I’ve been meaning to write this since early September and I have a bunch of other stuff to get through that’s queued behind it. The trouble is, this is a piece about the area I just moved from and there’s just so much to cram in. I can remember now how we discovered Enfield. Some …

Bentley Speed 8 with my X100S
I came across this being displayed near where I work. It’s the Bentley that participated in the Le Mans 24 Hour race in the early noughties (though not the one that won in 2003, this is the one that came second). It’s a amazing looking car in the flesh. Taken with my Fujifilm X100S
Overstrand with many cameras…
This post was to be christened “Overstrand and Poppyland”, but I realised as I was writing it that I had no decent photos of Poppys from our trip to Norfolk! This week I was on holidays in Overstrand. Overstrand is a village on the North Norfolk coast, between Cromer and Mundesley. It was once (or a …
Justice for Becky Reed
Yesterday I went along to a picnic in support of a healthcare professional facing charges from her regulatory body (and I took some cameras along). I will confess that the last three years have been an education. Not just the joy (and tribulations) of becoming a parent but also having some of your strongest beliefs …
St George’s Day at Leadenhall Market
I would like to start this post by saying thank you (as a Welshman) to all my English friends for the kind wishes they’ve given me over the years on Wales’ national day, “St Patrick’s Day”, nuff said… 😉 I jest but I’ve never understood how it has ended up that the national day of …
The future of X-Trans RAW: Apple Aperture?
I was really surprised at the message telling me Apple Aperture had acquired Fuji X-trans compatibility (for use with the X-Pro1, X-E1 and X100S). I downloaded it, gave a conversion a look, thought it looked OK and disregarded it on the basis that Aperture is way overdue for an update and lacks decent CA control …
How good is the X100S?
Very. This camera is simply addictive. The rendering, colours, ergonomics and VF are just amazing. At the minute, don’t shoot me, but I’m thinking of selling the X-E1 I only just bought. I’m also not adding the X-Pro1 back into my bag (though that has more to do with wanting to adopt a street/documentary …
Margaret Thatcher Dies
I should start by saying that this isn’t really about Margaret Thatcher’s death. I think that’s sad for her family and friends and my thoughts go out to them. Equally, while she was a divisive character who did many things that had to be done, she also did many things that didn’t have to be …
X100S + WCL-X100 = Great
What a great combination. Optically fantastic provided you correct the distortion. I’m talking about the WCL-X100 wide angle converter which converts the X100 23mm lens to a 19mm lens (which means it becomes a 28mm equivalent). The build quality of this converter is excellent. It just feels like a solid hunk of metal and glass, with …
Some impressions of the FujiFilm X100S
I’ve been silent most of this week because of family stuff last week and a busy week in work this week. One notable arrival this week was the X100S last Saturday which I’m still trying to find time and light to take shots with. This meant the departure of my X100 but it’s gone to …
