Today’s events are just horrible. I don’t know where all the hate in this country has come from. None of it is worth a life. I wish the hate would go away.

Sometimes in the rain…
Things go wrong. Sometimes you pound the streets all day looking for a story to tell. Other times you’ve been trapped by a deluge near your usual sandwich shop and a story presents itself. As I watched people running through the deluge I saw these guys approaching with copies of the local evening newspaper. I …
The Pasty Strikes Back
Pentewan I’ve not been posting for a while, mostly because I’ve been on holiday and away on and off the last few weeks. We headed back to Cornwall for a week away in April and as ever it was welcome. This time we stayed in the lovely village of Pentewan, nr to St Austell and …
Double Pro? Thoughts on the Fujifilm X-Pro2
As a follow up to my previous post on this topic, it was time to publish a full review/impressions piece on the X-Pro2. To summarise: (i) it’s really, really good; but (ii) not everyone will agree with (i). I’ll be honest about the negatives but to be clear, for me, this camera makes them irrelevant. …
Scottish Aviation
Last Thursday morning I was rushing down to my local station early. For once, this wasn’t because of an early morning meeting, but rather because something special was about to happen. In this case, the something special was the visit of a steam train (locomotive), the Flying Scotsman. Once a holder of the world record …
Chinatown at New Year
First of all, a small confession. I didn’t actually go to the amazing parade to Trafalgar Square for Chinese New Year. I have always loved visiting Chinatown in London’s west end, ever since I moved to London in 2000. One of my favourite memories is visiting Chinatown with my other half in 2004(ish) to watch …
How I broke the Internet…
…. or possibly just my blog. Sorry to everyone who visits regularly that a number of the picture links broke in recent months. I hadn’t realised this was my fault, as I’ve had it happen previously because of server issues with Flickr. This time, however, it was all my fault. In an effort to tidy …
Balmy New Year
When I first thought of this post I wanted to call it barmy new year, because the weather really has been crazy this winter. For parts of it I’ve felt like I had acquired my own pet cloud that was following me around the country. Every day was grey and warm. At first that seems …
On the pleasure of shooting with a great camera
The Nikon D810 is a camera I’ve raved about before. It is an enormously capable camera which allows for images that are, at their best, better than any other camera with a 35mm sensor. There are a lot of things about the D810 that aren’t perfect: it’s a little thicker than I think Nikon could …
New year, new cameras, new statistics…
January has seen the launch of a couple of very impressive new cameras. Some of them look out of this world (boom, boom…). First out of the blocks was Nikon, with their new flagship D5 camera. The portrait gripped body has a 20mp sensor and shoots up to 12 frames per second (FPS). It has …
