I’m a semi retired living in the North East of England. I currently shoot with my Fuji XT2 but a lot of the images her were shot on film 35mm and 120. I have a number of cameras such as the Bronica ETRSI. My newest addition to the family is a DJI Mini 3 used for the aerial shots.

I don’t get the chance to travel much but I’m hoping to do so in full retirement. Most of our holidays are in Spain and my wife and I are hoping to retire to the Alicante region in a few years.

I’m also a qualified mountain leader meaning I get to spend a lot of time in the hills doing guided walks and

DofE expeditions. Some of the images below are shot on the hills.

I have a passion for black and white images but also love the colours that the Fiji XT2 produces. Those colour images can be seen on my other Flickr page by searching Brian Blades or on Instagram Classic Soft Focus although that collection is quite small as at April 2015.
