Sustainability
In the early 90's, I lost my reflex camera, a Miranda Sensorex, in an accident. Then I bought a second hand Pentax camera with a Pentax 50mm lens. more
Escher’s Dream
The tree alley which is the subject of these photographs is likely one of the most photographed locations in Germany, at least regarding trees. more
Lens Quality and Testing
Tim Parkin and David Ward overran the predicted hour long discussion on the ins and outs of lens quality and testing but with such a lot of ground our listeners supported our flagrant ignorance of temporal limitations. With lenses costing so much itís pretty important to make the right purchasing decision but how can we do this without trying all of the possibilities out ourselves. Well there more
John Blakemore Book Binding and Sequencing Workshop

Not only did I get to meet him, but I was able to spend two days with him, listening and learning from the master.

It was the 23rd of February 2010 and I’d bought my first SLR camera, a Pentax K-X, about three weeks before. Up until this point I was firmly a happy snapping hillwalker who had treated himself to an upgrade from his old Canon compact. I went to Aira Point and shot back into the rising sun. The colour was more
