  1. 35mm CF | Layers Part 3

    2022-07-31 21:09:23 UTC

    The potential for a deeper narrative is always present. It’s all about being open, receptive and responsive. Seeing in Layers has now become a part of my visual tool box of skills. This is a beautiful way to add visual interest. I realised this storytelling technique is something I have…


  2. 35mm CF | Layers Part 2

    2022-07-31 12:56:05 UTC

    From the moment I got off the Bus, I started to see it; multiple subjects and stories. It has always been there - I have always seen it. What’s interesting is I was not aware of this context; Shooting in Layers. My Camera is set to give me good depth…


  3. 35mm -CF | Layers

    2022-07-31 07:31:41 UTC

    Layers. Multiple elements within the Frame. This is my next study - seeing deeply into the visual narrative. The Classic Frame and its complimentary 35mm Lens has opened my eyes, literally. The Frame is wide - enough, to accommodate a complex, chaotic narrative. This means being responsible for what I…


  4. 35mm CF | Architecture

    2022-07-30 19:56:54 UTC

    This image speaks volumes about the versatility of the Classic Frame. I don’t consider myself an Architectural Photographer. I do appreciate the aesthetics, lines and formation. As an Image Creator, I just felt it important to be competent and effective with my Camera. This means no subject is off limits…


  5. 35mm Classic Frame

    2022-07-30 17:13:01 UTC

    The Classic Frame of 35mm is the perfect Canvass. If I could start my photographic journey again, I would stick with this and nothing else for a year. My thinking is based on how my eyes work. I see wide so between 28mm and 50mm, the classic frame of 35mm…


  6. 35mm CF | Creating The Frame

    2022-07-29 20:57:06 UTC

    Photography is about creating an images. It’s much more significant than being a trigger happy “snapper”. Vision, seeing the potential for an image and working the scene is part of the creative processes. This image is a simple example. The lady standing still. The gentleman in full stride providing contrast…


  7. 35mm CF | Humans & Environment

    2022-07-29 12:10:06 UTC

    I am expanding this study of the classic frame with a new context; Humans and Their Environment. I find this to be an interesting focus for my training. Here is how I will approach this. First and foremost, I will be seeking a good compelling background. And then, I will…


  8. 35mm CF | 28mm or 35mm

    2022-07-27 20:12:01 UTC

    Oh what a dichotomy. Two of my favourite focal lengths The 18mm in Full Frame equals 27/28mm - The 23mm equals 35mm. I was walking home from Paddington Station this afternoon. I had the XF23mm F2 on my Camera and it was perfect to document The Paddington Basin - Grand…


  9. 35mm | Within The Frame

    2022-07-26 23:15:46 UTC

    The 35mm Canvass is no different that the Canvass used by Rembrandt or Picasso. It requires real focus and discipline on my part to ensure clean Frame. I noticed today this first two images were perfect because of the depth of field and the urban landscape of my road. The…


  10. 35mm CF | Honouring The Frame

    2022-07-26 12:06:43 UTC

    The Classic Frame is all about seeing the content and arranging the elements perfectly. I can already feel the importance of having clean edges. This means getting it right in Camera. I try not to crop after the fact. The 35mm Frame is a beautiful Canvass. It inspires me to…


  11. The Classic Frame

    2022-07-26 11:24:21 UTC

    I like to stretch my Vision. Wide & Deep is my instinctual Frame. For the next few days, I am spending time working The Classic Frame. The means 35mm. Since I use Nikon & Fuji interchangeably, this means the 35mm F2 on my D700 & the stunning XF23mm 1.4 on…


  12. The Wider Frame

    2022-05-04 19:29:50 UTC

    I love The Wider Context to my classic frame. To be clear, the classic frame is 35mm as on a frame of film and digital sensor - this means using a 35mm Lens and learning how to work it. I love the classic 35mm Lens - my visual field of…


  13. Embracing The Light

    2021-09-11 17:45:21 UTC

    Once the Sun comes out to play, I am heading out. Living in London means embracing these moments because the weather can change in a heart beat. All the seasons in one day. Carp Diem So I did. X Pro 2 paired with the wonderful Fujicron XF23mm F2. Dream Team…


  14. Contemplation: Context is Decisive

    2021-03-23 20:09:44 UTC

    The Frame of 35mm is everything. No more. No less. It can only hold so much. My Camera is not Full Frame so using the 23mm gives me the classic field of view of 35mm. So, with this Lens, I see the wide spectacle of this amazing Frame. It really…


  15. Contemplation: The Classic Frame

    2021-03-22 20:43:51 UTC

    This new study in Contemplative Photography Focuses on The Classic Frame 35mm. My Fuji journey began with The X100T. This Camera was fitted with a 23mm F2 Lens. In Full Frame terms, this equalled 35mm. I am returning to my roots and shooting with this Focal Length again - I…


  16. 2020 Vision | Shooting like Henri

    2020-11-09 21:43:22 UTC

    I am greatly inspired by the work of Henri Cartier Bresson. His images come from another time and place and yet, there is a lot to learn. Today I shot with a 35mm on my crop body so my field of view is that of a classic 50mm. Henri Cartier…


  17. 2020 Vision | 35mm - The Classic Frame

    2020-09-23 10:44:15 UTC

    I am learning more about creating images within the Classic Frame. The #xf23mmf2 is vintage 35mm wide but not too wide. Just wide enough for a context driven narrative. This field of view is great training because it forces me not to waste my 16 mega pixels on my sensor. …


  18. 2020 Vision | Their Finest Moment

    2020-06-22 20:16:36 UTC

    The XPro1 and The XF35mm 1.4 is The Fuji Corporations finest moment. Eight years ago, this Camera and Lens hit the Market place. It endured a lot of flack due to erratic behaviour all of which got attended to with the Firmware updates. This Duo has survived a market place…


  19. Creative Act

    2018-12-26 22:44:24 UTC

    Sometimes, I just need to create an image just to see what it will look like. It begins with seeing. What I see may inspire me or not. If it does, then I check in with my feelings about what I see. It only takes a second, yes, it’s that…


  20. Slowing Down

    2018-08-06 22:00:53 UTC

    I discovered recently how lazy my photography had become. It was quite a subtle realisation. It all occurred when I purchased on eBay The Canon A1. The Canon A1 is a throw back to a time when Analogue 35mm Film Photography was the only game in town. The ISO of…
