    Reuters banned from Pyeongchang opening

    Have we done a Reuters photographer getting them banned from the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony after they published images of the rehearsal? Oops. https://fstoppers.com/news/media-agency-reuters-banned-olympic-opening-ceremony-after-photo-leak-216659

    Kayaking - Upper Tees

    I was up in Teesdale at the weekend with the canoe club I coach, and took my Fuji X-T10 and 18-135mm with me (great setup, fits in a small Peli case and secures nicely in my kayak!) These three are from the Dog Leg rapid on the High Force to Low Force section of the Tees, up above Middleton in...

    A few recent shots from Cumbria

    My old home turf, faintly jealous as I'm now exiled to the wrong side of the Pennines! The Tewet Tarn and Blencathra shot is absolutely gorgeous.

    A Cold Splash

    It's a very nice take on it, Stuart, not an angle I've ever spotted. Slightly tangential but picking up on your comment: I think I said this in a discussion on editing somewhere else on the site: A lot of people (myself included) tend to start at an extreme and swing back, one of the common...

    Photo Editing - what's your view?

    Cup of tea and a Hobnob, while you're out please. Never been a fan of popcorn. I have said since I started shooting digital that "I want to take good pictures, not edit mediocre ones". I started saying that as a reaction to friends at Uni who bought DSLRs, shot mostly absolute rubbish, but...

    Adventure Racing - The Heb

    Thanks for the comments all. Thomas - would you have any suggestions regarding re-balancing #2? I appreciate, the ruin on the right throws it out a little. Unfortunately I was perched up on a slightly slippy rock to get the competitor's head separated from the sand/island boundary line! Part...

    Adventure Racing - The Heb

    Marketed as 'The Race on The Edge', The Heb is a two day, 200km multisport race around the Uists and Benbecula, way up in the Western Isles. I've been lucky enough to be there as a photographer the past two years, and it's an amazing location, but particularly prey to all the weather fronts...

    Kayaking - About to hit the hole

    Never got the little eddies in the middle, because I'm always hesitant about dropping into the stopper sideways. I've had a kicking in there more than once!

    You No Longer Need Expensive Lighting Kit!

    Shame it's in the Daily Mail, I have a policy of not giving any attention to that rag. Is there another version of the same article anywhere else?

    Film/negative scanners

    Thanks Steve - any yes, a £1700 old stock scanner wasn't anywhere on my shopping list, as good as it may be! I'll have a look at the PlusTek's then. Thanks for all the advice everyone.
