I have just been playing around with some of my images from the trip to Filey at the weekend. Here is another of the images shot from Filey Brigg. The Brigg is a huge lump of rock extending out into the sea. It's quite dark, moody and dare I say it, difficult to photograph. This … Continue reading Playing Around

Infrared on the Brigg
First off, sorry there was no Friday image this week. With everything else I had on, I just couldn't fit it in. One of the things I was doing was visiting Filey on the East Coast of England with a friend. We didn't have great weather but we did manage to capture some interesting shots. … Continue reading Infrared on the Brigg

Busy without focus
This past few weeks has been a little odd in terms of my photography. I seem to have built up lots of unfinished activities which I am struggling to complete. I have my quarterly newsletter (in which I like to include a decent article), a shoot in Wales last weekend, a book on Nik Color … Continue reading Busy without focus
Friday image No.013
This weeks Friday image isn't anything spectacular. I captured this on my trip to London last week and for those of you who are not familiar with the UK, this is the BT Tower, which was formally known as the Post Office Tower. At least it was when I was young when this was an … Continue reading Friday image No.013
Printing Revelation
It’s funny how we become locked into a way of thinking and acting as the result of conditions that no longer apply. Unless we are prepared to constantly experiment and challenge ourselves we don’t even recognise this is happening. Here’s one example from my very recent past. After I blogged the Friday Image last week … Continue reading Printing Revelation
Friday image No.012
I spent this week away on a well earned break in London, celebrating my 25th Wedding Anniversary. Wow, how time flies. As you can see from the image above I managed to take some photographs of London - but not what you might expect. This one was the staircase in the hotel we were staying … Continue reading Friday image No.012
Free Your Mind
I went for a walk at the weekend to a place called Jumbles Country Park which is near to Bolton. It's not very far from where I live, about 40 minutes in the car. It's even nearer to where I used to live before I met my wife. The strange thing is, I have never … Continue reading Free Your Mind
Friday image No.010
As some of you may already have gathered, I love Infrared Photography. It's much more frustrating than traditional photography to create good images but the challenge makes it more rewarding. It also opens up a new world of seeing as scenes can take on a completely different appearance. Also, when the time of day or … Continue reading Friday image No.010
RX100 V’s LX5 and LX7 – Part 2
Continued... Sensor quality – Here I would say I am interested in producing natural colours and smooth images (free from noise). The LX7 is better than the LX5 but neither can touch the Sony. The Sony has smooth images with very limited noise that doesn’t get exaggerated when the images are processed. The colours from … Continue reading RX100 V’s LX5 and LX7 – Part 2
