This weekend it was my future daughter in laws 30th birthday and with Tracey being away in Croatia I was invited to have a birthday meal in Llandudno. So yesterday off I went to Llandudno armed with y Fuji X100V, I took this mainly to take pictures of Daisy and family but when it was […]

I’ve been researching recently, and I guess experimenting, with trying to find a more muted colour palette for my images. You might say retro even, although it’s hard for me ro talk about the filmic look, as I have no real comprehension of what the different film stocks did or made the images look like.

This weekend will be busy with a trip to Wembley to watch the Treble winners play Chelsea in the semi final of the FA Cup. That’s a full on day, couple that with a need to work until mid afternoon i decided to put my Fuji X100V to the test on the Manchester Tram system.

The 2024 project is about a stretch of the River Mersey from Stockport to Parrswood, Ive done a description blog here. I’m feeling really positive about my photography at the moment so even though I only had a limited amount of time I did want to get out yesterday. I guess the main idea of

This months challenge in the OneLandscape photography group is to take an image that could be seen as a blot on the landscape. However, so people may not agree that these blots are actual that. It is a very subjective thing Art and photography definitely is. This challenge was actually my idea, Chris Sale who

My usual Friday off work that I try to dedicate to photography didn’t quite work out this last week. Given I had Monday off and work is busy I was asked to cover meetings on Friday, so was not able to get out and about. Rather than just not bother this weekend I wanted to
