X-Pro 1 & The D700
2023-10-02 15:17:02 UTC
Today is a day where I came to a realisation about two special cameras. I may be wrong; I am only going by the results of my raw file edits. The X-Pro 1 & The Nikon D700 are one and the same. The image quality, rendering and colours look identical…

A Wonder To Behold
2023-05-12 05:01:05 UTC
I have been enjoying using my X-Pro 1 again this week. Paired with The XF50mm F2 makes for a very effective partnership. As Camera technology marches on with impressive features, this old piece of gear continues to surprise and delight me with its rendering of gorgeous images. My confidence has…

My Two Favorites
2022-10-06 21:14:04 UTC
When it comes to my tools of choice, hands down, The X-Pro 1 & The Nikon D700 are my absolute favourite Cameras. These two are my everyday Cameras; let me show you why. Take a look at these two images. Can you tell which Camera took each image? I promise…

The Windrush Memorial

When The Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury in 1948, brought with her the hopes and dreams of 1027 Black People from Jamaica. Life in the United Kingdom would never be the same again for The Windrush Generation, their off-springs and……White People. This subject is relevant for me right now because…

It’s Carnival Weekend

It’s Bank Holiday Weekend and that means only one thing. It’s Carnival weekend. I went to Ladbroke Grove this afternoon to take a walk with my friend Richard. We went to see the the local Community Centre preparing for the big showcase this weekend. I caught sight of this lovely…

X-Pro 1 | Viltrox 33mm 1.4
2022-08-27 17:38:30 UTC
The Viltrox 33mm 1.4 is a magnificent Lens. It gives a field of view equal to a 50mm on a Full Frame - 49.9mm, thats close enough for me. Today, I thought I would pair pair it with my X-Pro 1, my everyday camera. To my delight, they make an…

EDC | Peace, Stillness & Equanimity
2022-08-15 16:11:59 UTC
I am using my X-Pro 1 as my everyday Camera right now. I am enjoying it because it is forcing me to slow down. Slowing down means I can be still enough to be at peace. Being Still provides a space for Acceptance. Acceptance is the access to Peace. Peace…

X-Pro 1| A Marvel of Technology
2021-11-08 15:17:24 UTC
The image above was created last night during the Blue Hour. My exposure was crap because I didn’t appreciate a simple truth about my X-Pro 1. For exposures longer than 2 Seconds, with this camera, I needed to be in Bulb Mode. My other cameras automatically adjust my exposure time…

XPro-1 | Reflections
2021-08-19 11:08:22 UTC
I am now reflecting on my photographic journey since 2013. This year is significant for me because I was in China and had The Nikon D90 with the 18-105. I regret selling that camera. What was I thinking? Dam it… My reflection is now based on the complexity of modern…

2020 Vision | Quiet Dignity
2020-06-27 19:24:50 UTC
My Mother astonishes me with her quiet dignity. This one thing her Dementia can not touch. I am profoundly greatful to God for blessing me with this passion for image creation. Every image I create is my attempt to bring glory to his name. I feel the presence of God…
