You are going to probably think I am on drugs or at the very least, under mdical supervision when you see this photograph. Having spent a day in Monaco recently there were indeed some amazing photographs to be had. The hugely popular square outside of the world famous casino for example, the mega yachts dotting […]

Like many people I use a variety of cameras. I started out with film back in the mid 80’s with a Pentax KM and then moved into digital with various compacts, notibly Nikon in the 00’s and then into my first mirrorless camera, the diminutive Panasonic Lumix GX80 a few years back. Since then I […]

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 […]

THE PROBLEMPrinter (an Epson SC-P600) exhibits green hue when printing B&W prints using various software. In addition, the nozzle […]

Like most of you reading this I own a number of cameras. Nothing really outstanding or even expensive but I like my tech. I don’t think I have GAS, but like most potential addicts, I’m only a step away. Amongst my ensemble of gear is the diminutive Panasonic Lumix GX-80, hereafter the GX-80 (also known […]

This is the second roll of film I have put through my aging Pentax KM and I’m very much more pleased with these results than for the Kentmere 400 (also an Ilford product) that I tried first. Now, that could be down to inexperience, it was the first roll of film I had developed in […]

Anyone following this blog will know that I love experimenting with photography. Whether that is playing with film, building stuff, digitising my negatives on a shoestring or just having fun with stuff like Nik Efex. A couple of weeks ago I was experimenting with digitising negatives and it became very clear that the lenses available […]
