Why I Photograph the British Countryside in Black and White
A UK black and white landscape photographer's perspective on why the Chiltern Hills — quiet, understated, and full of human intervention — make for more honest and rewarding photography than any mountain summit ever could.
Sony A350 Revisited
Picking up the Sony A350 again has been like reopening an old chapter I didn’t realise I’d missed. My first digital DSLR after my film days, it brings back the joy of using a simple, stills-only camera — chunky, tactile, with a CCD sensor that gives black-and-white images real character. Slower walks, everyday routes, and a quiet rhythm of photography suit it perfectly. No expectations, no pressure — just a camera that lets me enjoy shooting again.
