OPTIC All Stars Day 01: B&H's Outdoor Photo/Video Travel Imaging Conference online now:

Hi, I recently sold a Fujifilm Zoom Date 2.8, aka Silvi. I've used this camera as a backup, only taking a few snaps every now and then. As a result, when I finally developed the Ektar it was loaded with, I was surprised to find a great variety of places this single roll visited: Andalucia...

Well folks the dreaded GAS has struck again, and I splashed the cash on a PD Travel Tripod the Carbon Fibre version . Bloody expensive I know but I would only fritter the money away on Wine, Women and Song! 🤗 Initial impressions are very good, and the tripod comes complete with everything one...

Last year I travelled to Japan for the first time, it was my first big trip overseas as an adult. I spent a month there and had an amazing time. I haven't really shown my photos anywhere so I figured I'll start a thread here where I can post, over a period of time, various shots from my trip...

With my kit being down to three lenses and two bodies. It wasn’t hard to narrow it down. Basically, take everything. X-Pro2 and 56mm in a Think Tank Spectral 8 bag with the peak design leash, 10 stop filter, shutter release, step up rings, and batteries/charger. X-E3 with 16mm/35mm in a think...

This is not going to be as long and intense as last years thread, but some might find it interesting - because this time, I did the opposite: Instead of packing my most highly rated gear, I went with two compacts, the Panasonic FZ1000 and, again, the Canon G1X III, plus my father's Olympus XA...

Well, I know this that I'm probably not the only one travelling throughout Scotland this summer, but I'll use this thread to show some images - miscellaneous subjects, ordered by date (roughly). The first couple of days were nice enough, if a bit too warm for my liking, but who am I to complain...

A changeable week in Cornwall - mostly fine weather but a couple of gloomy, drizzly days. The grand plan was to introduce Inky to the sea (having never seen it before). At first she was ok with the beach, then terror took over as she saw and heard the big wet roary thing. So we stuck to the...

I've been ordering a few end of year photo books while the offers are good and reworking a few older images. Here are a few from a trip to Islay last year focusing on the wonderful skyscapes.

We just got back from a trip to Luang Prabang in Laos where we signed up for an elephant trek with Mandalao tours. They are the only organisation in Luang Prabang running tours that don't allow riding on the elephants, which was what we wanted. Here are a few pictures from our tour. I'll post...

I finally made it to Angkor last week and spent a few days visiting the temples and hanging around in Siem Reap. I took about a year's worth of pictures in five days and have just about managed to get the total down to around 400. Here are a few I've picked out and done a bit of work on. All...

The Cemetery in Taguig, Metro Manila is the burial place for more than 17,000 service personnel and a memorial for over 36,000 more. There is further information in the Cemetery Booklet. Normally Manila weather means blue skies and bright sunshine with corresponding hard shadows, or a solid...

After a couple of years of work, I've just produced my first Kindle book, F8 and Been There. ...you are the target audience, so I hope you enjoy it! Please use one of our affiliate links: Amazon US: http://www.amazon.com Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk ...and search by title. It should...

I thought I'd share a few of the landscapes/scenics I've taken on my travels over the last couple of weeks! 1. Glencoe!... needs no introduction! 2. Mirror Man in Loch Earn 3. Blackrock Cottage (cliche I know but I'd never taken the shot myself!) 4. Loch Goil Moonlight 5. Fidra...

A young lady stands examining a map in Lisbon. Well, it could be a map, or it could be a blackberry, apple or some other fruit-related electronic device. Anyway, she's lost. I think.
