Just a few images from around my rapidly gentrifying 'manor' in the East End of London. Images taken on phone, film, DSLR and mirrorless.

Architecture with the Zeiss 35mm PC-D
There are plenty of people who would suggest that you can't shoot architecture with a 35mm and you need a 24mm or wider. I used to be in that camp too some extent but I have found that with a shift lens on a full frame body you can do a lot with a 35mm… Continue reading Architecture with the Zeiss 35mm PC-D
A Simple Pleasure!
I know it's been too quiet around here lately, life has caught up with me on a number of levels over the last little while and I've just not had the energy to dedicate to photography or blogging. Thankfully we managed a really great holiday in France & Spain over the last couple of weeks.… Continue reading A Simple Pleasure!
Bar
This is the Bar and living room in our new seaside holiday rental in Hastings which is finally taking shape! Bith shot with the Sony A7r using Canon TS-E glass, the upper one with the Wonderful 17mm and the other using the much maligned, but in my experience (Good copy?) pretty decent 45mm. … Continue reading Bar
HNY

Red/Blue
haven't posted for awhile, been busy with other things, but I need to get back into play with blogging, so here goes. I found a few old images on an external hard drive at the weekend, so I'll post some over the next few days.
Cuban’s – 15 images
Just for fun, and since Ming Thein's latest post reminded me of my own trip to Cuba, I'm posting some of my shots from a Light & Land workshop I did in there a few years back… I exhibited these couple of years back and made a couple of print sales too. For the record,… Continue reading Cuban’s – 15 images
MAXXI Rome – 10 Images
Zaha Hadid's MAXXI design museum in Rome. The stunning thing about these images, is they are pretty much straight out of camera JPEGs. Honestly, I think the Sony is giving me results that approach what I'd have done working from the RAW files.
