Friday image No.012

I spent this week away on a well earned break in London, celebrating my 25th Wedding Anniversary. Wow, how time flies. As you can see from the image above I managed to take some photographs of London - but not what you might expect. This one was the staircase in the hotel we were staying … Continue reading Friday image No.012

Friday image No.011

I love reflections., I find them fascinating and beautiful whether created on manmade surfaces or in nature. I suppose the ones we find in nature are the ones that really enthral me and I can't help reaching for my camera. Here is one from my walk last weekend in Jumbles Country park near to Bolton. … Continue reading Friday image No.011

Free Your Mind

I went for a walk at the weekend to a place called Jumbles Country Park which is near to Bolton. It's not very far from where I live, about 40 minutes in the car. It's even nearer to where I used to live before I met my wife. The strange thing is, I have never … Continue reading Free Your Mind

Was it worth actually bothering? You see the walk I was intending to do … Continue reading Photography with an open mind

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
