Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS II Review With apologies to Mark Twain, the coldest winter I ever spent was two weeks in July, Summer 2023 in Shropshire! I’m over in the UK for a couple of weeks attending a family funeral and the weather is appalling! I say this at least partly as an excuse…
I’ve been looking for a small camera to use for street photography lately and finally took the plunge last week, buying a second hand Ricoh GR IIIx from MPB. There has been a lot of excitable claims made about this camera over the last couple of years, so how good is the Ricoh GR IIIx…

Released today, in this DxO PhotoLab 6 Review we compare capabilities in editing and catalog management with previous models of PhotoLab…
The best photo editing software for landscape photography is a subject that I think I am reasonably well placed to comment on, having suffered and benefited from multiple solutions over the course of my career. As ever, I only feature software I have good hands on experience of. The section entitled Best of the Rest…
Some say Levelling, Others say leveling Until I started to research this article I had no idea there was a debate around the actual word! We will use the english version – levelling except where the product is actually named using the american leveling version. Which levelling base for panoramic photography? We take a look…
