Friday Image No.52

This is another image shot last weekend at Gordale Scar near to Malham in the Yorkshire Dales. The image is of the side of the Scar before you get to the main scramble. The scar is actually a huge fault line and covered in limestone. If you have never been to this area it's well … Continue reading Friday Image No.52

Friday Image No.049

This week’s Friday Image is yet another picture from my Sony RX10. I must apologise to anyone who feels this is becoming a Sony RX10. It isn’t, it’s just that I am finding myself reaching for the RX10 increasingly often, especially when a walk is involved. I don’t need to remember to take additional lenses … Continue reading Friday Image No.049

Sony RX10 Exposure Tips

I mentioned in my last blog that I had been using the Sony RX10 exclusively over the last week and in doing so I noticed a few things about how to get a good exposure. Here is what I learned: When the highlights clip they literally fall of a cliff. This can make the areas … Continue reading Sony RX10 Exposure Tips

Sony RX10 Surprise

You might have noticed that I haven’t posted anything over this past week. That’s because I have been taking a break in the Lake District enjoying some walking and a little photography. I had with me a range of cameras (you never quite know what you will need): Sony RX10 Olympus EM5 Panasonic GM1 (including … Continue reading Sony RX10 Surprise

The RX10 is winning me over by osmosis

I've had the RX10 for around 14 months now so I should be in a position to say if it's a good camera or not. Had you asked me this question 12 months ago I would probably have said (if I was being totally truthful) that it was a bit of a letdown. You see … Continue reading The RX10 is winning me over by osmosis

Sony RX10 Problem and Frustration

Regular readers of this blog may have noticed that I didn't post the usual Friday Image on Friday. My apologies for this but I am still battling with too much to do and too little time. I have fallen some way behind in responding to emails and queries as the numbers have shot up recently. … Continue reading Sony RX10 Problem and Frustration

The Bleak Weather Returns

I was out walking yesterday in the Lakes - what a mistake. The weather was dreadful. It was windy, foggy and the rain was driving down hard. Despite this I managed to pull out the Sony RX10 and rattled off a few frames. I quite like the one above as I think it conveys well … Continue reading The Bleak Weather Returns

My most disappointing camera is…

I should actually say my most disappointing camera was because there has been some remarkable changes with it. But first you need to hear a story to understand my disappointment. Back in 2009 I purchased a Sony R1. For those of you don't know, the R1 was a bridge camera with a fixed lens that … Continue reading My most disappointing camera is…

Another Drought

I had intended to get out yesterday for a long walk (about 20 miles) as I find it helps to clear my mind. In the end the 24 hours of torrential rain and quite severe thunder storms put an end to my hopes. Today was much better though and despite not having the time for … Continue reading Another Drought

Friday image No.013

This weeks Friday image isn't anything spectacular. I captured this on my trip to London last week and for those of you who are not familiar with the UK, this is the BT Tower, which was formally known as the Post Office Tower. At least it was when I was young when this was an … Continue reading Friday image No.013
