Some images from the Basingstoke Landscape SIG (Special Interest Groups) I run, one of the many other SIG events with the Basingstoke Camera Club. Farleigh Wallop was the location. Nikon D3S 24-70 mm 2.8 and 200-500mm 5.6 and LUMIX GX8 with 12-35mm 2.8. Enjoy. Note the group photos I never took but thanks to the group member who evidenced the evening.

Is leadership about one great leader, or a chain of leaders working together?

In this latest article, I explore why successful organisations don't depend on individual brilliance but on strong leadership at every level. Discover how leadership scales through an organisation, where leadership chains break, and why developing future leaders is essential for long-term success.

Is your lens's sweet spot really just about sharpness?

In this latest article, I explore why the sweet spot is more about understanding your lens's behaviour and making creative choices than chasing technical perfection. From diffraction and micro contrast to real-world landscapes and portraits, discover when sharpness matters, and when it doesn't.

Check out the latest blog post on Pushing and Pulling Film over at Peter Farrar Books. Understanding How Push and Pull Techniques Redefine Film’s Tonal Behaviour.

If you shoot film, or you are curious about how push and pull processing can dramatically alter contrast, grain, mood, and exposure latitude, this post dives deep into both the creative and technical side of the process.

Read the post and leave a comment. Discussion is always welcome. More articles are on the way, so if there is a photography or film topic you would like covered next, let me know in the comments and I will make it part of an upcoming post.

Happy Monday all, and keep snapping. 📷
