When in doubt, follow up
Three hours ago, I was staring at my screen and utterly unable to work out what to write today. Having posted off the EOS 650 that I wrote about yesterday, I’ve realised: I can write about the test film. The camera was obviously in decent nick: alth...

Another Side of Whitby
There are some regular haunts that we miss more than most, and one is Whitby. Apart from one fateful April visit where we were drenched by a constant deluge of water from the sky (rain....) we've always had a great time exploring, photographing the G...

Pin Hole Imaging Project
There is quite a bit of 'fringe' enthusiasm for pin hole cameras on the web. Probably quite a few of us made these as either a science project at school or as an introduction to photography. When assessing the noise and sensitivity of my EOSR sensor,...

Places - Abbeywood Gardens
Abbeywood gardens is a garden plus cafe/restaurant of very high quality, to be found near Joddrell Bank in Cheshire. When we visit, the first oddity is that, because of the proximity to Joddrell bank and its powerful radio telescopes, the key fob for...

New year, new resolution
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never felt less like a new year. Although the days are already longer (the year turned before Christmas, as far as sunlight’s concerned), they lengthen slowly at first, only a minute a day at first. Now it’s two minu...

Face the music
Whenever someone shows appreciation of your work, anywhere on the web, it’s at least tempting to have a look at what they do. Sometimes, it feels as if it would be rude not to, particularly on model-photographer networking sites. And with more tim...

Goldeneye
Yesterday I was shooting the sample shots for the new Sigma 65mm f/2 lens, and for once, amidst all the gloom, it was a gloriously sunny morning. In fact, it lasted that way almost all day and it's only this morning that the steady patter of rain has...

More than one way to skin a cat
I’ve clocked up two remote shoots this week, and it’s led me to some additional thoughts about the way we can photograph models during lockdown. The first was a second session with Vampire Princess, and that made me very much aware of the benefit o...

The Renovations Continue
Many years ago, Sue's Dad made her a doll's house. Two children and five grandchildren later it was desperately needing refurbishment. So, her brother Malcolm did the major reworking of the roof, adding two attic rooms and dormer windows, and then Su...

Eros
I’m pretty sure I’ve never taken a picture of that statue in Piccadilly Circus: by the time I was in the area with any regularity, it was too hackneyed a subject for my lens, I felt! And I missed it during the sunny Sixties visit that I posted from ...

The World Is an Empty Place
It's a bit uncanny out there at the moment. We do have to go out to some degree when doing EPZ reviews, so we combine that with getting some daily exercise. Still, the options are getting quite limited now that we're on a more severe lockdown. Yester...
