I'm a huge fan of using telephoto lenses for my landscape photography, and I've been curious about the XF100-400mm for a long time, so I took it with me on a recent trip to Iceland, along with the 2x teleconverter, to see what it was like to use in the field.
Read MoreLast month I was in Iceland for a workshop and had the the opportunity to head out to the volcanic eruption of Fagradalsfjall at Geldingadalur. We were lucky that the volcano was active during the time when we were there, and it was just an incredible experience to witness it. In this video I look at my thoughts and considerations in the field, and in the second part of the video go over my editing process for one of the abstract images I captured of the lava flows there.
Read MoreI’ll be heading to Norway at the end of the month for a week’s photography in Senja. We’ll be camping out in the mountains so packing involves taking photography gear as well as stuff for camping and eating. I’ll be trying to keep the pack as light as possible while making sure my gear covers all my needs as well as providing a comfortable sleep. Here’s a look at what I’ll be taking with me
Read MoreI’ve been using the X-E4 for a couple of weeks shooting around my local streets and here's a look at how I feel about Fuji's latest camera. This isn’t an in-depth review of all the camera's details and features or a technical break down of image quality or a comparison with other cameras. Instead, it’s an overview of how the X-E4 feels to shoot with and what it brings as an update to the X-E3 or alternative to the X-Pro 3

Read MoreIn this video I look at how we can use a few simple elements in the landscape to create minimal compositions which capture the mood of a scene.
Read MoreFuji's best lens for landscape shooters just received an update. In this video I take a practical look a the lens from the point of view of a landscape photographer and compare it with the original versions, which was the very first lens I bought when I switched to the Fuji system 5 years ago.
Read MoreWith the lockdown still keeping me at home I thought I’d make a video about the different kinds of filters for landscape photography, giving an overview of what they are useful for as well as some tips on how to use them.
Read MoreFor this video I look at some of the considerations in the field when composing and shooting telephoto landscapes in the mountains, and then go through the editing workflow of one of my most popular images from last year, taken on a misty sunrise in the Dolomites
Read MoreI’ve been using the Fuji X-S10 for about a week now. This isn’t an in-depth review of all the cameras details and features or a technical break down image quality or a comparison with other cameras. Instead, it’s an overview of how the X-S10 compares with the X-T4 and X-T30 for shooting landscapes and video.
Read MoreI love using a wide angle lens for landscape photography, and in this video I look at why they work so well, and some of the characteristics of these kinds of lenses that we need to be aware of.
Read MoreThis is the second video from my trip to Iceland this year. This part was filmed in the some lesser known ice caves in the Highlands, and a shipwreck on the south coast. Like my previous videos I go through the thought process behind some of the images and explain some of the locations.
Read MoreI’ve been using the X-T4 for a little over a month now, and while I haven’t been able to get out and do some serious landscape photography with it, I’ve been able to use it around my home city of Lisbon and shoot some videos with it, so in this video I have a look at how good the camera is and what the essential differences are between it and the X-T3
Read MoreThis is the first video from my trip to Iceland this year. This was filmed in the Highlands, a part of Iceland that's difficult to access in winter. Like my previous videos I go through the thought process behind some of the images and explain some of the locations.
Read MoreWith the lockdown keeping me at home I thought I’d do this year’s video going over what I take with me on a photography trip…not just in my camera bag, but my luggage too. My philosophy is to travel light and try to refine my kit down to just taking what I’m going to need and use, and it’s constantly evolving around film making needs and finding new ways to take less stuff.
Read MoreThis is the first video from my recent Lofoten in Winter workshop. Like my previous videos from the Dolomites is used an iPhone and a DJI Osmo 3 gimbal to record behind the scenes of my recent workshop there, explaining some of the locations and outlining the thought process behind some of the images.
Read MoreThis is the second video from my recent Dolomites in Winter workshop. I thought it would be interesting to shoot some video during the workshops and then to analyse some of the images that I shot while in the field, and as I wanted to shoot as spontaneously and discretely as possible most of the footage was shot with an iPhone 11 and a DJI Osmo Mobile 3.
Read MoreAt this time of year I spend a lot of time travelling and leading workshops, and in the past I've not filmed videos during the workshops, but this year I thought it would be interesting to shoot some video during the workshops and then to analyse some of the images that I shot while in the field.
