Another B&W landscape from this afternoon.

Here are a couple of B&W images taken on a trip to Weston-Super-Mare.

I wanted to walk into town the other evening and capture some images of the streets with the Christmas lights and then a shot of the fireworks before heading back in to grab some more photos of the streets as the light was fading. The DF did a superb job and that D4s sensor really does work...

The city of Bath had their Christmas market stalls open when we visited on Tuesday, the city was packed so business was booming. The stalls were spread out across a number of streets and had a real mixture of food / drink as well as gifts so plenty of choice and we also had a few characters...

I was in Swindon recently so my wife could attend to some business so I had time to walk around and grab a few street photos before heading down to the "Swindon Railway Village". These are cottages that were built in 1846 by Great Western Railway for it's workers. These are listed buildings so...

I went to the Cathedral the other day as I wanted to photograph the cloisters - they were used for filming in 3 of the Harry Potter films. There is currently construction work taking place inside and outside the cathedral but I was still able to get into the cloisters and take photos as well as...

This is an old Iron Age hill fort with commanding views of the area, I visited yesterday despite it being a dull and overcast day. It was really windy due to it being the highest feature around but the fresh bracing air was wonderful (if not a little chilly) and the 24mm on the DF did a good...

Some recent photos with the new 24mm f2.8 AF-D on the DF. It is a superb combination and I am really pleased with this lens and the results it delivers - these are 4 images taken in town.

I purchased a mint condition boxed with paperwork Nikkor 85mm f1.8 AF-D lens from Grays of Westminster last week, not only did it come with a 12month warranty but I also got a 10% discount and next day delivery - outstanding service from a premier Nikon dealership. I wanted this lens rather...

This is a 3 shot panoramic looking across the valley as the temperature dropped and the sky changed.

I was out recently on one of the few sunny days we had and decided to grab a few landscape images and then head through the woods for some tree shots, not the greatest but it encouraged me to get some walking in and enjoy the fresh air on a lovely day.

I spent 5hrs at a fairly local Wildlife Wetland Trust last week as I wanted to improve my ability to capture flying birds. In order to travel light I took just the D500+300mm f4 PF with me, it provided an easy carry / light combo that I set to manual with Auto ISO. I had to learn the art of...

I received my brand new Nikon 24mm f2.8D lens to go on the DF and as we were going to Cheltenham I took it along with the 50mm to see how it performs. I wanted a lens with actual aperture settings on it and this lens performs really well on the DF - fast to focus and it renders great images...

I wanted to have another go at producing some HDR images that looked subtle rather than too harsh or obvious. I used the DF and took 3 images with a stop difference and then put the images into Lightroom for very minor adjustments before merging into HDR. I have only tried HDR once before...

I was out yesterday with a mission to photograph some old trees that have survived the ravages of time and the changing seasons we experience here in the UK. These are some I came across a few years ago and they still make me smile at their strength and majesty in the ever changing landscape.

I wanted to grab a couple of photos looking across the valley to the city of Gloucester, set up the DF on a sturdy tripod and waited until the light was right. There were some fireworks going off in the foreground and the light trails from the traffic added leading lines into the main image of...

I have been doing a lot more street work lately and changing between the Fuji X100s and the DF depending on how light I want to travel. Both cameras work well for street and even though the DF is more obvious due to its size, the form factor looks more like an "older analogue" camera so it does...

I was in Bath recently with my wife and daughter and while they went off to get their shopping I was able to wander the streets and find some suitable subjects to photograph. Using the Fuji X100s was a dream, it is small, light, silent yet delivers superb image quality without drawing attention...

My wife and I were on a country walk the other day and I took the opportunity to take some photos of her. I know I am biased but she is a natural in front of the camera and has done some professional work and is easy to work with and nearly always willing to have a photo shoot as she uses some...

We took a trip to Weston-Super-Mare recently and luckily picked a day that was mostly sunny. Being half term there were plenty of families enjoying the weather, fresh sea air and the usual "Fish & Chips and Ice Cream" for lunch! While my wife wandered around the shops I grabbed a few street...
