It’s all well and good having a 36 megapixel camera but unless you have the processing power and bandwidth with which to edit and upload, you’re going to spend more time fiddling with your photos on a screen than actually taking them. The above image what shot in an allotment with the Nikon D800 set [...]
I find neck straps really uncomfortable with any size of camera. I guess thats why I like the Black Rapid sling type straps. All my Nikon pro SLRs are equipped with Black Rapid straps & I could never go back to the old traditional neck straps now. Also the SnapR20from black rapid has been good [...]
This short video was snatched as I was leaving the studio of Steve Lockwood (Harmonica master). The camera was set to manual focus and I tapped the AF/AE button on Steve’s face in the bright doorway which will explain why it’s a little overexposed. I’m not too fussed with the lighting as I was more interested [...]
While visiting friends in the village of Belton, Leicestershire, I experienced a street party … I took photos on my FujiFilm X100. It’s super discreet and having the fixed lens makes you work that little bit harder to get in close while all the time allowing you to really get to know the focal length. [...]
I’m loving the Fujifilm X100 for image making. It has a great sized sensor in a beautifully well made, retro-styled body. It does have its issues though. It is sluggish when taking multiple raw photos and its manual focusing is fiddly. They are not really issues that concern my use though, and I feel most [...]

If they put film in their cameras it presupposes that they want to record what they see and show somebody else. Photography is about communication. - David Hurn On Being a Photographer : A Practical Guide, ISBN: 1888803061 [...]

Also make sure you follow @PHNAT on twitter and join the Facebook group Your Rights As A Photographer In The UK If you are stopped and searched under section 44 of the Terrorism [...]
Back in the 90′s I traveled for a good many countries with a Canon Ixus. Great optics but as it was an APS camera it was next to useless. Expensive film processing and a format that although compact, didn’t survive. My first hands on look at what Canon are are doing now with their Ixus [...]
My friend Phil wrote to me from Kirkuk, he’s researching this story on the Arab-Kurd situation. It’s slow going, but he summarises it all with one sentence. No one wants to compromise, there’s a low level war already underway and things could get more dangerous in a year or two. All sort of grim. For [...]
