Ross’s Blog
I’m a notebook kind of guy. I have notebooks filled with notes, ideas and thoughts and I thought it was about time that I put the contents of these notebooks out into the world… in blog form.
Keep one eye on this blog page for some ideas, advice, experiences, thoughts, exclusives, links, inspirations, lists and maybe the odd rant or two… mostly about photography.

Should I Buy The LUMIX S9?
Name another full-frame camera, under £1000, that you can load your own LUTs into, that’s small, lightweight, can shoot LOG, 6K Open Gate, with great Image Stabilisation, battery life and overall bangin’ quality…
Thoughts On The Fujifilm X100
Now that it’s 14+ years since the 12MP original X100 was released, one question lingers in my head. Will I ever upgrade my original Fujifilm X100 to one of the newer models???
Launching My ‘Print Shop’
