Too many of my recent posts have been technical ones, especially with trying to get the “Micro Four Thirds Lens Correction Project” off the ground, so here’s a nice picture to address the balance.
This is from our short trip to Dubrovnik, just about this time last year. The rocks were lit by the last rays of the setting sun, and while I normally go for short exposures of moving water, this subject demanded a slower speed to really capture the swirls of the crashing waves. I’m pleased by the sharpness, given that this was taken at 1/5s hand held! Thank <insert deity of choice here> for image stabilisation!

I just realised I haven’t posted anything for a week or two, so I thought you might like to see one of my photos. We had a great trip last year to Maastricht, enjoying not only the wandering around a Continue reading →

The wildlife on a Barbados trip is usually pretty predictable: lizards, turtles, monkeys, flying fish, various small birds and fish. This year had already improved on the norm with a couple of hummingbird sightings, but that was before our catamaran Continue reading →

I don’t know whether anyone else has this problem, but it can take me an inordinate amount of time to process photos from larger trips and events. Today is the anniversary of my return from my Cuba trip (as I’ve Continue reading →

After an inevitable delay while I set up my new PC, I’m finally back to sorting out some images. The new beast certainly does what I wanted it to. Processing an 18MP RAW file on the old laptop took up Continue reading →

After a week of beautiful but desolate landscapes in Iceland, I fancied a bit of colour and vibrance from Cuba. This was the first shot in the list, and a bit intriguing. It’s definitely one way of keeping your car Continue reading →

I was ready for a quiet day of mainly driving on Sunday. I was also ready to report a total of about 1800 shots taken, which is a bit lower than for the Cuba trip, not unreasonable given the slightly Continue reading →
Saturday was when our tour really delivered on its “fire and ice” moniker. We started the day at the Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon, where an edge of the enormous Vatnajokull glacier calves off into the sea. Whereas 100 years ago this Continue reading →
