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
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
Contemplative Photography
For some reason, quite often when I tell people that I am reading a book on photography they appear surprised. I don't know why but it's just the general impression I get. I start by saying this as I am about to discuss a book I have purchased. Anyway, I was recently browsing the photography … Continue reading Contemplative Photography
Why you dont need a DSLR

Typically someone with a good DSLR such as a … Continue reading Why you dont need a DSLR
Friday Image Tutorial
The tutorial describing how I created an A2 version of the Friday image is now live on Lenscraft. You can download it using this link http://www.lenscraft.co.uk/resources/164.html. There is quite a useful technique described of how to create an edge mask to prevent noise reduction damaging edges. I hope you enjoy.
RX10 Starts to Impress
I finally managed to get out with the RX10 at the weekend and the weather was only dreadful rather than delivering destruction on biblical proportions (although some parts of the UK continue to be battered by storms). Despite the poor conditions I was able to capture a few images where the operation of the RX10 … Continue reading RX10 Starts to Impress
First problems with the Sony RX10
On Monday I managed to get an outing with the new RX10. It was a day of two halves. The first half was gales and driving rain during which I couldn't use the Sony. Instead I resorted to trying to shoot with the LX7 but ended up switching that for my Infrared camera. This was … Continue reading First problems with the Sony RX10
Friday Image 004
For this week’s Friday image I wanted to share the picture above. I shot this about 4 years ago. It’s from the town centre of Krakow in Poland. There is nothing spectacular about this image but I wanted to share it because it makes an interesting point. The image was shot on a Sony R1 … Continue reading Friday Image 004
When is an A Series Filter not an A Series Filter
I want to share with you a valuable lesson about filters. Those of you reading this blog regularly will no doubt be aware of the importance I place on the use of filters, particularly ND Graduated filters, for Landscape Photography. For some time I have wanted to try out the reverse ND graduated filters that … Continue reading When is an A Series Filter not an A Series Filter
