X-T1 back from Fuji with new Sensor and faux leather covering. Couldn't wrangle a new LCD out of them sadly (it is only a tiny scratch after all!). Here's to another 8 years of abuse!

Nuts. Guess I better get it off to Fuji then. It could use a little tune up in other areas too I suppose, it has had 7 years of hard work! I think I'd cry if I had a GFX fall like that! I was grumpy enough when my X-T2 temporarily decided it wouldn't play ball on a trip to York!

Having a weird issue with my X-T1, may be connected to the bump it got a few weeks back though I can't see how. Basically I have what appears to be a dust bunny, but no matter how much I clean the sensor, it does not go away. I can't even see it on the sensor even with the aid of my 50mm macro...

They messaged me yesterday to say they'd received it, fingers crossed it won't be with them long. Looks an easy repair, as long as it's just the plastic ring that's bust and nothing else inside. FIngers crossed.

Oops. Tripod fell over, landed on L bracket, no damage to body bar a teeny scratch to lcd but 16-55mm mount snapped at the bosses the screws go into. Going off to Fiji ASAP.

Perhaps we could refer to it as the Monet effect? I'm sure my eyesight is a factor in my photography, more and more I'm finding that the viewfinder of a camera is simply not large enough to allow me to clearly see my composition and work out what I'm doing, such that when I actually view it on a...

Been wanting to get back to High Contrast B&W for a while, this seemed a good candidate (taken at work) Sisters by Alan Jones, on Flickr

Also a Hermes hater here. Absolutely useless for sending and receiving. Not even cheap for most things: 2Kg with Hermes which may get there some time in the next 2 weeks - £5.80. Royal Mail1t class probably there next day, £5.47. 500g large letter., Hermes cheapest £2.66 - RM 1st class £2.39...

The educational part is that it was purely made up by the London & North Western Railway as a tourist attraction in the 1840s. The village is historically only Pwllgwyngyll and the parish is Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll.

Black and white had been my intention for the day, I've got the picture in my head but there just wasn't the contrast to make it work, plus with all the cluttering stones making it very busy. I will be keeping my eye out for more favourable conditions to get it.

Jumping the 40mph bandwagon, this baffles me every time: The village of Pentrefelin on the main road between Porthmadog and Criccieth has 40mph limits at either end of the 30. When driving towards Criccieth, no problem - NSL down to 40 down to 30. But coming the other way EVERY driver I've...

Autumn is kicking in nicely there, still very green down here!

These are only revealed at super low tide and even that is dependant on the shifting sands. I was tipped off by another photographer on Facebook that they were currently visible so made a couple of early morning walks across the bridge which fortuitously coincided with sunrise, and just in time...

How do the ads here work? Back in the day I recall various schemes that were pay per click effectively, so just having an ad visible on your site didn't net you any income at all, it actually had to be used.

Groyne, Y Bermo by Alan Jones, on Flickr Went to the beach to capture something else, but tide was against it. Snapped this as I was leaving which I quite like although it's a bit boring.
