Mooching around in London with the Fuji X-T1

ByRichard Howman

After finally outsourcing my wedding post production, I had some time available to at last indulge myself with the Fuji X-T1 and a day out at Christmas time in London with my better half, Heidi.

Comparing Film and Digital Photography

ByRichard Howman

I’ve been experimenting and comparing film and digital photographs recently. It’s been many years since I photographed with film, having trained on it long before professional digital cameras even existed, but digital photography reigns supreme in my work so I wanted to get back to basics and see if I could re-awaken the craft of making film…

Photographing the Milky Way in the UK Are we alone in the universe? I ask myself this every time I look to the sky at night. I visited my Dad and Step Mum on Tuesday evening and when it was time to go I noticed the most amazingly clear stars. After a few minutes…

Testing Film against Digital… the trial continues!

ByRichard Howman

It was a lovely morning for walking Apache in Greyfield Woods. I’m still running my film vs. digital comparisons, so as soon as the film has been developed and scanned I’ll post some side by sides’ here. At the moment it’s just the Nikon F2 vs D750 (on Portra 400). Here’s Heidi… don’t ask me…
