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

I just realised I haven’t posted anything to my photoblog recently, so here’s one I’ve just processed from Barbados last year. I’ve never worked out why Foul Bay has its name – it’s a lovely long stretch of clean unbroken Continue reading
