My First Digital Leica
Fifteen months ago I finally succumbed to to the allure of a digital Leica M. As a long-term Leica film MP and iiif and, more latterly, an ‘O’ Serie Oskar Barnack replica photographer I’m no stranger to Leica cameras but Leica’s digital M’s have held little appeal to me until they released the M10.

Ondu Rise 4×5 pinhole camera
I’ve been enjoying using an Ondu Rise 4×5″ pinhole camera for a few months. Ondu pinhole cameras are available in a number of film format options and are beautifully crafted from wood. Photography in such a simple form is liberating and the resulting images have a unique antiquated and dreamy ‘look’ that can only be achieved by using a pinhole camera.
If you’re interested in pinhole photography I’ve posted ..read more

Leica M10-R Black Paint
A year ago I bought my first digital Leica M camera, a Leica M10-R Black Paint version and I’ve used it just about every day in the time I’ve had it so far. I’d held off from buying any digital Leica M for a couple of reasons, I’ve been a committed Leica MP film camera user for the past 16 years at the time of writing this and there always seemed to be something not quite the same with Leica M digital came ..read more

Exploring Magpie Mine
Magpie Mine in the Peak District is a disused lead mine, one of five on the site which is enclosed by a stone wall.

It was the last working lead mine in Derbyshire, an industry in the area that dates back to Roman times.
I’ve visited the site numerous times over the years, it’s an inter ..read more
