Urban Exploration
07 Apr 2016
I went down south to shoot a new feature for a local band. It was a trek and a long day, but I got to see one of the best sites I’ve ever been to, an old M.O.D training base, which has a rather eerie feel in some places.

London Sky Garden

Visited the Sky Garden in London on Friday 18th March, it was rather overcast to say the least. Always seems to be the case when I visit skyscrapers. Rather annoying after a beautiful week of sunshine and clear blue skies

Canon 8-15mm F/4L USM Fisheye Review with sample images
23 Feb 2016
Full frame fisheye lenses have always typically been primes.. then Canon came along with this beast and shook the market up. Coming in at £899 it’s not cheap by any means, especially for such a specialist lens. However, you get both 8 and 15mm in a single lens with the…

My most used lens as a working photographer
17 Sep 2015
Over the years I’ve built my kit up. Every lens purchase has been a very carefully thought out one, will it improve my ease of work? Give me something I don’t already have?Without a doubt my two favourite lenses are the 50mm 1.8 and the 100mm L macro. Both are…

SIGMA 8mm F3.5 EX DG Circular Fisheye REVIEW (with sample images)
07 Jul 2015
Over the years I’ve had the joy of using various lenses, but never a fisheye lens. I’m a sucker for the wide angles and short telephoto primes (aside from the gorgeous 400 2.8L… if only!) Circular fish eye lenses are great fun but a VERY specialised type of lens, which…

Canon 85mm f/1.8 USM Review w/ Sample Images
02 Oct 2014
Over the years Canon has produced some pretty fantastic prime lenses, no one can deny that. From the very affordable 50mm f/1.8 II to the much less affordable 85mm f/1.2 L, granted that is a fantastic piece of glass. I’m going to be looking at the much more affordable 85mm…
