The moors near where I live can be a rather bleak and unforgiving place. It's not really a landscape that attracts photographers and you don't often if ever see images of it in magazines. Despite this I often walk in the area with my camera so on the odd occasion that an image looks even … Continue reading Friday image No.035

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
I have no will power
A couple of weeks back I was out with my friend Steve (who is also an Olympus EM5 owner) and we were discussing just how good this camera is. At the time we agreed that we didn’t want for anything so would stop all this chasing around after new kit and just work with what … Continue reading I have no will power
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
RX100 V’s LX5 and LX7 – Part 2
Continued... Sensor quality – Here I would say I am interested in producing natural colours and smooth images (free from noise). The LX7 is better than the LX5 but neither can touch the Sony. The Sony has smooth images with very limited noise that doesn’t get exaggerated when the images are processed. The colours from … Continue reading RX100 V’s LX5 and LX7 – Part 2
RX100 V’s LX5 and LX7 – Part 1
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
Bad Weather Photography
Last week I wrote about how I visited Blackpool to photograph the storms when the bad weather hit. In case you weren’t aware, the UK has been hit by a series of storms for some 8 weeks now (usually a couple each week). Each storm brings huge amounts of rain (for the UK at least), … Continue reading Bad Weather Photography
An unexpected twist to the weekend
It was a rather unusual weekend. I was due to be out with a couple of friends in the Yorkshire Dales shooting the landscape which is famed for its wonderful Lime Stone. Unfortunately the weather definitely had other plans for us. We met up the night before and spent the evening looking at the weather … Continue reading An unexpected twist to the weekend
Photography with an open mind
Yesterday was time for a walk in that it wasn't raining hard; at least not when I headed out. As is usually the case I picked up a camera to take with me but this time it was a hard decision. Was it worth actually bothering? You see the walk I was intending to do … Continue reading Photography with an open mind
