Well thats xmas over with, now for the new year. I had a wee lodger with me over the festivities. My little brothers new kitten. He got Dexter from the C.P.L in November. I havnt really spent much time with him due to Morgan being so unwell. But due...

I've just finished editing a set of Film Noir images that I shot a few weeks ago. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would love to shoot more.

I've just won the under 16s regional category WWT Photography Competition which means i'm going to London for the National Competition with Chris Packham! I also won the Adults People and Wildlife Category! For winning it and for Christmas i've just ...

Just before Christmas I was shopping at a toy fair her in Noord-Holland I glanced to my left and caught sight of a queue at the doll counter; they were waiting for the shelves to be restocked with Mattel dolls. As I looked I realised that in the qu...

It's early Christmas morning and this is the first time in 30 years I haven't been woken by an excited child rattling a stocking at my door!! It feels kind of strange wedged in by the tree and the presents, on the computer - something I wouldn't ...

Firstly i want to say a huge thank you to all that have left me messages and comments over the last week. I am amazed and overwhelmed by all your wonderful words and kindness. I really am loving this website more and more. Been a bit teary now and ...

Been looking through the Gallery and loads of members have been out and about capturing snow pictures. Some really good ones as well :) I am off work this week and should be doing the same but for some reason I am just not seeing anything worth t...

Evening all :) There was a clay shoot this morning in the adjacent field, so I carried on up to the local farmhouse for another reccy. I didn't get any shots, but the birds were in abundance. There were flocks of yellowhammers, ...

Well not been on ephotozine for a good couple of weeks now. been a bit of a sad time at home at the moment. morgan our old fellow (cat) fell ill and sucumbed to the tumor growing in his abdomen. finally made the decision to put him to sleep on the 10...

I have been rather inactive on here recently as my boyfriend and I have just purchased our first place together and are in the process of doing it up ready to move in :D So I'm not taking a lot of photos, and even if I am I don't have the time to pla...

I guess like so many people at the moment, we are keeping an 'eye out' for sightings of Waxwings, and at the ready to head out with the camera!

Had my scan result today they didnt find anything in the lungs needing treatment but I will have another CT Scan in a few weeks time to ensure all is back to normal ref. the chest infection. They did however find a few nodules in the area of my pan...

Where did this appear?

............As I Started! We started this year by demolishing our chimney down to the grate, before having to rebuild. We are ending the year demolishing Rachel and Mark's new flat, so we can rebuild it! They have bought a gorgeous flat, but i...

I think so, perhaps ! Things were looking so bleak I almost sold all my digital camera gear three weeks ago and was going back to my beloved MF Bronica & Velvia 50 and projecting the trannies on the bedroom wall ( which I emulsioned white delibe...

For those of you who have been following this, my camera is back! Long story short (long story is in my previous blog): Camera dial broke ---> sent off 30th Sept ---> got phone call saying it was in, but camera shop (over phone) said it wasn't. ...

Inspired by ePHOTOzine member Ade McFade's passion for photographing the architecture of Leeds and surround areas I decided to do the same in my local region starting in my home town of Worksop. This shot is down a street near the town centre that I ...

As I recently wrote, sometimes you take pictures you just don't know what to do with. It's not what you took the camera out for, it may not be interesting enough for the Gallery (although that's debatable, of course), sometimes you just don't know - ...

As the saying goes. I had this in my head to do, not managed to get what I want yet.

I think it's time to start an EPZ Blog.... I'm currently enjoying a couple of items that have had a mixed press in some quarters. The first is the SMC Pentax-DA 18-135mm WR lens, which I tested for EPZ. Although technically it does have its limita...

Back up to date again - Sunday in the garden and Poppy Puppy is one of those dogs that will play forever if you've the stamina. It's much easier when she wants to play with her squeaky ball - it's far less effort to keep kicking it up the garden tha...

I have the lovely Simone travelling all the way up to Lincoln from Croydon today to put the final touches to my new Beauty and Fashion Photography course that we will be running over the June bank holiday weekend at Village Studios, Bexley. The cours...

