It happens from time to time, anywhere on the web. It’s just happened to me here on EPZ, so I’m going to blog about it. Can you tell it’s got under my skin? Part of the problem is that it can be caused by people trying hard to be helpful. It’s jus...0

I’ve been watching the pictures and blog entries that a young lady doing her “A” levels is putting on EPZ. alice170596 is a conscientious blogger, and writes every few days. There is, I confess, a risk of creepiness about a 59-year-old man who lar...0

We’re all here to learn, I hope. That means that we browse the galleries and pick up ideas. Techniques, names of models, locations and so on. Well: usually. But there are some togs who seem to post minimal info. There is no reason not to (fo...0

Now, this isn’t getting at anyone. It’s just noting something that happens. But it could be seen as a request to individuals, whatever Ephotozine does in response to the request to them! I post my pictures with the option for others to download...0

I have a lot of pet hates. There. Got that out of the way, and you know this is going to be an opinionated piece. A rant, if you like… Once Upon A Time, it was really difficult to put lettering onto a picture. You had to use Letraset, or have a...0

As my friend Ron Tear posts the results of his trip to the States, I have photographed a little bridge on Rhodes that makes me think about going to the classic places to take pictures. So the first thing, Ron, is that this is not in any way about you...0

It seems such a simple thing, and I find I’m the exception in allowing it. But it makes massive sense, in so many ways. If you share your pictures on a site like EPZ, where much of the community is about experimenting and learning, why not, as a mat...0

I am confused by the add-on grips that are available for most cameras, and are a built-in feature of “pro” cameras. Just – why? I can see it, certainly, for action work. You’re shooting hand-held, and having the ability to go for a solid grip ...0

Spening a holiday in Cornwall, and deprived by the photographic fates of my digital camera, I’m beck as I was 20 years ago, with a Tenba bag full of Contaxes on my shoulder. And being a little more selective in my shooting than is sometimes the case:...0

The more so over the next few weeks. My digital camera died this afternoon, and I’m guessing it will take a while to get it sorted. I have no complaints about it. It’s somewhere around 60 or 70k frames into its life, and that’s a good proportion o...0

Well – any week that involves taking pictures of both Joceline and Clover has to be rather fine… Joceline and I spent a couple of hours in Berkshire, taking pictures on the stairs and in the bath of a rather idiosyncratic house: all by natural light...0

I've realised it's nearly a month since I started trying to blog. Time flies: the dayjob engrosses: and there's family stuff (like a wedding last Saturday) to fit in as well. I was lucky with the wedding: just my camera in use - the groom, a nephew, ...0

Zen wasn't the first model I've photographed who also uses a camera - but she distinguished herself by freezing if the flash didn't work (which was quite a lot until I put new batteries in my IR trigger!) An awareness of such technicalities is won...0

I've never been sure why people blog, or whether anyone reads what they put... Anyway, see if anyone notices. Working with a distinctly alternative model, Zenith, tomorrow. We plan to do some reasonably unusual shots, well away from the glamorous ...0
