Monochrome only cameras – A curiosity or perfection?
With Ricoh announcing a monochrome only camera, and companies like Leica with their M11 and Q2 Monochrom and Pentax with the K3, you have to wonder why these monochrome only cameras exist, and would they be of interest to people? What is a digital monochrome camera? Digital cameras that only take photos in black and…
Ricoh GR IV – Maybe my next camera? Hear me out…
As an owner of both the powerful Nikon Z f and the versatile Nikon Z 6II, I’m well-equipped for virtually any photographic challenge. These full-frame marvels offer exceptional image quality, interchangeable lenses, and pro-level performance. However, there’s a space in my gear bag—and my life—that’s currently unfilled: the need for an exceptional, go-anywhere camera that…
“Prom People” Book Project! Take a look at my new book.
It was quite a few months in the making, however my new book from my project “Prom People” is now available and in my hands! I made a video of my reactions to me opening the package and looking through the book for the very first time! The book is bloody lovely! The images are…
Affinity Studio: Affinity Photo Has Gone Free!
Canva’s relaunch of the Affinity suite as the all-new Affinity Studio is a seismic event in the creative software landscape, transforming its three powerful desktop applications—Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher—into a single, unified platform that is now, surprisingly, completely free. Affinity has always been a powerful photo editing package, but it has always been held…
How I set up my Nikon ZF (and other cameras) for accurate and consistent usage in work and play.
I have both my Nikon Z6ii and Nikon ZF cameras set up very similarly, but this article is concentrating on the Nikon ZF because it allows you to do a few things that are either not available, or can’t be done on single button presses on the Nikon Z6ii Focusing The most important part of…
Elevate Your Editing: Why Upgrading to the Latest ON1 Photo RAW is a Game-Changer
This is a very close to launch preview of the beta version of ON1 Photo Raw 2026. There may be slight differences between this version and the released version, and this preview will be updated as a review on release of ON1 Photo Raw 2026. I have put many hours into testing this software, and…
A Crazy But Fun Lens Filter!
I’ve had this filter for a couple of months now, and my plan was to use it on a few portrait shoots, however, due to various reasons, I have only managed to test the filter out very briefly. It is a halo, vortex prism filter that I picked up cheap from Temu (of all places),…
My New Printer: Instax Square Link – A Review
As any long, or even short term viewer of my website knows, I like to print my images out on a regular basis. More specifically, I like to print mostly family photos, so that we have memories which are much more accessible than having them digitally. Recently I have been missing my square print images…
Nikon ZF Silver Edition Review And Thoughts
Nikon has finally released the ZF that a lot of people wanted to see. It’s vintage looks taking another step with the silver scheme. There is no denying that it looks absolutely stunning, and as a Nikon ZF user myself, using the ZF for work and play, I thought it was time for an exhaustive…
In camera grain for mirrorless cameras? Is it a good idea? Nikon thinks so!
Now that Nikon have announced the addition of in camera grain for their Nikon ZF cameras (and possibly others) I thought I would share some thoughts on what I feel about the ability to add grain to your images in your recipes. Nikon ZF implementation Nikon are adding a quite robust system for the addition…
7Artisans 14mm F/2.8 (2025) Lens Review
Recently I decided that to fill the gap I was missing between the 11mm fisheye F/2.8 and 20mm F/2.8 lenses that I have. I have owned the F Mount version of the 14-24mm previously for my Z Mount, however, it was a huge lens and I decided to sell it. As I generally only ever…
My typical photography gear for a full days wedding
I thought you would all be interested in what gear I use for a full days wedding. A full day can include everything from before wedding images with the bride and groom individually getting ready (occasionally), the lead to and including the ceremony, a photoshoot after the ceremony, candid shots in the downtime before the…
Fujifilm Instax Mini 41 VS Instax Mini 99 – The Instax Cameras For Adults!
Fujifilm Instax cameras have a reputation for looking like children’s toys, and it’s right, many of the cheaper Fujifilm Instax cameras are very childlike in looks, but those are the cameras aimed at the younger generation. What we’re going to do today is take a look at two more grown up Instax cameras (for adults!),…
Jpeg Files Are Misunderstood – Are They Flexible Enough For Editing? The Answer Will Surprise you!
