Right Lens For The Subject
2023-08-01 22:19:00 UTC
Let’s stop and think for a minute. If you had to start all over again what Camera would you use and what Lens would be your first? When I look at how much gear I have amassed now it’s astonishing to me. It has taken me 10 years to arrive…

FV | A Fresh Vision of Blackpool
2023-01-20 11:50:48 UTC
With a travel time of 4 hours, visiting Blackpool was never a pleasant experience for me. The Blackpool Magicians Convention always took place in mid February. This time of year means it is cold, wet, windy and just plain miserable. Even more so Traveling to the north west of England. …

FV | Inside Out
2023-01-12 15:50:21 UTC
The image above reflects how I am really seeing now. What my eye and mind sees verses what my Camera can record is worlds apart. The human eye is a marvellous creation. It can see a wider tonal range of bright and dark all in one go. My Camera can…

16mm F2.8 | Little Fella - Big Punch
2022-09-15 07:40:15 UTC
My tiny 18mm F2 has stopped working - some connection error between the contact points on the Lens is no longer communicating with my Camera. I am no expert on such matters - never mind I have started using my Fujicron 16mm F2.8. This Lens is even smaller and yet,…

Deeper Visual Layers
2022-04-25 19:11:30 UTC
I am very happy about one thing regarding my visual expression. No matter what Lens I have on my Camera, I now know how to use it. There is a big debate regarding Prime Lens Vs Zooms. I will not contribute to this, what I will say is Zoom Lens…

X-System | Seeing Normal
2022-03-08 17:47:54 UTC
The 50mm is a classic Lens - no question about it. I have documented my thoughts about this standard Lens and field of view somewhere on this site. If you have been following my Journal and musings, you will know about my wonky field of view. The Nifty 50 to…

Seeing At 50
2021-05-05 19:09:50 UTC
The 35mm Lens for the Fuji X-System is not the Full Frame equivalent of 50mm. It is 53mm. The 1.5 Crop Factor gives me 53mm. I think subconsciously this put me off and I did not use my XF35mm F1.4 as much as I could have done. When I did…

2020 Vision | Epic Vision
2020-09-24 18:33:44 UTC
I 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…

2020 Vision | 50mm F2
2020-08-26 21:55:21 UTC
The XF 50mm F2 is another gorgeous offering from Fuji. I like this Lens a lot. What found interesting were the reviews; they were in the main very good, but I didn’t feel this Lens was spoken about in glowing terms as the stunning XF56mm F 1.2 I normally use…

2020 Vision | Think Like a Tourist
2020-05-01 12:14:35 UTC
I love to Travel, the adventure and excitement sets me up perfectly to create images and document my life during this experience. When I am home, I have fight off the boredom and think like a Tourist to get out of the house with my Camera. I have lost count…

Reframing My Vision
2019-03-24 18:26:18 UTC
As a graduate of Landmark Education, one of the most critical distinctions taught was the value of “commitment without attachment”. This means doing what needs to be done without being attached to the outcome. As a magician and image creator, I am committed to telling compelling stories through magic and…
