These past few posts are topsy-turvy – I always said that the Monday post would be a written post and the Thursday post would be a gallery. However, last week due to workload I didn’t manage to get the written Tourbox Pt.2 post out until Wednesday or Thursday, so for this week I’m going start the Monday with a gallery. It’s actually an old set of images. This weekend I’ve started going through…

I’ve mentioned this tool a few times now and I’ve yet to write about it. I used the product extensively at this year’s Cannes film festival and I’ve got a few observations. But first, what is a tourbox? It is essentially a game controller that’s laid out for single hand use with buttons and knobs. Have a look on the website or the picture above. I have mine positioned on the left of the…

With my last purchase being the GFX camera back in January, it was obviously time for me to spend some more money and apparently, rushes of blood to the head (or purse) are like buses; 2 come along in short succession. The first was a purchase I have been considering for a while. For many years I have preferred a tablet over a mouse when editing but increasingly I house found it more difficult…

Today’s gallery is hot off the press, featuring images from last night’s keenly awaited film premiere (and probably the hottest premiere of the year so far, in so many ways). With the film showing in 2 cinemas, the event ran about an hour earlier than a normal premiere which was nice for the journey home, but less nice in terms of the light. Harsh sunlight beamed down on the carpet making it…

Last night I presented my images and talked about my visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo to Uckfield Camera Club. This week, before the presentation, I added stress for myself by re-visiting all the images to re-edit using the latest software (this process will be the subject of Monday’s post). In the meantime, here are a few images from an IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camp at the…

Today I head to London for a 4 day job; The London Soundtrack Festival. Like most nights before a job such as this, I did not have a great night’s sleep – I guess its down to anticipatory stress. I’m fortunate that I do a job I love so as many say it’s a good sign; pre-job stress shows I care. I know there are many that get stressed before going to work for the totally opposite reason. The…

Those of you that have been following this blog for a while will know that for many (many) years I have been using Silver eEFex Pro (part of the Nik Collection, now by DxO) to produce my Monochrome images. I’ve mentioned its use many times: Wicked Little…. Monochrome’s DXO / NIK Suite Just Working: Frightfest NIK collection away for free  (10 years ago!) I have created custom presets for…

What a difference a week makes! I am writing this (short) introduction to this gallery post in the garden, sipping on a coffee and nibbling hot hot cross buns. (Hows that for scene setting). This week’s gallery is rather short. It’s purpose is to highlight the strength of the GFX100 sensors when it comes to high contrast images. The following were all taken in London Cinemas of LED advertising…
