When someone tells you off for taking their photo in public

When someone tells you off for taking their photo in public

As a candid photographer, as well as someone who is well versed in exterior / location based portraiture, there will be times when something catches your eyes as you aimlessly wander around. This happened to me yesterday. Unusually I wasn’t sporting my normal street camera, the diminutive Lumix GX-80 as I hadn’t intended to go […]

Camera Tethering

Tether a Fuji x-series camera to your PC/laptop

Written by Webmaster February 17, 2022February 17, 2022

Most photo editing software seems to support only a few cameras with direct tethering from within the application. One such product that I use is On1 PhotoRAW 2022. This supports just two camera brands, Nikon and Canon. Fortunately I am a Nikon user so I am able to tether the D600 to PhotoRAW without too […]

Dynamic Range Adjustment on Fujifilm cameras and how this affects darktable

Written by Webmaster November 18, 2021November 18, 2021

A real quick post here guys as this issue was stumping me until I found this page – https://www.darktable.org/2014/08/using-x-trans-cameras-with-darktable/ – at which point it all became a little clearer. Basically, and as you can see from the image below, my jpeg and RAW files when read by darktable are light years apart. The jpeg is […]

Remove A Colour Cast from Your Photos

Written by Webmaster October 28, 2021October 29, 2021

One of the most annoying things associated with photography is getting the white balance (WB) wrong, especially at night or under artificial lighting. While auto WB should help to overcome most lighting issues, it does pay to make sure that you use the right WB option available to you in camera for the situation you […]

Dunked your camera? It’s not all over, you’ve got a fighting chance to save it!

Dunked your camera? It’s not all over, you’ve got a fighting chance to save it!

First off let me say that the experience of falling in water with your camera around your neck is not the best fun you can have. My personal attempt did result in good scores from all judges especially as I bounced on some fairly large boulders before hitting water. Sadly, my Fujifilm x-T1 also saw […]

Compositing Images

Cull or Keep your Images – now that’s the question!

Cull or Keep your Images – now that’s the question!

When I first created this post I called it “Don’t be afraid to Cull Bad Images”. However, as the post evolved I felt that I needed to look at keeping versus culling in the round. This article therefore discusses my take on what stays and what goes in my photography. Now, I’m pretty good at […]

Digitising Negatives

Nailing the Film Experience

Written by Webmaster March 22, 2021March 22, 2021

Not being able to accurately digitise film makes it pretty difficult to work out if you actually took good pictures or not. Was the focus off, was the lighting good, was the subject matter sufficiently interesting to even bother! This is exactly the position I found myself in recently when I decided to experiment with […]

Lomography Digitalizer 35mm Film Scanning Mask

Written by Webmaster March 20, 2021March 22, 2021

I’ve mentioned the Lomography Digitalizer 35mm Film Scanning Mask (Lomography Digitalizer) in a few of my blogs but I thought I’d focus specifically on it for this one. Firstly, the Lomography Digitalizer is a simple scanning mask which can clamp and hold a strip of up to six 35mm colour or B&W negatives. You could […]

When you join a photography club it can be for several reasons. You might want to associate with others having similar interests. You might want to learn about photography. You might simply join in order to be able to enter competitions. Whatever your reason, what you need to do when you start your club journey […]

Digitising Film | The final solution – almost!

Written by Webmaster March 10, 2021March 13, 2021

Over the past week or two I’ve been experimenting with ways of capturing digital images directly from film negatives. I’ve been trying to do this as cheaply as possible by using as much of the gear as I have to hand to keep costs down. I’ve already created a couple of posts on this topic […]
