Ebay buyers beware. Not all sellers are as honest as they say!

Written by Mobeus 3 July 20234 July 2023

Earlier today I contacted an Ebay seller about a Kodak Easyshare compact camera they had for sale. It was cheap, from memory about £5 plus a small postage fee, a total of perhaps £8 or £9 in total. The “trusted seller” listed it as untested because “he didn’t have any batteries”. It was also being […]

Are your photos bombing in club competitions?

Are your photos bombing in club competitions? Here’s how to improve your chances of success! Club photography competitions are a lottery at the best of times. What you think is a great photo also has to resonate with a judge to have any chance of winning. Put a foot outside of convention when it comes […]

What makes a good photograph?

What makes a good photograph? Here are a few personal thoughts on how to read an image I like images that tell stories and for this reason, I tend to lean towards documentary and candid photography although I personally like to call this, observational photography. When I have a camera in my hand, I am […]

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 Mobeus 17 February 202217 February 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 […]

Remove A Colour Cast from Your Photos

Written by Mobeus 28 October 202129 October 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 […]
