Red Roof Reflections
As my “photographic eye” develops, I find I’m noticing much more readily the colour of light, and how it can be modified by things both inside and outside the scene. This shot of St. Nicholas Abbey on Barbados is an Continue reading
Hallelujah! High ISO Which Works!
As followers of my photography will know, one of my pet subjects is indoor entertainment, photographed by available light. I like capturing memories of enjoyable events, I love the colours of interesting stage lighting, and I like the challenge of Continue reading
First Bibble Plugin Published
I’ve just published my first plugin for the popular image processing suite, Bibble. CAQuest manages chromatic aberration correction, so if you find yourself always having to apply correction for “purple fringes”, this is the tool you need. To find out Continue reading
Cuba Photo Notes
“Photographer’s paradise” is probably putting it far too strongly, but Cuba does provide easy access to a great range of material in almost every genre: fashion and international sports might be a bit of a challenge (unless you bring some Continue reading
An Uncomfortable Vision
I took this picture almost on auto-pilot, and was immediately torn about whether to keep it, or delete it. Was I guilty of exploiting the little girl? However, what happened next was interesting, and a tale worth telling. Another tourist Continue reading

The Amazing Malay Apple – Follow Up
I’ve been playing around with the previous image a bit more, and I’ve come up with this version – taken from a single original RAW file, but processed twice as a sort of “pseudo HDR” to knock back the highlights Continue reading
The Amazing Malay Apple
Although I love tropical gardens, photographing them can be a challenge: there’s often so much greenery that isolating a subject becomes a real challenge, and since most are closed during the “golden hours”, you can be battling quite harsh light Continue reading
Grockles! (Santorini Portfolio Now Online)
Well, I’ve finally finished processing my shots from last year’s trip to Santorini. As expected, lots of blue church domes and sunsets over the caldera, but a few more unusual images as well. The sunset light there really is quite Continue reading
Caldera Sunset #3
Sorry there was no photoblog post last week, but I was busy processing my shots from the wedding of my good friend, Dave. Here’s a third (and, I promise, final) “Caldera Sunset” shot from my Santorini trip. This one works, Continue reading
