1 and Fujinon 18-135 lens. I loved the X-T1 and fairly quickly upgraded to the X-T2. The Fujinon 18-135 was though a complete disappointment. I remember returning home following the first outing where I had shot the scene above. I downloaded the images to my … Continue reading Exercising the Ghost of Fujinon
The heather is out. I captured this last Sunday in the Peak District using the Fuji X-T2. It's processed in Lightroom using the Provia colour profile (set under Camera Calibration in the Develop tab). As usual, it didn't take more than a couple of tweaks to finish the image. That's what I love about the … Continue reading Friday Image No.147
Regular readers of this blog will recognise that I haven’t always been complimentary about Sony and their customer service. Please don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like Sony, it’s that I’ve always had problems with their products and service. Despite this, my Sony RX 10 and Sony A7R excellent cameras. The Sony … Continue reading Sony – Setting the Record Straight
For this week’s Friday Image, I want to share a shot from a recent trip to Formby. If you want to see more of the trip I posted the video on You Tube yesterday. When I visit Formby I usually seem to come away with some shots I like. This time though things seemed different. … Continue reading Friday Image No.146
