Taking The Long View
2023-04-10 19:44:14 UTC
The debate between a Primed Fixed Focal Length will rage on forever. I can understand why because Primes are simply fantastic, the image quality is impeccable and frankly this is the point. The end goal is the final image. I find it really interesting to read reviews of a Lens…

FV | Coffee Shop Moments
2023-01-31 14:51:26 UTC
Observing. Feeling. Interpreting. My Coffee Shop Moments Project is an exercise in seeing the human being. Interpreting the mood and ambience. The Project is a another context for Humanism in Photography; the study of people within the Frame. I am noticing that the Coffee Shop is a great place to…

FV | Keeping My Distance
2023-01-29 11:27:19 UTC
This week, I am keeping my distance. For a change of pace, I am switching to using my XF90mm. This Lens is fantastic. It’s field of view is narrow and equal to 135mm on a Full Frame Camera. This makes it perfect for Portraits. As an optics for documenting life,…

FV | Candid Vision
2023-01-23 21:57:05 UTC
Creating Candid Images is a very powerful expression of photography. I like it. Operating in stealth mode is very powerful. My secret weapon is the XF56mm 1.2. This 85mm Lens is perfect for this style of photography. The 85mm field of view is narrow which means I am at least…

I saw her from across the street. This was a scene I didn’t want to disturb.The colour of her hat and dress caught my attention.I didn’t need to see her face.I felt her beauty. How we feel in the moment is the true measure of appreciation and celebration of beauty.…

XF14mm: Candid Music
2021-09-21 19:08:48 UTC
Being deaf is no fun. Music was a great joy in my life. It still is because I can still feel and strangely enough, hear the melodies of all the music I once enjoyed. I was tempted to say hello to this gentleman, but he was lost in the realm…

30 Day Challenge Day 25: Ask
2021-03-07 14:27:15 UTC
Some of my best moments came about by asking. I saw this hand in repose. It communicated to me. I did not wish to create this moment candidly because the owner of this hand was in his car - obviously so I approached him and said hello.I told him I…

2020 Vision | A Pure Moment
2020-11-21 17:49:06 UTC
It’s seven years since I took Photography seriously as an academic study. I have an obsessive disorder for books. I love reading books on subjects I find interesting. Photography is no different. My Library has become mad. This is fine because my books have made a difference to my education. …

2020 Vision | Candid or Asking
2020-05-21 19:22:56 UTC
Candid moments can be a truly awesome expression of life. Disturbing the scene to ask permission will not work. I rather capture the moment and apologies after. Some of my best moments however came out of a conversation and then asking. I saw this gentleman sat proudly in his obviously…

The Moment
2020-04-16 16:30:51 UTC
It takes courage not to disturb a scene. How close is close enough without my presence impacting a developing moment? How far away without being creepy? I think I may have found the perfect balance and answers to my questions. The XF90mm F2. My favourite Lens for Street Photography is…

The Fuji XF90mm F2
2020-04-15 19:01:14 UTC
I recently acquired The Fuji XF 90mm F2. I think this may be my favourite Fuji Lens. The XF35mm 1.4 has stolen my heart for day to day image creation - however, the XF90mm has been on my Bucket List for some time now simply because I just love Faces.…

Roger’s 75th Birthday
2018-07-02 09:14:26 UTC
Event Photography has become very interesting to me. In my former life, this type of event was my stage for my work as a Magician. Allow me to be honest - as a magician working in this environment, I HATED IT. As a Photographer, creating memorable images, this is a…
