New featured gallery – Digbeth Instameet
This week’s featured gallery contains images that were taken during a walk around Digbeth, Birmingham with the @igersbirmingham group.
The weather was not too good but some interesting images were captured, particularly the street art that this very prevalent in the area.
New featured gallery – Spain and Gibraltar
This week’s featured gallery contains images that were taken during a family holiday to Southern Spain and Gibraltar.
These images were all taken using an iPhone 6s. Some are directly from the camera and some are processed to a greater or lesser degree.
New featured gallery – Birmingham
This week’s featured gallery contains images that were taken during a walk around Birmingham. This was not specifically a photography walk as I had my wife with me but I did have my trusty Fujifilm x20 around my neck.
The x20 is my favourite camera for street photography. It as a manual zoom lens that I normally leave set to 35mm when not taking a specific shot. As the camera is always set to 35mm and around my neck I can judge what will be in the frame and some of the shots in the gallery (the barbers shop for example) were taken without lifting the camera to look at the screen or through the viewfinder.
This “from the hip” type shooting is a valuable skill for a screen photographer.

As well as blog posts I intend to have a featured gallery which will be updated regularly. This gallery will showcase my latest photographs in greater depth than on Instagram.
