I've been using the Wacom Intuos pro tablet for quite a while now so I thought I would share my views on it with you all. So what is a graphics tablet ? Should you use one ? Do you even need one ? Graphics tablets are simply a way for you to use a pen instead of a mouse or a track pad. They provide a far greater level of precision in your editing workflow and whilst they used to be for the sole use of graphic designers and digital artists they have found their way into the ha
I had a trip planned to Bosnia & Herzegovina in September but it wasn't going to be a landscape photography trip, more of a social visit but as we all know if the chance comes up to get in some photography then we would all take it. I wasn't going to take all my photography gear, I just wanted the absolute minimum so I could chuck it in a small ruck sack and be mobile and snatch an opportunity should it arise. The Canon EOS R was a perfect lightweight body to take, I was goin
Exciting times, One of my favourite companies, Lee Filters has released a brand new filter holder and polariser ! Being a bit of a Lee Filters fan boy I simply couldn't wait to get hold of one to put through its paces and try. Those of you who follow this blog know I always shoot with them and really don't have a bad word to say about them. The review I did of the Lee Filters Landscape Polariser will have left you in no doubt how much I liked the product and how much faith I
Having gone through a few different ball heads in my time I had started to look for something new as my old battered Manfrotto was showing not only its age but also its limits in terms of performance and what I wanted from a ball head. I have always put and incredible amount of emphasis on the need to have a good stable support system underneath your camera set up ever since my early days when getting home with what I thought were fantastic photographs only to be bitterly dis
Thanks for checking out my review of the brand new Kirk Enterprise Solutions L bracket for the new Canon EOS R. Now I'm sure most of you reading this will know what an L bracket is and what it's for but for those that don't I will explain. An L bracket replaces the mounting plate from your camera to tripod head and enables you to switch between portrait & landscape styles while still maintaining a balanced centre weight over the tripod head, Its also a very quick way to switc
Seeing as it's getting to that time of year again where it starts to get a bit chilly I thought I would do an honest and in depth review of the Berghaus Ben Oss Fleece. As I have said many times before I'm a bit of a Berghaus fan boy and I own around 7 of their jackets, several pairs of trouser and untold amounts of base layers and I really rate the gear they make but this will still be and honest review based around my findings. A little bit of background to Berghaus to star
Backpacks, lets face it they can be a bit of a minefield at the best of times. No one single backpack seems to accommodate all the features that I want and I have been through a fair few in my time. What do you really need out of a backpack ? Well, that could be a whole story in itself but for me there were a few factors that needed ticking and without them it just wouldn't do. I wanted to above all be able to carry my gear in a durable and robust backpack that was capable of
