Nature’s ultra-wides: water droplets. PHD
When thinking of what, on the list of possible subjects, to post as the fourth in the Macro Matters series, I thought that ‘water droplets’ offered a link to the posts on wide-angle macro 1 and wide-angle macro 2 with a more tenuous one … Continue reading
Elinchrom Ranger Quadra. 3. NB
It has been a desperately unproductive time in terms of new photography during the last few months – not least because I’ve been writing a book and getting three projects into gear. But when I have gone out, it has … Continue reading
