My photographs I suppose would fall into the broad category of nature photography, but with a twist. I call it “serendipitous rambling,” and it was particularly useful during a pandemic when I was hobbled by Achilles tendonitis, especially at the outset.

Up Hele Aa involves a series of marches and visitations, culminating in a torch-lit procession and the burning of a galley. The following Wednesday is a public holiday in Lerwick to […]

Hating Lightroom. Hoping Luminar’s next release is mainstream usable. Still having issues with ON1 RAW’s blowsy attitude. Wanting RAW Power to get yet more traction. Thinking Capture 1 V12 might be the tipping point. It’s Sunday afternoon. I’m printing, or at least trying my best. Mirage’s software […]
