Reading Time: 4 minutes I’ve been down to London for work again, and as usual managed to blag my travel so I get a fair amount of time later in the day to take a look around. I’ve taken the opportunity again to have more of a wander round …
Reading Time: 4 minutes Over the year I have been exprerimenting quite a lot with flowers. I started this last year with the Tamron Macro Lens, but since Christmas I have been doing a lot of work with the Lensbaby Composer and the Macro Magnifying lenses, inspired by the …

Reading Time: 3 minutes Having read about this slightly obscure and bizzare lens in Practical Photography, I decided I had to try one. Birthday present time… The Lensbaby Composer is a concept both simple and fraught with complexity. It is simple lens casing with a ball and socket joint, …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes I’ve messed about for a couple of months with Jalbum (which is great, but a pain in the arse) and I really cannot handle ftp any more. I am moving this to a wordpress installation, and here it is. I am going to backfill going …
