I love this waterfall. It’s called Scalber Force and is just outside of Settle in the Yorkshire Dales. I actually shot this image back in April and in colour it doesn’t look good. But converted to Blakc and White it seems to work ok. It seems though as if I were there just yesterday. I … Continue reading Friday Image No. 105

The White Goods Index
Back in the 1990’s I recall reading an article about something called the white goods index. It was intended to measure how much better we are all as a result of white goods becoming cheaper in relation to how much we are all earning. On Saturday I took delivery of a new freezer. Our old … Continue reading The White Goods Index
Help Me to Help You
I have been reading some books about blogging recently and apparently I need a mission statement – okay, let’s go with this for a moment. When I started The Lightweight Photographer blog it was my intention to share information about lightweight cameras as well as information about achieving fast results when editing images. Four years … Continue reading Help Me to Help You
Road Trip America
Back at the start of May you might recall I wrote a short piece about the equipment I would pack for a trip I was planning to make. Unfortunately, (for me at least) the trip is now over and I'm back in the UK. Whilst I have been trying to write and reply using a … Continue reading Road Trip America
Friday Image No.87
I keep having this odd feeling that I am running out of images (I haven’t been able to shoot much recently). I have this feeling that I don’t really like too much of my recent work and that it won’t endure. But when I go back about a year that I start to find images … Continue reading Friday Image No.87
Friday Image No. 84
Last weekend we had snow and a reasonable amount at that. So I did what I usually like to do in the snow and went for a long walk in the hills. With my new found project of moorland views I headed up onto the moors to join the Pennine Way. Now to reach the … Continue reading Friday Image No. 84
Hidden Gems
Yesterday I finally decided to sell my Panasonic GX1 that’s been converted to shoot infrared. The cameras been sat in a bag since I had the EM5 converted and whilst I thought it would be a good backup, I need the money for a new project (more on that in the future). Whilst advertising it … Continue reading Hidden Gems
Friday Image No. 83
For this week’s Friday image, I thought that I would share another scene from my recently adopted moorland project. I think I’m going to title the project “Views from the moors”. I realise this image might not appeal to many people but I like it for a very specific reason. When you are walking on … Continue reading Friday Image No. 83
Printing Weirdness
I want to share a very frustrating printing experience with you in case anyone has any ideas about how to resolve it. I have been printing using an Epson 3880 printer for around 3 years now using Lightroom as the host software. During this time, I have regularly switched between Gloss and Matte inks for … Continue reading Printing Weirdness
A Personal Project
Sometimes it can be hard as a photographer to keep your motivation up and I think this is especially true with Landscape Photography where the weather is often uncooperative. This is where the personal project comes in. Having a personal project helps you find the motivation to get out and shoot. But even then it … Continue reading A Personal Project
