I’ve been scanning quite a few of my older pre-digital images recently. The image quality doesn’t compare of course – much is lost in the scanning of the negatives. This cropped image suffered quite a lot in the process, but with some judicious post-processing in Lightroom I was able to produce a completely different effect – […]

We just happened to be in the right place at the right time when this amazing piece of road transport came down Broad Lane en route to its destination in Wyther Lane in Kirkstall. A transformer for the Kirkstall sub-station. It took the best part of the day to travel from Goole Dock to Leeds.

I’ve created a Shared Google Photo Album with some more shots of our trip to the Museum of Welsh Life at St Fagans last week but I particularly wanted to share this one of the Toll Gate Cottage because this building used to stand about 100 yards away from our first home, at South Gate,

Not the most original of titles, and not the most photographically exciting of subjects I suppose, but I couldn’t resist taking this shot of the blast of colour outside my mother’s front door on a gloriously sunny Mother’s Day.
The light when I took this shot was rather strange as I think you might be able to judge. I put the polariser on the lens and played around with a few other settings before capturing this shot of the River at Salisbury quite close to the cathedral.
We had lunch in this pub – The Haunch of Venison – on Friday. It’s 700 years old and still not the oldest in Salisbury. It does boast two remarkable features and two interesting historical notes, as well as the obligatory ghost stories. In the picture above you might just notice what is thought to

Jenny and I went to Hay-on-Wye yesterday, We’d planned on getting out for the day on Thursday as the weather forecast had been predicted to be good. It was, and even though it was cold, the light was good, the skies were blue early on – all we had to do was to decide where

I wanted to share this, my first image taken with the Sony 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS Lens for the Sony A7r Full Frame Camera. I’m very excited about the range of possibilities this lens will offer me for both close-up work like this and also for portrait work which I’ve no experience of doing.
