A few years ago, before our eldest son was born, we had our first holiday in North Norfolk and really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Later we returned with our young son and had lots of fun rediscovering the place through his eyes. More recently, our youngest joined us and we wanted a week away somewhere …

March of the Machines
A few weeks ago I visited the Robots exhibition at the Science Museum, in London. I took along my favourite low light camera, the Sony A7RII. The exhibition blurb states that it is “Focusing on why they exist rather than on how they work, our blockbuster exhibition explores the ways robots mirror humanity and the …
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 …
Devon Daze
I should probably point out in advance that if you are expecting more outraged political discourse, this post isn’t it. This post harks back to the time when all I used to write about was travel, life in general and photography. I digress…. This year we wanted to head to somewhere new on holiday. Money …
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 …
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 …
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 – …
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 …
