When I first accepted this bag for review, I hadn’t seen it ‘in the flesh’ but I did have a very real question I was hoping it might answer. You see, the quandary that a great majority of photographers face when heading outdoors is how to carry both their outdoor kit (waterproofs, flask, lunch, accessories [...]
This week: I’m in conversation once again with photographer/writer Hugh Graham, who was one of my lecturers when I studied photography at University. Perfect Resize 7 is the latest version of what a lot of you will know as Genuine Fractals - a great program, first and foremost, designed for upscaling photographs. Rather than this being one [...]
Around the middle of last year, you may remember I was interviewed for OutdoorInformer.com, where I spoke about what it is to be involved with the world of photography and the great outdoors. Well, once again, I’ve had the pleasure of receiving another request for my thoughts – this time from Outdoor Minded Mag. [...]
Today carries with it a certain poignancy. You see, my Grandad would have been 101 years old and so, as well as pausing for thought, it gives me an excuse to share a post I put up to mark the occasion this time last year. For those who didn’t see that post, I talked about [...]
One of my pet gripes with the way manufacturers design/construct their kit is the way in which they often confuse the concept of ‘adding features’ with ‘over-engineering’ a product. Let’s face it, the camera bag is a simple affair really. A main compartment, a couple of accessory pockets, secure fastening of some sort and a [...]
This week: I’m deep in woodland once again, this time photographing bluebell flowers. Around this time each year, many ancient woodlands throughout the country spring to life, with a carpet of bluebells appearing almost overnight. I make a point of visiting one such place every year, to see what different shots I can capture and [...]
I’d like to share another find with you today… Yes, it’s another video and no, it’s not about photographing women in bikinis on the beach! I’m not going to say any more, other than quoting Casey Neistat’s exact words as they appear at the start. But I think this sends out some good messages relating [...]

This week: I’m returning to the scene of a location I scouted some time ago, to see whether or not it still presents the same opportunities as it once did. It’s often the case that when we spot great locations on our travels, there’s simply not the chance to make use of them at the time [...]
Every now and then, I come a cross a person, a video, a picture, a song or some other kind of content which makes me stop and think. Doesn’t have to be for a particularly dramatic reason, just a certain quality which triggers the little grey cells. Whilst going about my online activities this morning, [...]
This week: I’m talking a little more about the wonders of phone camera technology. I think it’s great the way that people have adopted this latest way to capture and share pictures – both those who have an interest in photography and the general public at large. Of course, this is just the latest step along [...]
