Glenn and I talk photography a lot. We’re both as interested in the subject – not just taking photos but the entire hobby, the gear, the technology, the art.. the whole package. We are constantly sharing links with each other, to interesting articles and videos on the subject. The other day Glenn … Read more →
It’s been a challenging winter, here in the UK. The weather seems to me to have been the most miserable in living memory. We’ve seen a few cold spells but we’ve had little snow. Mostly there’s been rain. A LOT of rain, and when it hasn’t been raining there’s been an abundance of … Read more →
Part 1: Credit where credit’s due The right place and time If you follow this blog then you’ll know that, over the last year and a half or so, most of my photography has focused around wildlife photography, and that most of that has happened in the hides at my local park. Over the last … Read more It’s a Set Up!
My friend recently asked me if I could make money selling photographs. Suffice it to say, though I’m immensely grateful for the vote of confidence, I think she has a bit of an over-inflated opinion of my photographic abilities! Read more →

I’ve now officially been a DSLR photographer for 15 years! Although I got my first digital camera in 2000 – an Olympus Camedia 350 Zoom, then a Fuji S5500 in 2004 – it wasn’t until the 19th of May 2008 that I purchased my first DSLR. The camera I bought – the system I decided … Read more Digital In 15 – 19th May 2008
Despite my January optimism, February has been quite a disappointment. Mostly the issue is timing, with sometimes a decent amount of sunshine during the week but then densely overcast skies at the weekends. It’s infuriating. It didn’t help that my car had something of a fit while we were visiting friends in Lincolnshire – enough … Read more Not a Fab Feb
Gimme a Break of Dawn It’s happening at last! The days are getting noticeably longer. It’s no longer nighttime when we arrive at work, nor when we leave at the end of the day. Granted it’s barely light – dawn and dusk – but it’s a start! It’s cold, though, and that’s still an issue. … Read more Daylight At Last – January Update
