You may have used a UV filter before, you may have not. If you come from the film world you will definitely be familiar with their use. These pieces of glass reduce the amount of ultraviolet light entering the camera which would in the film world, result in better colours. Modern digital cameras just aren’t as susceptible to issues with UV light. So why would you use one? Well, they can have a second important purpose. Protection. You’ve invested your […]
I’m sure I’m not alone in having a huge archive of photographs. Sometimes I like to dip back into the archive and see how my photography has changed/improved (hopefully!) over the years. It’s interesting to go back and re-edit old photographs to see if you can re-imagine them. On a visit to Bath in 2015 I stumbled across a wonderful stone stairwell that was spilling light out onto the dark riverside. My original image was of course Black and White, […]
To compliment the recent review of the K&F Concept TM2515T Tripod, K&F asked if I would try out their K&F Fashion DSLR Camera Travel Backpack. The backpack is very compact but still manages to have plenty of pockets, nets, and compartments. The main camera equipment compartment is accessible through a double-zip panel on the inside of the pack (great for that extra bit of security). Inside the double-zip pocket you find the customary camera and lens pockets. All of […]
Seeing as i’m a huge fan of their filters, K&F Concept were kind enough to send me their TM2515T DSLR Camera Tripod Monopod Kit 60inch to take out for a test run. For a very long time (many years), I’ve been the proud owner of a Manfrotto tripod, it’s a sturdy number but weighs a ton and is far too big to attach to a backpack so I have to carry it around using a sling. Imagine your full camera […]
I’ve just taken delivery of the K&F Concept Soft Graduated Neutral Density GND8 3 f-stop Filter 100*150mm I was greatly anticipating it’s arrival as it should be the perfect accompaniment to my K&F Concept ND1000. Up till now I’ve been using a very cheap, resin 100x150mm grad to deal with the sky in my landscape photography. So let’s take a look at the package. The filter comes packaged in a very sturdy, and very professional looking card box lined with […]
For a very long time I’ve been using a Tiffen 77mm circular ND1000 filter for my long exposure photography. As you probably all know I’m predominately a black and white photographer, with this in mind, colour cast has never been a big issue for me. Lately though I’ve been straying into colour photography territory far more often and problems have arisen! The Tiffen 77mm has a very prominent magenta colour cast, and I’ve struggled with removing it in Lightroom during […]

In 2017 I had the pleasure of working with Maple Sunscreening to photograph the amazing brise soleil ‘fins’ for the award-winning Oastler Building at the University of Huddersfield.
