Shooting JPG with the Nikon Z Series
One of the great things about shooting with the Fujifilm cameras is the film simulations you can use, including the recipes you can either copy from other people who create them or make up yourself. There are times, when shooting with the Nikon Z cameras I quite fancy a JPG film look… and thanks to […]

Another Day, another X100!
I’m not sure if it was a good idea to buy ‘another’ X100 series camera but there’s no denying the fact that it’s certainly the best X100 series camera made to date with the features it has packed into it. The idea of a flip screen, the latest lens which offers secure sharp focussing wide […]

Loving life with a 90mm
For all the other gear I have that’s probably more suited to woodland and landscape photography I love to get out into the woods with my Leica M10-P and a couple of lenses. It feels a much more cathartic experience shooting with a Leica M over the Nikon Z6 I have. It’s a slower process, […]

Craving Simplicity
Sometimes it all gets a bit too much and at the moment my seemingly endless quest to find the right camera gear has been giving me a rather painful bout of sensory overload. I’ll be honest, it’s even starting to piss me off. I have two very different systems I use for the majority of […]

Nikon Zfc first thoughts
Inspired by film cameras of yesteryear, I was immediately taken in by the Nikon Zfc when it was released last year. A small APS-C camera with cool looks and a Nikon sensor – what’s not to love right? Having had the ZFC for about a month or so I thought I’d jot down some of […]

Slow Down
Camera: Nikon Z6 Lens: Nikon 24-70 F4 S Filter: NiSi CPL, 10 Stop Filter We had a couple of days down on the South Coast last week and couldn’t resist a bit of long exposure photography. Not quite the best conditions as (as per usual) I was shooting at the wrong time of the day… […]

Happy Anniversary ‘Cron
It’s exactly a year since I pushed the button and was lucky enough to buy myself a Leica Summicron 35mm f2 ASPH. When I bought my Leica M10-P a couple of years ago or so, I promised myself I would one day own a Leica Summicron 35mm ASPH. It’s one of those lenses that through […]

Sunday Strolling
Hanging the Leica M10-P over the shoulder along with the small but excellent Leica Summicron C 40mm f2 makes for a very compact, easy to use set up. What better way to spend a sunny Sunday morning than wandering along the local canal towpaths looking for compositions with a flat white coffee as mid walk […]

Nikon Z6 in 2022
Having had my Nikon Z6 since May 2021, I thought it would be interesting for a quick update on how I’m finding it having been using it now for almost 9 months. Primarily I bought the Nikon Z6 as a camera for out in the woods and for a bit of landscape photography, so most […]

Scotland Adventures
We had a few days holiday once things started to open up a little, and chose to head to the Scottish Highlands, to get away from it as much as we could.

Waterfalls at Blaen Y Glyn
Having recently taken delivery of a Nikon Z6 along with a Z 24-70 F4s and 14-30mm F4s lens, I was keen to get out and really see if I had made the right choice!

New Toys & Happy Days
I’ve been toying with the idea of switching up my ‘landscape’ kit for a little while now.

Cannock Chase Wander
Having pretty much photographed woodland locally around me for the past 12 months or so, getting over to Cannock Chase a little way from home proved to be a fantastic morning out.

Leica for Landscape
A few photos from the past weekend, shooting with just the Leica M10-P & Summicron 40mm f2. It’s a great camera for casual landscape and outdoor photography, the ease of use making it the perfect companion.

Summertime with the Fujifilm X100F
We’re pretty fortunate living where we do as we have plenty of woodland areas nearby offering some real nice scenery.

A Growing Love Affair
I had been looking on rather longingly at Leica M6’s for quite a while now wondering if all the fuss and attention they garnered was really worth all the thousands of words that have been written about them over the years.
