  1. Clocks go back in three weeks. What do you actually shoot on winter weeknights?

    Week three on the quayside. Tried the Swing Bridge this time and got moved on by a security bloke for standing near a gate I wasnt even touching. Two keepers though, so still counts

    Tell that to the wife, the hall wall is about A3 and that's me lot. Might do 2 at A3 and 4 at whatever I can sneak into the spare room

  3. Starling murmurations, settings that don't turn into mush?

    aye wider, get the reeds or a tree in the bottom of the frame so theres something sharp to hang it on

    go the other way. 1/10 to 1/4 on a tripod and let them smear, the shapes look bloody brilliant like smoke. you'll bin 90% but the ones that work are better than any sharp one ive ever seen

    Right. Went down the quayside tonight with the tripod. Freezing, two lads asked if I was from the council, and I've got one shot of the Millennium Bridge I'm actually happy with. Same time next week

  6. Edits look great on my laptop and too dark on everything else

    That's how they get you. Then its a new monitor, then a new laptop to drive the monitor. Ask me how I know

  9. Predicting valley fog in autumn, what do you actually use?

    Or just go every weekend and accept 1 in 4. Thats what I do in the Cheviots and Ive got about 3 decent inversion shots in 5 bloody years

  10. Camera for my son for Christmas, wait for Black Friday or buy now?

    Used every time. A second hand a6400 with the kit lens is well under £600 and itll track a skateboard no bother. Skaters are quick but theyre not swallows
