Hello all, I’ve taken a few days away with my family over the holidays, so I didn’t get to write the last post I intended for December on lenses for the Sony A7 series. There are a ton of other posts I intended to write but which have fallen by the wayside this year – …

Micro
Some of you, who follow my Flickr photostream, may have noticed that from time to time I shoot with Micro Four Third cameras, or M43s. It’s fair to observe I don’t use them all the time and I tend to reserve them for particular situations. Why? Well, sometimes you end up as a resolution and …
Fireworks and Bonfires
It was, of course, that time of year in the UK the last week and like many other families around the UK we trooped to our local firework display. It was held in the grounds of a local school, with the standing area on the playground (avoiding the joy of mud in previous years) and …
I was wrong…. More thoughts on the Leica SL
Ok, so I used a Leica SL in anger for the first time yesterday, and I’ve strongly revised my opinions. I think the camera is impressive, as is the lens. In my opinion, what we have here is a mini D4 with 4K, wifi, gps, better resolution and certainly the best EVF I’ve ever seen. I still …
Significantly Lengthy? Thoughts on the Leica SL
I thought I ought to write something about the Leica SL that’s just been announced. 24mp 35mm sensor in a robust aluminium body roughly the size of a D810. 11 FPS, exceptional EVF, wifi, gps, dual card slots, 4K – there’s a lot to like here. If I didn’t know better I would say this …
Quarter Final
At the weekend I was lucky and unlucky enough to find myself at the Rugby World Cup Quarter Final. Lucky because it was amazing to attend and another chance to go might not come around for 8 years. Unlucky because my team lost! The game in question was Wales vs South Africa, two very strong …
Memories of summer
It feels a bit strange to start reminiscing about things that happened a month ago, but the weather moves quickly from summer to Autumn and we’ve already had the heating on a couple of evenings in my house. It also distracts me from completing several worthy write ups of the Tamron 15-30mm lens and the …
Tornado through Brookmans
So I find myself on a Great Northern train heading for Kings Cross writing a blog post on my phone*. What could go wrong? Quite a lot later after a few pints watching the rugby one suspects… Though I’m still amazed at how much fun it is to watch a steam train power through my …
Trains, Kites and Boats
I begin my post with the happiness of having had both a recent holiday and a satisfying piece of work on my house to get at least one of the chaotic rooms in order (or at least, having covered over the luminous peach, my eyes no longer bleed on entering the room). It’s amazing how …
2 days, 2 cameras and a Motor Pageant
Once again, it was time for the Enfield Pageant of Motoring a couple of weeks ago and despite having jumped ship to Hertfordshire, I did want to go as I’ve always enjoyed it. My other half told me this would be an adventure that my son and I would share together 😉 so, after much …
