This photo was taken today. It’s rare I take my Nikon D3 out on a dog walk. I’d love the D3s as it shoots video as well as stills. I can but dream. There are more photos in my Flickr stream @Dogmentally is on twitter but doesn’t tweet.
Getting the most from your camera phone

(Me snapping Nick Clegg in a taxi – photo by @Kate_Day) The first cameraphones were little more than a gimmick, then we wanted quality. Then it seemed quality was put on hold in order that we could share out images far and wide. We are now starting to see phones being built into cameras and [...]

I was taking photographs when I heard the news. It’s hit me hard. If I type I cant cry. So I am typing. I feel like I’ve lost my father. Again. Worse this time. This person I knew. I have just answered the phone to a shaky voice telling me a good friend of mine [...]

A field full of violent people, small kegs of beer called ‘bottles’ and man with a rabbit on a stick were also mentioned. How could I not go? They [...]

Nikon D90 video test.
October 10, 2008 by · 13 Comments
The D90 is Nikon’s latest mid range consumer DSLR. It does everything a good Nikon does and brings relief to my shoulder that normally carries the weight of a D3. Although compact compared to other 12.3 Megapixel DSLR’s it has most of the guts of the D300. It’s a DX format sensor and shoots up [...]

After the UK Home Secretary’s recent statement green-lighting the harassment of photographers in public places, could it already be too late for us to reverse the attitudes of certain members of the law enforcement agencies and the general public? At the bottom of this post are a few links to tales of photographic woe and [...]
