Review of Kata Photo Backpack

Thursday, October 24th, 2013

 

I purchased the above bag some 5 months ago as my current Lowepro Backpack was well beyond its sell by date, it was starting to let in water and was wearing out in places. This new Kata bag was not cheap, almost £150 so it should be good, although it must be 20 years since I last purchased a decent bag.

2013 KitKat trip to the Lake District

Friday 6th September – Tuesday 10th September 2013

The KitKat Diaries

A brief account of our latest escapde…………………….

I think I can speak for most seasoned KK’ers that the 2012 trip to Morecambe was in the main a disappointment, the company was good, the Hotel was good, the location was, to be honest a little bit wanting for more to do. We had a good run up and got a few at Twistleton, and likewise tended to go into the Lake District for inspiration. On the back of these trips it was decided that we go to the Lake District (proper) in 2013.

Meet the OUTLAW – Ian Pinn _ NOPS Chairman (2013)

Tuesday, September 24th, 2013

Hi,

Being as though I suggested this feature I felt it only appropriate that I should kick it off.

I have been into photography all my adult life, my passion really grew when my wife (to be) bought me a Prakitica L2 with a 50mm Pentacon lens for an engagement present when I was 19 (yes, it was a long time ago).

User review of the Canon 8-15mm f4L Fisheye Zoom Lens

Thursday, September 19th, 2013

I have always been a fan of Fisheye and Ultrawide lenses, right back to my film days, the first Fisheye lens I owned was a Sigma 15mm, all manual, all metal beauty that I still own (although I don’t use it anymore, it’s just a paperweight). So with the move to digital this was an area of creativity that I was sorely missing. I purchased a wide angle zoom, 17-40mm for my full frame body which was great for landscapes but I needed wider, I needed Fisheye.
