Mood
An attempt to capture the mood of the sky at around sunset. I actually took this last year. See what you think.
Pots Calling Kettles Black
As you may imagine, Italy is suffering from a minor bout of election fever at the moment. The general elections are just around the corner and election posters are appearing right, left, and centre. I’ve seen a couple of amusing ones, so far. First there was this lovely one from the Berlusco-Fini duo which, much […]
A Photographic Thought
Don’t you just love that ‘bokeh’ blurry background effect that photographers get? I do, not all the time, but used appropriately, it can create really memorable images.

If I ever find myself with enough of the vulgar stuff
I’d buy Di Mackey a Canon EOS 1D Mark III, and I’d get Gege Bau a Leica M8. I’m pretty sure both of these people would put these excellent cameras to very good use. Now, all I have to do is get round to accumulating enough of the vulgar stuff. But I would not advise […]
First nine months with a dSLR
I’ve now had my Canon EOS 400d for around nine months, so I’ve decided to write a little about my dSLR experience so far. First of all, let me just say that I have not managed to dedicate a huge amount of time to my first foray into ‘real’ photography, although, having said that, I […]
Experimental Night Photos
If you would like to have a look at some of the shots I took last night, then please pop on over to my Flickr collection. Just click here: Milan by Night I don’t mind if anyone borrows these photos, if they think they are worth borrowing, that is, but I would appreciate some credit. […]