I took a photo on Tuesday:- It was nice enough, the birds were both in focus the lighting was good and I felt it was good enough to share, so I did. All I knew was, they looked like Geese. Then two gentlemen came in (Ed and Richard) and g...

Another day, another fatal accident on the road outside my office:

Taking advantage of a couple of days off, thought i'd pop in to Cambridge and catch a few early morning shots, was hoping for a nice sunrise but alas grey sky only at that time.

The new lens seems to be performing well - time to review the test images I've taken. Think we're gonna be good friends!

Just had a browse around our local flea market and picked up a flash gun for a fiver, tried on camera and works well. Stripped it down to analise interior ready for mods and plenty of room to carry alterations to attach a flying lead to the ring tub...

Continuing with my liquid theme, I have to admit this wasn't my planned image of the day. Still getting to know my camera, and working out how to get the flash to synchronise with the trigger. Yet with only five minutes left on the clock and determin...

Tuesday i have another studio session booked for 2 hours with Natalie, and we are doing a....... Front Mag Style Shoot! I wont lie, i dont know what Front Style images are, its been years since i bought a ads mag, in fact i think the last time ...

A distinct lack of photos have been taken today - too much rushing about at lunchtime, Karate after work - organising a couple of photo shoots this evening - the organising bit that is, not the shoots :) I was playing with the X10 whilst the bus w...

After a walk over to my feeders I was delighted to see a first visiting .A pair of Bullfinches were present but was soon chased off by the presence of a displaying pair of Sparrowhawk in the adjacent field. Also a pair of GSW and Jays were in the vic...

Normally I am prepared to let images stew a bit in the gallery but tonight I got narked and deleted a couple uploads. I don't mind people not looking at the images and I don't mind low votes but I do mind people looking and not voting or commenting. ...

This was a tricky one and I don't think I pulled it off...but that's for you to decide. I was drinking a can of lemonade...the type you get abroad that has a really refreshing taste as it's packed with real lemons (well 16%) I spotted them in Sa...

A pomegranate. I hadn't had one of these for ages then spotted they were on offer at the local shop, so I grabbed a couple. Ate one and took pics of the other (ready to eat later) Larger pic here, 365 group.

Kate and I went out this afternoon for a walk around Plympton St Maurice, a lovely, historical suburb of Plymouth. Our walk took us across Pathfields, an ancient open parkland which was the subject of Channel 4's Time Team a few years ago. We met a...

This is my large light bulb placed on a white background and illuminated with one of those laser pointers used on presentations etc. Taken on the iPhone 4 using the Hipstamatic app. Larger pic

Ah its been AGES since i had the camera in hand and i aint missed it much The reason is i wanted to get my Motorbike licence as i had put it off since i was a teen and thought i'd do it now before i regret it. So i did it and got a bike and i have...

28th February 2012. Following a road accident on 19th August 2011, resulting in what the hospital called 'Life changing injuries' and a major eye operation in November 2011, I returned gingerly to photography and slowly learned how to hold and use ...

Outside City Hall is a moving exhibition of Tom Stoddart's black and white images. Here a tourist views an image of a woman sheltering from snipers in Sarajevo, 1993.

Once a pub (I guess) and now a dentists surgery; seemingly, a pretty good one.

Sheesh it chucked it down this morning and soon the car was stranded in its own swimming pool:

Card in camera - check Shutter/Aperture settings correct - check Light switched on - check Remotes switched on - check Face recognition switched on - check Get changed, play with a variety of masks - swift check to see exposure etc. is ok (witho...

This is a shot taken in the morning with the sun low in the sky overlooking Abbotsbury and the Chesil Fleet. As always, comments welcome.

Once again due to work I was not able to get out until Saturday which fortunately was a nice day with plenty of sunshine. Here is this week's photo which is an old stable block on the edge of Dartmoor which seems to have been converted for living in ...

I have been doing some research on right angle finders, I didn't even know these things existed, thank you Pete for telling me about them! I think this will help a lot. My birthday is in Nov. maybe I will get one then. (Oh, who am I kidding I ...
