Photo Journalism is a very popular photographic subject. I know this because the Royal Photographic Society has a group for people who enjoy it and also because a friend of mine in the Reigate Photographic Society runs a similar group for the Surrey Photographic Association and this is well over-subscribed.

I have been using a Seculine Twin1 R3-TRN wireless remote for some time now and I wouldn’t be without it for close ups when I am using a tripod and live view to avoid camera shake. In the last few days I have had a problem with the shutter not firing and am going to [...]

When I am not taking photographs, one of the other things I like to do is ride a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and I have said many times, “you’re never alone with a Harley”. The reason I say this is that no matter where you are, the moment you park, someone will come up to you and [...]
