Let's Connect
For April’s Lensbaby blog circle post I had a lovely wander on the moors above Bolton with my Dad. I had taken the Burnside 35 and both of Velvet lenses with me, I still feel more naturally drawn to the longer focal length of the Velvet 85 but the wider view of the Burnside came […]

This year I’ve found myself shooting less and less indoor still life, not because I’ve lost interest or feel uninspired but simply because it requires a lot of effort! My usual shooting space is in the living room, I’ve a large window and great light but each time I want to shoot something I need […]

What a difference a month makes! For February’s Lensbaby Blog Circle Post the end of the month was fast approaching and I was in a bit of flap that I’d had shot nothing for the post and didn’t have much time. For the March post I shot my images on the first day of the […]
If you are anything like me once the first signs of spring arrive you can’t wait to get out with the camera and visit some gardens. But if daffodils aren’t your thing and it’s too early for tulips you may well find yourself thinking there won’t be anything to shoot. There is always something interesting […]
Anyone else struggling to accept that we are already at the end of February? I honestly can’t believe how quickly this month has flown by, yesterday saw me in a panic that we only had two days left of the month and it seemed highly likely that I wouldn’t have a post ready for the […]

Those lovely Lensbaby people kindly sent me a Burnside 35 lens to try out ahead of it’s official launch and I’m very excited to share my thoughts and first impressions, I’ve had the lens for a week or two and have been dying to share some of the images! So what is the Burnside 35? […]
If you’ve read this post you will already know that the guys at Lensbaby sent me a Lensbaby Burnside 35 to try out ahead of it’s launch. I’ve had it for a week or two but it’s co-incided with a busy period so I’ve only had a couple of opportunities to shoot with it. Here […]

If you follow my blog you’ll know that each year I like to set myself a theme. I’m not good at sticking to projects that need a certain sort of image in a set time frame, but a loose theme for a year really helps my creativity and if ever I’m stuck for ideas it gives me […]
A few weeks before Christmas those lovely people at Lensbaby sent me the Sweet 80 to try. Unfortunately life, Christmas, and the British winter weather have all got in the way and conspired to make sure I’ve had little opportunity to use it! I certainly haven’t used it enough to be able to give any […]
2017 is another year that has absolutely flown by! I’m hoping I’m not alone in feeling that and that it’s not a sign of getting older!! It’s now that lovely lull between Christmas and New Year where we all start to think about our goals and challenges for 2018. My own personal challenge for 2017 […]
