Remembrance Sunday is a national opportunity to remember the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

Another budget film camera in the shape of the 1992 Fuji DL-190 Zoom. A fully automatic 35mm point and shoot camera that can be purchased for around £20. Although I only paid £2 for mine. The “DL” refers to “Drop-In Loading” which is something I have not shown before. A feature that makes loading DX
Sometimes, a walk into the woods is all you need. Whatever the weather, there is something primeval and regenerative about woodland spaces. The sights, the sounds and the smells, all combine to make us feel something positive. This Featured Image is one I took whilst on a walk in the Wyre Forest on a wet
I thought it might be useful to write a Lightroom Introduction and film it over several episodes. Adobe Lightroom is a leader in photographic management and post production.

CreatorHub is the place to be…If you’re a creator anyway. One of the biggest challenges faced by anyone who creates content on the web, is getting noticed. It’s a little like Catch 22. You need to be popular to be seen, but need to be seen to become popular. When I started my YouTube channel
The Kodak Instamatic was a very popular range of cameras. So popular, that the word ‘instamatic’ is still often used as a generic term for any point and shoot camera. Made from 1963 by Kodak in the US, UK and elsewhere, they were a range of inexpensive easy to use small cameras. I remember my
For a long time now I have been meaning to create an update for my YouTube channel intro. The previous one was a little simple but also quite dull. I was teaching myself Adobe After Effects and used the software to animate a signature that I could place over an image related to the subject
