Lovely shot that last one John!

This one was purely an experiment. It's not a great photo at all… compositionally it's appalling. However, that sky!

Re: Photos you have taken in the last month of which you lik

I got my pre-ordered iPhone 7 though on friday, so this is one of the test shots I took on the weekend.

This was shot in RAW on the phone using the Lightroom app, and then processed in Lightroom all on the phone.

I had a rather small and unexpected window to shoot rather good sky last week. The clouds in the shot will give you an idea of just how small a window it was, but here's my latest:

Re: Off topic: A BearBones lifestyle and minimalism.

I believe that most of us do actually like 'stuff' or more correctly, we believe we do ... the reality is that we enjoy the choosing and buying of 'stuff' more than the stuff itself. Once the initial buzz has subsided, we start the process over and ultimately end up with piles of hardly used junk. ...

Re: Off topic: A BearBones lifestyle and minimalism.

I've come to realise a few things over this summer, but I better give some context first. Out of uni I got a job (within a few days) in Plymouth. As a result of this I never really got a post-uni break. I moved into my flat and for two years kept working and kept saving with the idea of going on a b...

Another one from Scotland! Six images in this panorama.

For those who don't know the area well, you're looking at Ben Nevis from Meall an t-Suidhe. Think I'm going to have to get myself a print done of this one!
