After a short break last week I wanted to share a new Friday Image. This was taken just over a week ago in Cornwall. We went down to St Ives which is a lovely Cornish village if you have never had the opportunity to visit. The light there is amazing and some of the atmospheric … Continue reading Friday Image No. 023

Emotional Challenge
Recently, besides buying lots of new equipment, I have become interested in the challenge of introducing emotion into photography. With some photography (mainly involving people) it tends to be a little easier. You can catch that moment of joy or the look in a subjects eye but with landscapes it becomes a little more difficult. … Continue reading Emotional Challenge
Quality costs but it also pays
Looking back some 3 to 4 years, I was a devoted user of Lee Filters although they were far from perfect. I didn’t think the quality was great and I can point to examples of colour shifts in my work. When I moved to Micro 43 I found the Lee 100mm filters were too large … Continue reading Quality costs but it also pays
Now that’s a leading line
I just wanted to share this one.

This week's image is one I took recently in the Lake District (my favourite place in the world). I was near to the summit of Great Gable when I shot this.

The profile can be used with Lightroom and gives a nice improvement over the standard Adobe profiles that come with Lightroom. The improvement isn't quite as marked as some of the other cameras I … Continue reading Sony RX10 Colour Profile for Lightroom
Friday image No.021
Firstly I am going to start with an apology. Last week there was no Friday Image and some readers may have found me slower to respond. This is because my mother is in hospital (and has been for a few weeks). I have been trying to work around this but it is having an impact … Continue reading Friday image No.021

It's back to images from my Filey trip for this week's Friday image. This was shot from Filey brig and is a long exposure taken during the day. It's a 6 second exposure which I captured on the Olympus EM5. I used a Hi-Tech 8 stop ND filter from their ProStop IRND range (here is … Continue reading Friday image No.017
Walking through History
With it being a Bank Holiday in the UK today and for once the weather not being terrible, I went for a walk. I like quite near to the Peak District National Park but for some reason I seldom visit. Today I decided I wanted a good walk in the hills so drove over to … Continue reading Walking through History
