I'm tired of 3:2 aspect ratios that my digital cameras have. I much prefer a 4:3, 5:4 or 7:6 (squarer) view of things. I'm planning to use a Pentax 6X7 for a different experience, which I hope to share.

Many thanks for looking here and your comments are always welcome

Just looking back along the Trent and Mersey canal in Derbyshire on a winter's afternoon. Wouldn't have said no to a bit of that mist on the fields drifting over the water, but can't have everything!

Life is a crushing blow

A giant cloud - emission from a power station - overshadows the landscape. I took this at Fairburn Ings RSPB reserve, South Yorkshire, from where it was visible

My favourite tree :D

Split Tone is an editing technique where the shadows are toned one color, and the highlights a second color. Split toning is often used with color grading in the media to give a scene a desired look and feel.