Many of us take our photographers using raw files to capture all the details, and of course, that makes total sense! However, there is always a vicious lie that you can not recover details from jpeg files. While, to some degree this is correct for some photos, jpeg files far more malleable than you may…
Nikon NX Studio Review
I’ve recently started using NX Studio by Nikon on a much more regular basis than I thought I would. I started using the software to create colour profiles for Nikon Z cameras, but soon realised that NX Studio was more than capable of editing software, and it’s completely free! Here is a comprehensive review of…
Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo – A Long Term Review
I didn’t think I would be writing a long term review on this camera, but three years later, I’m still using and enjoying the Mini Evo, maybe not in the same way as I was originally, but it’s still a lot of fun. Here is my long term review, about my usage. What is the…
A New, Free And Open Source Raw Editor Is In Development – And Its Looking Great!
Raw editors come and go, and we all have our favourite raw editors. Maybe you are a fan of Adobe’s Lightroom, or Luminar Neo, or maybe you like supporting free software like Darktable and RawTherapee. Whatever you use, it’s great to know that you can try other software for free. What is even more exciting…
My Lighting Equipment – In Depth
A short while ago we took a deep dive into my lens collection. Wet looked at what I had, what each lens was used for, plus my general feelings of the lenses and where I want to go with them. Today it is the turn of my lighting. So without further ado, we will look…
My Lenses – An In-depth Look
I want to take an in-depth look at my lens collection, specifically a range of focal lengths that are quite close together, and the perceived lack of wide angle lenses. All lenses are Z mount lenses, native for the system to get the very best results in image quality, autofocus and lens features. This article…
The Nikon Z6ii – A long term review.
It’s currently June 2025 and I have been using my Nikon Z6ii for around 18 months (and around 14,000 images), and it is at this point that I feel I can give a full and honest review of the camera, how it is to handle, how the files are to edit and that important question…
Preview: The Yashica FX-D is coming, and it could be the perfect retro camera.
I’ve said it so many times. I’m not going to buy another camera! And then comes along an idea for a camera that just hits me where it hurts. The Yashica FX-D is a new camera due for release in August 2025. From early previews, the concept looks fantastic… But from Yashica’s past offerings, it…
A New Camera. First Impressions. First Test Photos
On Saturday I ordered a new camera, and on Sunday midday it turned up at my home! The excitement was overwhelming, and I spent the day setting up the camera as best as I could so that it works the way that I want it to. Here are my first impressions and a few test…

There is a new tool in town, and it can transform your editing, no matter what editing software you use. Even if you are using the most basic of editing packages, this new tool will allow you to do amazing things with your images, making editing a breeze! The tool in question is the brand…
GIMP 3.0.2 Review: A Welcome Step Forward, But Still Room to Grow
I have been using GIMP for many years, and I have been using GIMP 3 ever since it started having release candidates. With the release of Gimp 3.0 (and now 3.0.2) I take a look at what the software offers, the pro’s, the con’s and if you should consider it. GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation…
Retropia Oreo Disposable Camera Lens Review
I have been interested in these lenses for a while, and so when I was lucky enough to have a voucher for the lens, I thought to myself “why the hell not?”. What could go wrong with a lens that costs less than £25? Well… Here is the lowdown. If you would like a special…
Darktable 4.2 Review And Overview
Another year is ending (and ended!) with a new Darktable release, and the free and open source community brings us another stunning release with Darktable 4.2. This is a major update, and not because it offers many new features (it has a few great news features!), but because many parts of it have been re-written,…
Fujifilm X-T3 long term review
It’s almost 2023, so I thought I would look at the Fujifilm X-T3 and give a long term user review on this fantastic camera. You don’t need in-depth specifications, just an honest look at day to day heavy usage of one of Fujifilms finest cameras. The Fujifilm X-T3 camera was released in 2018 and was…
DXO PhotoLab 6 Elite Review
Although not as well known as other software packages, the DXO name IS known from the excellent Nik Collection. DXO as a company are responsible for testing lenses and cameras in great detail, and with this knowledge, its allowed them to build possibly one of the best editing packages available right now. Right from the…
Fujifilm X-Mount 56mm F/1.4 Review
I recently reviewed the newer Viltrox 13mm F/1.4 lens for Fujifilm which I bought at the same time as the Viltrox 56mm F/1.4 lens. While there is a lot similar between the 56mm and the 13mm, there are also differences. Let’s take a look at the Viltrox 56mm F/1.4 in a bit of detail and…
Fujifilm X-Mount Viltrox 13mm F/1.4 lens review.
I’ve never really been one to use third party autofocus lenses, but a while ago I purchased the Viltrox 23mm F/1.4 and fell in love with it. In fact, so much so, that for the last 18 months or more that I’ve had it, it has been almost glued to my Fujifilm X-T3. I also…
