Photography has been through a very odd transformation over the past 10 years. In the pre-digital era good photographs were relatively rare from amongst the amateur community. Also equipment (I mean really good equipment) cost a fortune and wasn't really affordable by amateurs. Sure there were a few talented people but most images evidenced problems. … Continue reading Something for Nothing

Friday image No.009
Possibly the final image I will post from my recent Yorkshire Dales trip - although I reserve the right to change my mind. Again, I like the light in the image. This was actually a bit of a grab shot whilst I was stood talking to my friends, contemplating the forecast impending storm. I turned … Continue reading Friday image No.009
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
RX100 V’s LX5 and LX7 – Part 1
It’s funny how the same questions keep coming up in photography and this is one of them. Which is the better camera the RX100 or the LX5/LX7? I see people arguing on forums, it comes up as a search term in the traffic stats for this sight and I even receive emails asking this. I … Continue reading RX100 V’s LX5 and LX7 – Part 1
Friday image No.008
Another image from my recent Yorkshire Dales trip. This was also taken on the first morning and is perhaps my favourite image from that day. I feel the quality of light is amazingly strong in this image. The light quality is often better in the morning than the evening as there is less dust in … Continue reading Friday image No.008
Bad Weather Photography
Last week I wrote about how I visited Blackpool to photograph the storms when the bad weather hit. In case you weren’t aware, the UK has been hit by a series of storms for some 8 weeks now (usually a couple each week). Each storm brings huge amounts of rain (for the UK at least), … Continue reading Bad Weather Photography
Friday image No. 007
Nothing too much to describe here. This is Twistleton Scar in the Yorkshire Dales and was photographed last weekend. I love the location and it’s not often I can get to it for dawn. I really need some time to perfect the processing of the image but I hope you like this early version.
An unexpected twist to the weekend
It was a rather unusual weekend. I was due to be out with a couple of friends in the Yorkshire Dales shooting the landscape which is famed for its wonderful Lime Stone. Unfortunately the weather definitely had other plans for us. We met up the night before and spent the evening looking at the weather … Continue reading An unexpected twist to the weekend
Weekend Image No. 006
It's a day early (because I have a hectic schedule tomorrow and over the weekend) but here is this week’s weekend image and it’s an odd one. The reason I say this is because I like the image when I first look at it and it even prints very nicely. It’s then when I start … Continue reading Weekend Image No. 006
Photography with an open mind
Yesterday was time for a walk in that it wasn't raining hard; at least not when I headed out. As is usually the case I picked up a camera to take with me but this time it was a hard decision. Was it worth actually bothering? You see the walk I was intending to do … Continue reading Photography with an open mind
