A quick trip back to Sorrento
A few months ago I posted a handful of images of a bunch of Sorrento pensioners playing cards and having fun. At the same time, I started putting a short video together – or rather an audio slideshow – featuring the same images, but with some music. Fast forward four months – and voila! I [...]

Vimeo relaunches with new features
Vimeo, the video-sharing site that’s not YouTube, revealed a new look today and a whole list of new features and updates. The first thing you notice is that all videos are now big and looking lovely. It’s like switching from Flickr to 500px, if you know what I mean. I like it. In a move [...]
You wait for a bus…
I enjoyed last week. I filmed an amazing photographer in his studio, got a yes from an exceptional man, whose achievements I want to (and now will) film and share with the world. I also saw one of my images – the one above – displayed in the Transport Museum in London’s Covent Garden [...]
The miniature world of London commuters
During my visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden last Friday I spent some time photographing the fascinating world of miniature tube stations and tiny commuters. It all looks rather eerily empty and Alien-like, although if my commute every day was that comfortable, I really wouldn’t mind. See the whole gallery below (may [...]

Some sound advice
I took this picture recently in an old recording studio in London, now converted into an indoor cycling/fitness facility. Current owners of the space have rescued one of those ancient audio editing machines – and I love them for it. I used Studers like this when, almost 20 years ago, as a fresh radio reporter [...]
LCDVF: an entry-level viewfinder for DSLR film-makers
I hardly ever do product reviews and don’t intend to change that now. But if you’re using your DSLR to shoot video, and haven’t invested in a viewfinder, you might find this post useful. As you no doubt know already, focusing using the 3-inch (or smaller) LCD screen at the back of your camera is [...]
Time for a refresh
You may have noticed that this site has changed a bit recently. I’ve decided to make my images more prominent, something I should have done long time ago. The blog stays as it was, I’ve just added new galleries using the Photocrati template. The previous galleries were frankly a bit pathetic. The new template is [...]
Google+ gets a new lightbox
Yeah, eat this, Facebook. Oh, and Flickr: keep looking on, with your hands in your pockets. This does help, sure. New features include: – full-screen photos – improved layout – better tagging – new look and feel If you’re not on Google+, you’re probably laughing now, after all “nobody uses Google+”. Allegedly. But if you [...]
Hampshire frozen in time (capsule)
A few weeks ago I mentioned that the New York Times had chosen a picture I took at the beginning of November during a weekend away in Petersfield, Hampshire to promote their “A world at 7 billion” project on their Facebook page. The paper wanted to create a time capsule for those who were born around the [...]
What the new Canon C300 can do
I honestly cannot believe the Canon 5D Mark II has been around for three years already. What a camera. The impact it’s had on photography – and videography – is immense. And while it’s not cheap, it’s likely to remain the king (queen?) of full-frame HDSLRs for a while. Unless you’ve participated in the 17-month [...]
