The afternoon light was glorious and this tree-lined footpath and dappled light made for an interesting composition.

Welsh Poppies

I love these delicate flowers. They brighten up any space in the garden or the wild. The petals of this one look like a dancers skirt blowing in the breeze. Once again the iPhone camera does a brilliant job of capturing the subtle detail and the depth of field is good too.

Camera Wars Part 1: Nikon FE vs Canon AE-1 vs Zenit TTL.

Once upon a time I only had 4 film cameras, but then... Until recently the only analogue cameras I owned were my Praktica Nova 1, an Olympus Trip 35, an Olympus mju-1 and my dad’s vintage Mayfair box camera. All, apart from the mju-1, have been with me for over 40 years and until recently have remained largely unused for the last 30 or so.

In the Lake District you are spoilt for choice, it is such a beautiful place for photography. I looked through my cameras and decided that I needed to travel light as I would be doing a fair amount of walking but also needed the flexibility of both digital and film cameras. After an ‘agonising’ struggle I settled on the following: My new Canon EOS R100 with the 18-45mm kit lens. Small and lightweight. At just 356g, this is one of the lightest interchangeable lens cameras around. The EOS R100 is a stripped-back version of Canon
