I’m a little late today having been working solidly since around 07:30 this morning (it’s now 21:30). I have a backlog of work that seems to be getting longer every day and I have a full weekend and following week ahead of me. I need to cheer myself up and not just by dreaming of … Continue reading Friday Image No.107

Continuing Fuji Thoughts
It’s now been a few weeks since I purchased the Fuji X-T1 and I think it’s fair to say it’s been a bit of a roller coaster in terms of how I have taken to the camera. But despite this it’s also been a huge learning experience for me and one that I am happy … Continue reading Continuing Fuji Thoughts
Preparing for an Overseas Trip
I am planning to take a trip a little later in the year and intend to be travelling light. At the same time, I want to be sure that I produce high quality images so I have been spending a little time today working out what my kit list is likely to be. Olympus OMD … Continue reading Preparing for an Overseas Trip
A Surreal Experience in Bolivia
I must admit that I have seen some beautiful and unusual landscapes around the world in my time but this one in Bolivia has to take the prize for the most unusual. The salt flats of Uyuni in Bolivia are spectacular. They are flat and white but in some locations there are small islands of … Continue reading A Surreal Experience in Bolivia

Yet another trip from my recent visit to Nantes in France. This time I was walking along the river and spotted these three bird(two cormorants and a heron). They appeared quite tame as this was shot with my 45mm prime - it was the longest lens I had with me at the time. Fortunately it … Continue reading Friday image No.034

The was shot in the early afternoon, just off the point at the Lizard in Cornwall. Please don't ask where the pink atmospherics came from, I … Continue reading Friday image No.030

This week's Friday image is another from my recent holiday. I call this one Blue Haze but not for obvious reasons. I just happened to be stood looking out to sea, admiring the view and thinking the house I was outside had a priceless view (this one). The name of the house? You guessed it, … Continue reading Friday image No.024

This is another of my images from last week's London trip. For those of you not familiar with the skyline, the large domed building is the Gherkin. And the building in front of it covered in ducting and cranes is Lloyds of London which I'm sure must be pretty well known around the world (if … Continue reading Friday image No.018
The Need for Enjoyment
So, here I am in London with a couple of friends for the day and our sole purpose is to enjoy ourselves taking pictures. But I wasn't. Not because this isn't a great city or I wasn't happy being with my friends, I just wasn't inspired. I was taking photographs but I wasn't creating photography. … Continue reading The Need for Enjoyment
A Note of Thanks
I would like to publish a note of thanks to the security officers at Canary Wharf in London. Yesterday I visited London with a couple of friends as tourists to take pictures. One of our locations was Docklands with the intention of photographing some of the icon architecture including Canary Wharf. Waiting for our friend … Continue reading A Note of Thanks
