14 Sep One Of These, Please….The Profoto B10
Okay, let's cut to the punchline straight away. I want one of these. If you are a photographer who shoots weddings, shows, portraits, fashion, or editorial, you want one - or two - as well. Stefan Gosatti does all these things and he's just had a...
13 Sep Nikon Photowalk – Part Three – Can You Dig It?
Can you dig the fun that there is in a patch of dirt and some flowering plants? Do you remember that we are part of nature...
12 Sep Steve Parish Is Just Playing At Photography – Part Two

06 Sep A Short Week – Part Four – The Ability To Zoom
The delight I took in the first part of the day with the prime lens - the Laowa 9mm f:2.8 - was matched in the latter half of the morning when I switched to the Fujinon XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS lens. The turnover point...
05 Sep A Short Week – Part Three – A Day Out At The Museum
When you were a kid, did you look forward to school outings? Or family holidays when you could go see things you'd never seen before? Did those outings include the occasional museum? Well if they did, and if you loved them as much as I...
