Autumn Wandering
A recent selection of wandering through the beginnings of Autumn. It's always a favourite time of year to be out with a camera. The change from Summer to Autumn is invariably a gentle one with the colours of the trees and woodland changing around us. Definitely my favourite season to be out with the camera.
A morning walk
Autumn is on the way and it’s a great time to head out into the woods and see the colours changing as the autumn season kicks in. Travelling light with just the Fujifilm X100v and a tripod is a great way to record what’s going on. The weather resistance of the X100v certainly comes into … Continue reading A morning walk
Thoughts on the K&F Magnetic Filter System
I‘ve been using a square filter kit made by NISI for a while now and although I’ve been very pleased with the performance of them it’s not the lightest or smallest package to carry around. Searching around on the internet I found the K&F Magnetic Filter System at a reasonable cost so I ordered one … Continue reading Thoughts on the K&F Magnetic Filter System
50mm Goodness
As much as I like 28mm and in particular 35mm if I had to choose a single focal length, 50mm would be what I’d choose. The 50mm focal length is always the real deal.
A few notes on the Fujifilm X100v…
Or the little bastard as I call it. Fujifilm’s latest iteration of the X100 series the V, is a camera that polarises my own thinking. On one hand it’s the perfect camera for everyday use, for travel and the ergonomics of it are spot on. On the other, despite vague similarities to a Leica M, … Continue reading A few notes on the Fujifilm X100v…
Am I a serious photographer?
I’m away on vacation for a few days and sitting here with just the Fujifilm X100V for company. I made the determined effort to just bring the little Fuji for a number of reasons amongst them being I haven’t really spent that much time shooting with it. It did get me thinking again whether for … Continue reading Am I a serious photographer?

Gentle Colour
A couple of weeks back, we had a little bit of mist in my part of the world along with some pretty cold conditions. I wandered a small woodland area for a couple of hours or so along with a common I'd been eyeing up, which proved to be rather beautiful with the sun and … Continue reading Gentle Colour
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 … Continue reading Sunday Strolling
Starting to Feel The Black and White Pull
I've been shooting and editing to black and white almost exclusively since before Christmas and since the beginning of the New Year I've been shooting with a monochrome view through the live view of my camera. I convert those images to a black and white preset when importing the files in to Lightroom, in order … Continue reading Starting to Feel The Black and White Pull

Boxing Day
A quick Boxing Day wander to blow the cobwebs away! Conditions in the UK over the past couple of days have been wonderful (as far as us woodland photographers go), with plenty of low cloud and mist around. It's lovely to get out in such conditions and stay away from the madding crowds as well!

Woodland With a Ricoh GR3
Woodland Photography with a Ricoh GR3, you cannot be serious?! Well, I thought it would be fun to try and to be honest, I'm quite happy with the results from a little point and shoot wander!

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. I love the little Leica Summicron 40mm f2 as well, it's a small, compact lens that punches well above … Continue reading Leica for Landscape
All Good in the Wood
The best part of wanting to shoot more ‘outdoor' photography is that where I live we have plenty of woodland around us and it’s the perfect way to get out and about - and to lose yourself for an hour or two.
