My latest offering over on the Wex Blog is now live. This time around, I’m giving you a guide to choosing between some of the many compact system cameras (CSCs) currently available on the market. The past few years have seen a rapid increase in the quantity of CSCs out there and picking the right model for […]
This week: I’m taking you all the way back to last September for an update of a magazine feature I put together at the Goodwood Revival. The feature in question was an idea I pitched to Airstream Life magazine – and American publication – in the weeks leading up to the event. Now that I’ve received […]
This week: I’m telling you about a new series launching on the website this month. If you’ve got a burning question, something you’ve always wanted to ask me about photography, the outdoors, running a business, kit, technique, etc… Just ask! Q&A 500 is simple… Send me your question and I will feature it in a short […]
This week: I’m taking you all the way back to last summer for an update of a magazine feature I put together at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. This particular feature was pitched to the magazine in question in the weeks leading up to the event and is a good example of how, often, you have to […]
I’ve been aware of Nikwax and their products for many years. Back in my school and college days, I had a Saturday job in a local ski/outdoors shop (no surprises there, then!), where I used to sell the stuff. Nikwax’s range of waterproofing/cleaning products is ever-expanding. But even way back when, a best seller was […]
As I write this, I’m sat in my car overlooking one of the many footpaths that line the south coast. On a fine day, this route is one of my favourites; you can follow it for about 2.5 miles, camera in hand, stopping for lunch at one of the local pubs overlooking the water before […]

Some quick links to things mentioned in this show: Pre-Test/Review Video: Lowepro Rover Pro 45L AW backpack Test/Review: Manfrotto Compact Photo-Movie Kit tripod TAP article: How To Select A Set Of Sticks (tripod buyers’ […]
A lot of you will be aware that whenever I head out on the hill or into woodland, I always pack my lightweight tarp. It is such a versatile piece of kit and offers great protection from the elements – whether that be sun, rain, wind, snow, whatever. I’ll be writing in greater detail about […]
Tripods can often be a much-overlooked item in the photographer’s arsenal. So simple in design – essentially, they comprise just three adjustable legs and a method of attaching a camera to the top of a centre column – yet there are many times when using one can mean the difference between securing a great shot and missing a […]
As a lot of you will know, I’m a great fan of keeping things simple – both when it comes to photography and spending time in the outdoors. For me, picking suitable kit is just the start of things. With that consideration out of the way, you’re free to make the most of your surroundings. […]
Given that my Filters Buyers Guide has been so well received over on the Wex Blog (10,000+ views at the time of writing), I thought I’d share the link here, for the benefit of those of you who maybe haven’t seen it yet. Filters are curious things. So simple in their design and yet to the […]
Ok, so given this post and my recent activities on here, you might think I’ve jumped ship from the outdoors world to all things combustion engine-based! After all, episodes, #122, #123 and #124 of the podcast were centred around my activities at this year’s Goodwood Festival Of Speed. Well fear not, my outdoor chums, for […]
