I’ve been down in London this past week, taking a break from work and doing all the tourist things I never had time to do when I lived and worked there. This time, it was the turn of the Tower of London to see the Crown Jewels. We also went on one of the free … Continue reading A Tip for Photographing London’s Iconic Landmarks
Happy New Year. I’m not yet back in the swing of things following the Christmas and New Year Break, and I certainly haven’t been able to do any photography. It hasn’t stopped raining here since before Christmas, other than for short spells. I’ve therefore busied myself editing more images from my recent trip to Japan. … Continue reading Landscape Photography Processing
Last week, I published a post where I shared a few of my bucket list photos taken in Dubai. In that post, I also shared my thoughts about using my iPhone alongside a regular camera.

I’ve been flat out working on several projects over the past few weeks and haven’t managed to do any photography. Instead, I decided to work on some old images from a trip to Bolivia in 2014. This is something I like to do from time to time to see how old RAW files respond to … Continue reading When Are We Cheating?

Here’s one that was hiding as three separate frames. Once I stitched them together, I realised there was a decent panoramic scene. Ullswater, The Lake District.
