Reading Time: 4 minutesIt’s funny, in a way, how artistically and photographically I’ve come in a bit of a circle with the new Fuji Camera. I embraced my DSLR in a massive way about 20 years ago now, taking in all the technical abilities of the digital format. …
Reading Time: 7 minutesI’ve always wanted a full frame fisheye lens, from when I was shooting like crazy with my DLSRs – I had an adapter than (not very effectively) turned the image into a circular (albeit cropped) fish eye, but this has never quite been my thing. …
Reading Time: 5 minutesI took the new camera out of a proper walk, to get a better understanding of what it can do – there’s so much to learn! While I am reasonably expert at Digital Photography any new device, and one that is different from what I …
Reading Time: 4 minutesI think that buying a new camera has reawakened a little bit of photography excitement in me again, as I’ve been feeling quite creative in that area the last few days. For no other reason than it suddenly came to me, I decided to buy …
Reading Time: 7 minutesLooking through this site, and indeed looking myself through my hard drives, it’s noticable how much less photopgraphy I have done over the last few years. For various reasons I have been walking less, I’ve also been painting more, and as I realised in Newcastle …

Reading Time: 2 minutesFor all the fun of old and random cameras, it is great to play with a decent, high quality SLR from time to time. From my late aunt’s chattels I received, by gift of my father a good condition Canon T50 and a couple of …
Reading Time: 4 minutesI have been going back a bit to get some more ‘blog style posts onto this site (something I originally aimed to do) – inspired in part by managing to edit a good selection of film scans which have been hanging about for ages, and …
Reading Time: 2 minutesNot content with this being a random effect from poor light seals (or indeed poor construction) it is now possible, courtesy of Revlog to purchase film that is pre exposed to give these (and other) effects. What a time to be alive. I am being …
Reading Time: 4 minutesAnd so, back again to the dreaded Lomography. It is funny how it always ends up there. One thing I will say is that the Lomography crowd have an almost insatiable desire for hacking things, making cameras do weird and wonderful effects and sometimes I …
Reading Time: 4 minutesFollowing on from my post on stand development in Rodinal a few days ago, this seems as good an opportunity as any to write about another film for which I used this process, along with some digital trickery to create some exciting hybrid images. The …
