Climbing a mountain every New Year’s Day has gradually become a tradition. A mountain in the Mournes marks the start of a new year and a new chapter.

Back in the spring of 2011, I embarked on a photographic journey by purchasing the Fujifilm X100 camera along with a matching Fujifilm leather case. Little did I know that this would mark the beginning of a long-lasting bond with what has now become my favorite compact camera.

A 50mm lens, often referred to as a “nifty fifty,” offers some exiting advantages for photographers across a wide range of genres. My first ever camera was a Canon EOS with a little 50mm lens. It was an era when most photographers didn’t have access to arrays of lenses and zooms were reasonably rare. It was simple but the advantage was a focus on composition and creativity.

Over the last year I have simplified by photographer set up to three cameras. The Fujifilm X100V, the Fujifilm X100F and an old Fujica film camera. The X100 series has been by favourite camera since its launch in 2010 (see the Fujifilm X100 Photo Gallery). I’ve gone back to what attracted me to the X100 camera in the first place, simplicity. The X100 series is compact, light and easily carried around all day in comparison to a multi-lens system yet exceptionally versatile and powerful. Here are my must have Fujifilm X100V series accessories. 1.

One of those strange twists of fate. It was a cold January night out in London with Neil McCormick. It was snowing, but we were committed. All the way from sunny New Zealand to icy nights in Hackney, Neil Finn & family put on a display of musical togetherness to warm the cockles of the coldest heart. All photos captured with the Fujifilm X100F. Their two shows at EaRTH, a beautifully restored north-London venue, were joyous occasions that had the audience singing, laughing and generally basking in the warmth being generated from the stage.
