When it comes to film, I have a pretty simple palette. My ‘go-to’ film of choice has always been Portra 400. Recently, I’ve had a brief love affair with Fuji Pro 400H but falling in love with a discontinued film is a bad idea!

To say that 2022 has been an odd year would be a bit of understatement. Everybody knows that the last few years have been a challenge. The 2020 Pandemic ruined lives, businesses and the economy and things were not too much rosier in 2021! So I think we were all hoping that 2022 might finally be the year where things felt a bit more normal.

As the year comes to an end, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at some of my favourite cameras that I have used in the last 12 months. I use a camera every day for work, but I also take a huge amount of pleasure from just picking up a camera and going for a walk.

The purpose of a small, compact camera is that it can go everywhere with and the X10 makes for a great companion. So would I recommend it, absolutely. I think as long as you have the patience to use it, the know how to work with the camera to get the best results and modest expectations for the final output, then this is a dream of a camera.

I'm not going to justify this camera as anything other than a very, very expensive indulgence. For the same money I could buy a modern offering from Canon or Sony that would blow the M8 out of the water in every single department. But that's no the point here.

I have been in the market for a small, lightweight tripod for some time now and after trying a few different options, nothing seemed to be working for me. So when I received an email completely out of the blue, from K&F Concept asking if i would like to try one of their tripods, I jumped at the chance!

Another week and another rooftop with spectacular views over Birmingham! I was incredibly lucky to be invited to grab some shots from the roof of House of Fraser, one of Birmingham’s most recognisable buildings. As if this wasn’t good enough, it also meant that I would be taking in some pretty special views of ‘Christmas in Cathedral Square’ - Birmingham’s Independent Christmas Market at St Philip’s Cathedral.

It’s not everyday that you get asked if you would like to take photos from a building with some of the best views in Birmingham! So when the awesome people at Staying Cool at the Rotunda reached out to me, I jumped at the chance! In truth, I’ve shot from here a few times in the past but the opportunity was too good to turn down.

Today I went to photograph the demolition of Rugeley Power Station and it didn’t end well for me or the power station! I’ve never actually witnessed a demolition like this before so when I read about it in the local news, I was excited to make the short trip from Birmingham to Rugeley to witness the spectacle!
Read MoreIf you’re anything like me, you love cameras! If you have an interest in Photography then you more than likely enjoy looking at and holding cameras, well at least I do… It recently struck me (after finally receiving a couple of my late night eBay purchases in the post!) that I had covered all the major bases with my camera collection so thought it would be fun to share them and to see if you think I’ve got it right, or I should sell up and start again!
