For those of you who are Nik users, you might be interested in a new video I uploaded to You Tube. I’ve had a lot of correspondence in the past where people have struggled with how to use Nik Color Efex and why it’s different from Viveza. Generally speaking, Color Efex is all about adding … Continue reading You Tube Video: Nik Color Efex Essential Landsape Filters

Processing Friday Image No.92
Last week I posted Friday Image No.92 and made comment about my having some kind of image blindness. In this particular case I think it was down to the conditions I was shooting in and the expectations I had in my mind. I often go out hoping for wonderful light and clean air, only to … Continue reading Processing Friday Image No.92
Friday Image No.92
Last week I shared Friday No.91 which was taken on my first outing with the Olympus EM5. Later the same day I shot this image with the EM5. At the time I liked the scene but the conditions were very poor. It’s only now that I recognise I captured the image I wanted to. I … Continue reading Friday Image No.92
Friday Image No.91
I shot this image almost 3 years ago in June 2013. It was my first outing with the Olympus EM5, a camera that I feel has changed my photography. This is actually 4 images merged in Lightroom. I shot a lot of these panoramic series back then as I found the EM5 was so easy … Continue reading Friday Image No.91
Friday Image No.89
I shot this one a few weeks back when I was in the Lake District playing around with my new (old) Bronica SQ film camera. This one however was shot on the Olympus EM5. The difference between using these two cameras was amazing. The Bronica forced you to be very slow and check everything twice … Continue reading Friday Image No.89
Friday Image No.88
I will start with an apology for having not posted anything over the past week. I was away in the Lake District at the start of the week and then had to get my Lenscraft Newsletter out. Given I have been in the Lakes, I though it only fitting to share one of the images … Continue reading Friday Image No.88
Friday Image No. 82
I shot this image in the Lake District back in early November. It was actually the first snowfall of the winter and light was spectacular for most of the day. Unfortunately, it then deteriorated for the rest of the year. This is the first time I have processed this image and I really like the … Continue reading Friday Image No. 82
Friday Image No.80
I captured this image in February last year. It was late afternoon and the weather had been dreadful. It had been alternating between rain and snow for much of the day but the poor weather conditions created some wonderful and dramatic light. It was last weekend’s adventure with the heavy rain that made me think … Continue reading Friday Image No.80
Friday Image No.80
Yet another snow scene for this Friday’s image I’m afraid. It’s another of the images I shot a few weeks back and I seriously need to get out to shoot some new material. Unfortunately, the weather still isn’t good whenever I have some spare time. Fingers crossed for tomorrow when I will try again. Anyway, … Continue reading Friday Image No.80
Friday Image No. 51
I don't mind admitting that I struggled to find a Friday image to post today. In the end I had to go back to the end of December when I visited the Lakes. The weather seems to have been terrible of late and it's getting pretty depressing. It's made all the worse knowing that I … Continue reading Friday Image No. 51
