Sketching with my iPhone. Part 1.

The Mansion House, Calderstones Park, Liverpool. iPhone SE 2nd Gen. Living in a city has many advantages but it's good to get away from the built environment and into nature. The problem is often one of time. So, when I do have a little time for a brief break away from the everyday, I enjoy walking in my local parks. A few are close to where I live and that means even when time is tight I can spend some of it in a more natural setting. For this post I have chosen Calderstones Park . Home of The Reader Organisation. Window self-portrait in the rain I find that I need to make photographs. It helps me to relax and unwind. You can lose yourself in the process and for a brief moment forget everything else apart from the task in hand. Usually I will pack a camera. Often I’ll take a digital camera but more recently a film camera too but sometimes if I want to travel light I simply use the camera I always have with me - my phone - iPhone SE (2nd gen) . This phone may be bottom of the ra

Fuji X100f vs iPhone SE20

I use a variety of cameras to make photographs, mainly Canon and Fuji, but also more recently I have experimented with an iPhone SE20. Although this phone is the cheapest current iPhones on the market I have been surprised at the quality of the photographs I could make with it. I wanted to really put the cameraphone the test so armed with my Fujifilm X100f, a fixed lens mirrorless camera with an APS-C sensor and my iPhone SE20, 12MP sensor with Apple's latest A13 Bionic Chip, I walked to the ruined orangery at Allerton Tower which I thought would make an interesting subject for the experiment. The light was pretty constant, bright and sunny. I stood in the same spot and shot images with both cameras in monochrome. A small amount of post-processing was done in Apple Photos and Affinity Photo, mainly to bring out a little more detail in the shadows but little else. The results were interesting (to me at least). Both Phone and Camera made good photographs with similar results. At 100

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. Then, after posting a few photographs I made using the Trip 35 on Twitter (as it used to be known), I began following the #believeinfilm community and in a short time felt the ‘need’ to acquire a better 35mm film camera. Well, this is the story of how I ended up with not just one, but three such cameras! Please note before you read any further... I should add here that I am not a professional photographer. Any opinions I may have are my own and based on my personal experience as an amateur photographer who has, more recently fallen in love with film photography. I do use digital cameras and my iPhone but the film experience is, at least for me, ver
