New Toys!

Good morning all..

On Thursday I finally took the plunge and upgraded my camera. Having spent countless hours comparing all the Fujifilm mirrorless range I finally settled on the X-T20 along with an XF 18-55mm lens, a 27mm pancake and a 60mm macro. I persuaded myself I didn't need the X-T2 and bought the extra lenses instead.

Composition - graphic principles

Good morning all.

Week 3 of composition at A Year with my Camera and this week we've been learning how to incorporate composition principles borrowed from graphic designers...whilst trying to remember and put to good use all that we have learned so far.

Composition and Viewpoint

Good morning all.

We've moved from the technical side of photography to some of the fun stuff for the second part of A Year with My Camera and this week's homework was all about composition.

Macro

Good morning all.

One of the things which has always fascinated me is Macro photography, some of the resulting photographs are truly amazing. I recently added an App to my phone which had a macro setting and have enjoyed using it around the garden...but I really wanted to try the macro setting on my camera, so last week I did!

North, South, East...

Good morning all.

Everyone tends to think of Land's End and John O Groats as being the extremities of mainland Britain when they actually represent the greatest distance (874m) between two habitable places.
