Reading Time: 3 minutesOnce again we have had a nice sunny day for the annual Kirkstall Festival, and once again I have to entirely admit that we spent much of the day in the Beer Tent. I’ve noticed something over the last few years and that is that …
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: 8 minutesWe decided on a random trip to Newcastle for this spring’s random couple of days away, for no real reason other than having never been there. I have to say I was not sure what to make of Newcastle, and I’m still not – I …
Reading Time: 6 minutesLeeds Art Gallery has been hosting an exhibition – ‘Don’t Let’s Ask for the Moon…’: Nocturnes and Atkinson Grimshaw which I have been meaning to get to for some time, and finally managed this Easter Thursday gone, a rare day off work with nothing else …
Reading Time: 8 minutesAround 12 years ago, I started to develop, partly due to my photography, an interest in the industrial architecture of Leeds, and especially the canals of West Yorkshire, and after a couple of smaller walks round Holbeck and the upper parts of the Aire and …
Reading Time: 6 minutesFor something to do, this last week, we decided to go over the Hebden Bridge – the archetypal day out in West Yorkshire. Of course the climate-changed English Weather being what it is after a lovely hot Monday (which was actually quite beneficial to get …
