Storytelling Vision
2024-04-14 20:22:10 UTCWhen I see through the eyes of my stunning Lens, The XF 10-24mm F4 l, my neighbourhood takes on an expansive vision. The Wide Angles does that. It forces me to see the whole world through a deep and wide narrative. This way of seeing and documenting is about telling…

Carnival 2023 | Ode To Robert Kapa
2023-08-28 20:56:52 UTCRobert Kapa was a wartime Photojournalist. With his friend and contemporary Henri Cartier Bresson, they established The Magnum Photo Agency. Kapa once said “if your photographs are not good enough get closer” or words to that effect. I fully appreciated Kapsa’s point of view; getting close to the action creates…

Immersive Vision
2023-07-25 10:37:57 UTCToday, it’s all about the immersive view. The Wide Angle. My 10-24 is a stunning Lens which offers up a spectacular vision. This image of James above was created at 24mm which is 36mm on my X-T1; the classic 35mm Frame. This Frame is the industry standard. Let’s go W-I-D-E-R. …

My Natural Vision is Back
2023-02-02 15:08:43 UTCI was very happy when Zain, my DPD delivery man dropped off my Box today. My XF18mm F2 has been repaired by Fujifilm Uk. I am over the moon; I love this Lens and have missed using it. This Lens is over 10 years old; there is a new version…

XF 10-24m | Maida Vale
2022-05-16 14:45:06 UTCMaida Vale presents a dignified and epic Landscape. It has a grand presence without being intimidating. From Cafes to residential homes with our glorious Park, it is a wonderful place to live. The Road Works are back installing Fibre Optic for even faster internet. In spite of the construction, my…

XF 10-24 | Urban Landscape
2022-05-16 11:40:34 UTCThe XF 10-24 is equal to a Full Frame 15-36mm F4. This is an epic field of view for Landscape Images. I live in a suburb so Landscape Photography is out. Or is it. How about seeing my Neighbourhood as a massive canvass ready to be captured with this epic…

Broader Frame
2022-04-28 20:14:10 UTCI don’t consider myself a Landscape Photographer. I do think like one even though I live in the suburbs of London. Maida Vale is my Photogenic playground.My Landscape Skills have been developed from seeing my Neighbourhood and Park as a broad Contex / Frame to tell a story. My favourite…

Little Venice
2021-11-28 12:15:47 UTCIt’s a short walk from my home to this stunning part of West London. I love walking this neighbourhood - it features as part of my stillness and meditation. The Patio in the image above is the perfect place to stop, take a seat and be still. From this vantage…

Seeing Wider
2021-11-25 19:54:13 UTCI am deliberately using The XF10-24mm F4 to train my vision. This training is to embrace the wider canvass. Yes, there will be a lot more within my Frame. That’s the point. The story must fit the context. The context is the 35mm Frame. The story is the visual narrative…

Visual Vocabulary Part II
2021-11-23 19:07:04 UTCThe Wide Angle Lens really pushes me out of my comfort zone. When used correctly, it delivers spectacular results. Today, I thought it would be interesting to see what I could create using my XF10-24mm; in Full Frame Terms, that’s 15-36mm. At 15mm, I am in Super Wide Angle vision…

The Wider Frame
2021-11-03 21:38:23 UTC35mm is the classic Frame. It set the standard for visual expression. The simplicity of this Frame created legends in this field. My three heroes were Gordon Parks, Henry Cartier Bresson and Joel Meyerowitz The classic frame would be used for many different visual expression. Specifically by the focal length…

The Light At Night | Ptllll
2021-11-01 18:06:39 UTCShooting at night is pure magic. You have to get the timing right. It’s all about The Blue Hour. I checked the forecast for Sunset and it said 17:38pm. However, I noticed the light levels dropping by 16:30pm There were no clouds and I felt it looked promising for some…

XF14mm: Spectacular Vision
2021-09-21 15:34:16 UTCI don’t consider myself a WIDE ANGLE Shooter. Even though I have the XF16mm, the XF18mm and the classic frame 23mm, I don’t normally go wider the 16mm. The XF16mm equals the perfect 24mm field of view and is my sweet spot for storytelling compositions. Today, I felt like seeing…

2020 Vision | Epic Vision
2020-09-24 18:33:44 UTCI really love the epic field of view that comes with a 24mm on a Full Frame. It feels epic and yet not overwhelmingly exaggerated. Foreground interest is a must; it sets the context for the storytelling composition. Here is my XPro2 paired with the stunning XF16mm F2.8. 16mm on…
