Backlog: May 2019
Thursday 8th of December 2022
Yeesh! If I thought last month was photographically sparse, this month was even worse. It appears I only took about 170 pictures across the entire month, and big chunks of those were just minor variations on a single subject – in effect I only had about 5 ‘sessions’ to pick from. First up, attempts at self-portraits with a 21mm-e lens. Very natural, I’m sure you’ll agree. Albeit not focused on the…

Backlog: March 2019
Friday 25th of November 2022
Looking through my photo library, pictures from this month are mostly of Zoe and Emily – it seems I didn’t get out to do anything else very much. Still, you can never have enough pictures of your wife and daughter, so I’m not complaining :) Even now, almost 4 years on, Em still loves going on the swings.

Backlog: February 2019
Thursday 24th of November 2022
More fog this month, this time on a morning walk around Lound Lakes. While preparing the images for this post, I was inspired by a video I recently watched about the Hassleblad X-Pan/Fujifuilm TX-1, so decided to try cropping the images to that camera’s super wide 65×24 (1:2.7) aspect ratio. It’s certainly a challenge trying to find images to fit, as obviously none of them were shot with this in…

Exploring the 7Artisans 25mm f/1.8
Saturday 15th of February 2020
About 2 months ago, I got the 7Artisans 25mm f/1.8 lens as a Christmas present from my wife. I’d been eyeing it up for a while, wondering if a fully manual lens would really be my thing. Considering I already own the two Fuji 23mm lenses (so more or less the same focal length), I wasn’t sure I really needed it. This is a remarkably inexpensive lens though: £79 from Amazon UK, so even if I didn’t r…

Walking with baby
Sunday 25th of February 2018
Although it’s cold and wintry, last weekend the sun was out so Zoe and I decided to go for a walk in Dunwich Forest. Given the rough terrain we decided against Emily’s pram and instead took the baby harness to put her in instead. yellow flowered bush in cleared forest land trees ready for logging Zoe at the end of the road forest path 1 forest path 2 archery range sign forest pond bench in the woo…

Holiday in Malta 2017, day 5
Saturday 29th of April 2017
Today, Marsaxlokk again, this time for lunch. The weather was a bit dull and grey, and we felt like having a nice relaxed, lazy day, so we didn’t want to do anything too adventurous. boats on the shore of Pretty Bay colourful boat prow yellow and orange floats boat propped up for repair lifejackets on a small boat fishing nets spread out on the ground We had lunch at a place called Southeast Café.…

Holiday in Malta 2017, day 3 (part 2)
Thursday 20th of April 2017
Il-waqfa li ymiss : Rabat, and thence Mdina. Eventually, at least – we got a bit lost in Rabat as a result of my not-very-clear memory of the town’s layout, and my attempt to find what I thought was a nice café (it wasn’t that great in the end). petrol station in Rabat narrow alleyway me in a circular mirror After lunch we headed into Mdina itself. bright blue door plant pot in the sun ramp and st…
