I love Blackpool and hate it at the same time. I love and hate it’s weather, it’s tackiness and the people that I see there. But I always love the smells, the atmosphere and the colour, especially at night. I went to see the Illuminations last night and was reminded that they are Blackpool at…

#16 – More Handheld Night Photography
It was almost dark when our ship left Barcelona, but being a large industrial port, it operates round the clock. This container ship was being unloaded, so I took the opportunity to get a shot. I wasn’t sure how well it would turn out as our ship was moving, so I just had to set the camera…
#15 – Sardinian Shadows
I don’t know why, but this scene just caught my eye. I loved all the little streets of Cagliari and when I wandered down this one the way the shadows created this wonderful image in front of me. It was an obvious candidate to convert to mono! All it needed was someone to be in…
#12 – Super Wide Angle Fun :)
For several years, I used a Sigma 10-20mm lens on my Nikon D70. As this was a DX (crop format) camera, this gave a focal length of 15-30mm, and for urban exploration and landscape use, it was fantastic. However, I had to sell this when I upgraded to a full frame (FX) camera, as DX…
#9 – ARCHIVE MAY 2009: Long Exposures
Night photography is something I enjoy doing but don’t get round to doing enough of. Why? Something to do with Not being arsed in the evenings once I get home from work – in the winter when it gets dark early it’s normally cold and wet, while in the summer, it doesn’t get dark until…
#8 – ARCHIVE MARCH 2009: Nikon D700 and Low Light Steam Railway Photography
One of the prime reasons I bought the D700 was it’s incredible high ISO / low light ability, matched only by the D3, with which it shares the sensor. At low ISO it’s extremely good, with pretty much no noise visible, and my first shots for the night were at low ISO’s with pretty long…
#7 – ARCHIVE FEBRUARY 2009: Nikon D700 Low Noise Performance
After nearly 4 years of reliable performance, I’ve relegated my Nikon D70 to the shelf as a back-up camera. In it’s place, and at great cost, I’ve invested in a Nion D700. What an incredible camera! I’m more of a photographer than a camera enthusiast, but the D700 is just amazing. Yes it’s bloody expensive,…
