Now is Imbolc here…
The eightfold year is a decent enough model in which to build a cycle of celebratory ritual, but it doesn’t have to require the strictest adherence to the calendar… For me, at least, there are little markers and pointers; indications that the time has come. For Imbolc and for spring in general, to me that…

From Canon to Sony : Lenses
The move from one camera system to another comes not without some trepidation. It’s not the investment in camera bodies – they start out expensive and rapidly decrease in value. The lenses however generally retain or even enhance their value. I have shot Canon for a long time, so there are a fair few decent…

Photography is changing…
This is really a blog post for me. It’s going to get updated as and when I feel like it. Read, and comment as you please. I suspect it will get picked up in Google searches on this theme… I’ve made the leap, and possibly into interminable darkness. After many years of being a loyal…

Arsenal (not the team) Pt 3
I can see, amongst the barely noticed pages of my irregular blog, that there’s been a fair bit of interest in my articles on the Arsenal AI camera add-on. Ok, so it’s probably time to admit how little I’m using it, but how useful it is being when I do. To recap, the Arsenal was…

Mac week one

Being second best…
It’s not so bad, really, being second best. I used to be number one photographer in the house, but although I’ve won a couple of minor competitions I’ve never yet had to go and collect my award… Charlotte has. Congratulations to miss, who won the District 1100 Seniors section of the Rotary Club Young Photographer Competition 2012.…

Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT Flashgun
Well I guessed about three months ago we were due for a new Canon flash, and wanting to upgrade my old 220EX I held off buying the 580EX II… but the announcement today that the flash is listed at £680 makes me realise I quite like my old flash. I’ll wait and see what the…

After SOPA… ACTA… and other copyright issues
So, following my post about SOPA but obviously in no way because of it, SOPA has been shelved… for now. And almost immediately we are presented with ACTA. If at first you don’t succeed, simply re-package and re-present until the dissenters are too tired and confused to retaliate. The Anti-Copyright Theft Act is potentially even more damaging…

So… 2012 then…
I notice so many pagan folk bemoaning the celebration of new year. Not our new year… ours is at Samhain. And I mostly share that view too; if one has to find a start/stop point on an ever-turning wheel… but culturally we are tied to the landscape we inhabit, which is predominantly Christian. And so as well…
