I recently realised that I’ve gathered far too much camera equipment. As a result, I have great cameras and lenses sitting on a shelf doing nothing. This has made me contemplate selling or trading some of these kits, but where to start? Before deciding, I wanted to check the image quality to ensure I didn’t … Continue reading Appreciating the Fuji XT5

Making a Slow Recovery
My knee is finally on the mend, although it is still giving me problems at times. I did manage to get out for a walk during the week and climbed up to the Trinnacle rock above Dovestones, and then along the edge above the reservoirs. I took this snap of the Trinnacle with my iPhone … Continue reading Making a Slow Recovery
Photographing the Cornish Coastline
Last week, I didn’t manage to post any photos. That’s because I was away in Cornwall celebrating my 35th Wedding Anniversary. And whilst I was there, I couldn’t resist doing some photography to capture the dramatic Cornish coast. I based myself at the Lands End Hotel for the first part of my trip. Although Lands … Continue reading Photographing the Cornish Coastline
Back From Yet Another Break
Life is getting back to normal here after the last could of years. I know this because I’ve found my time is continuously squeezed by needing to break off for various holidays and trips that backed up over the past 2 years. Now that I can finally take a holiday, I don’t feel that I … Continue reading Back From Yet Another Break
Rescued by Topaz – Again!
I haven’t been able to do any photography this past week. I changed cars a couple of weeks back and the transaction hasn’t exactly gone smoothly shall we say. But whilst I’ve been sorting out a few of the lose ends, I’ve also been processing my recent shots with the Panasonic G9, ready for stock … Continue reading Rescued by Topaz – Again!
Panasonic G9 and the Break is Over
You may have noticed that I haven’t posted anything for a couple of weeks. The reason for this is that I’ve been on one of those rare things called a holiday. I feel extremely fortunate to have been away in St Ives, Cornwall having booked this a long time ago. What I didn’t know when … Continue reading Panasonic G9 and the Break is Over
More Forgotten Images
One of the great things about having a large back catalogue of images is that you can always find something new. This week I spent some time looking back at some images I shot in Cornwall 2015. Previously I’ve only processed a couple of these, but now that I’m looking at them, I can see … Continue reading More Forgotten Images

Photography with the Right Mindset
The last time I published anything to this blog was the 5th July. Apologies for that but I decided to take a holiday and headed off to Cornwall. The scenery there is spectacular but looking through my images (yes I was still working) everything looks like a stock photo. Nice if you received them on … Continue reading Photography with the Right Mindset
Upgrading Exposure
I have finally taken the plunge and upgraded my copy of Exposure from Alien Skin. This is a great all-purpose piece of editing software which I tend to use as a plug in to Photoshop. What I really like are the film simulations. I already owned Exposure and was resisting the temptation to upgrade. What … Continue reading Upgrading Exposure
