We’ll call this a little more Brexit delayed output, originally I intended to publish this in May. London is vulnerable to flooding. If a storm surge coincides with a spring tide, dangerously high water levels can occur in the Thames Estuary. The threat has increased over time due to the slow but continuous rise in …

The Bus to Shepherd’s Bush
Another post from earlier in the year that I failed to finish because of Brexit related nonsense. This one from late May… My son was keen for a Saturday out of the house recently, so I scoured the pages of “things to do” magazines about London and the south east for something right up his …
Reasons to be cheerful, or why brexit is very unlikely…
Theresa May said “brexit means brexit”, we see a parade of right wing clowns into the government roles related to negotiating brexit and we hear the rest of the EU wants us out. So if you believe in the UK’s EU membership you should suck it up and get over it, right? Wrong. Neither the economy …
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 …
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 …
Happy New Year: the Best of 2015
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 – …
Q Who? User Impressions of a wonder camera: The Leica Q Typ 116
My last post brings me neatly to my favourite camera of the last 12 months, the Leica Q. As a long term RX1 user, I was very excited when the Leica Q was announced. It took me precisely 5 seconds to conclude the combination of a compact body, WA lens, fast AF and built in …
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 …
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 …
