Fast Primes

In the last 10 years, I have accumulated enough knowledge about Cameras and Lens. I now know what works for me. I figured this out simply because I HAD TO. I would happily travel the world with the X-Pro1 and the XF18-55mm F2.8-F4. That set-up is perfect for everything except…

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…

Deep Vision | Spacial Awareness

As you know, my natural vision is wide. So using a 35mm F2 Lens is interesting for these deep frames. I am standing around 10 meters away. Waiting for my characters to enter the Frame. A 50mm is an odd choice for a wide field of view - it works…

With such a wide field of view, my scene will take in a lot of information. This creates an epic visual narrative. For me, using the XF16mm means asking a very important question; what is the context? With these three images, the Context is Road Works in my neighbourhood. This…

XF 10-24 | Depth of Vision
2022-05-18 13:03:55 UTC
The one thing I love about this Lens is its capacity for deep depth of field. I don’t use my Wide Angle for shallow depth of field. This Lens is not designed for that style of image. This Lens is about creating a visual narrative with sharp focus all the…

Wide & Closer

Even though 18/28mm is my natural vision, I still need to use this Lens correctly. Foreground interest is a must. Getting close is imperative because this Lens pulls off an optical trick which is amazing. It pushes everything in the frame backwards into the distance. So Foreground Interest creates the…

X-Pro 1 | Still a Classic
2021-12-24 12:45:11 UTC
With the latest developments in the Fuji Ecosystem, it makes my head spin with astonishment at the sheer options available. My museum has grown - long before the lockdown, my collection of Lens and Cameras were set. I have what I need and very happy with my tool box. Today,…

The Joy of Seeing | Identity
2021-04-12 19:38:56 UTC
All of my images during this Lockdown have been created close to home. I walk the same route most days, I see the same buildings, people, community and create the same images. Or are they? I have been speculating on this; yes, I see the same subjects and yet, I…

2020 Vision | Kamlan Faces
2020-10-30 22:16:53 UTC
I am committed to creating more images of people with consent. I love the conversation, building rapport and simply asking. My subjects know why because I tell them the truth. “I have a new lens which is perfect for faces, the light in you right now is perfect, would you…

2020 Vision | A Rich Blessing
2020-04-24 15:17:33 UTC
My day starts early; 06:00 am. I get myself ready to support my Mother. Her Carer arrives after 10:00 am to provide additional support which is wonderful and gives me a little respite. My life is about my Mothers well being now. My life as I knew it died once…
