Wish you were here..?

July 15, 2015 in Photography skills

Last year I was lucky enough to visit New York and the South of France within the same month. Both trips generated a lot of images as I was wearing the hats of 'intrepid photographer' and family man - sorry that sounds like a first world problem moan...("Oh, you poor thing, how awful for you...") Anyway,  I created a  mass of images and  never edited the French pictures properly, leaving many unseen and unloved.

Much like these time hop features in Facebook that allow you to re-post something from the recent past linked to the present, going back to your images reveals new things to see and feel. Maybe it is just the marinade of time that adds the flavour, but even after just a year I'm really glad I revisited them.

The shifting verticals and horizontals of Milton Keynes
February 27, 2020

I was obviously a good boy in 2019, as at Christmas, Santa Claus flew via Japan and got me a 75mm f4.5 shift lens for my Pentax 67II. Where better to test the precise verticals than the clean lines of Milton Keynes…

Not being Vivian Maier - a sort of review of the Rolleiflex 2.8f
November 12, 2019

It has nearly been 12 months since I got my hands on a Rolleiflex 2.8f, and whilst I'm not usually a reviewer of equipment, I'd like to share my experience of using this iconic camera and the inspiration behind me finally owning one.
