Nifty Fifty…

Posted on November 17, 2018 by Guthlac

Well I’ve gone all retro or retrograde – only time will tell.   I’ve just bought myself a 50mm f1.8 lens.   It is the first time I’ve owned such a creature for the best part of 40 years.   I took it … Continue reading →

Milestones and anniversaries seem to be coming thick and fast for me at the moment.   Yesterday I celebrated my first 10k images taken with my Sony A7 Mk2.   Not much of a milestone I guess but not bad going since … Continue reading →

Posted on November 5, 2018 by Guthlac

Let me take you down…

Continuing a theme…

Posted on October 26, 2018 by Guthlac

The declining ebb before the plunge…

Posted on October 25, 2018 by Guthlac

A good dollop of RAM…

Posted on September 26, 2018 by Guthlac
