A blog on travel photography and our photography courses in the UK and Abroad.
Recently finished editing my shots from my recent trip. All edited with a mixture of Photoshop CC and some with Lightroom. I have uploaded them to my flickr account: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmM9VBhk

With a big birthday coming up this year Helen has already splashed out on a present – The Fuji X-T100 was on sale on the Fujifilm web site for just £279 which is an excellent price and I went for the Dark Silver model which included the Fujion XC 15-45 lens. The camera has a nice retro look but has some great modern features like a touch screen and articulated screen.
The first camera arrived but unfortunately had a mark on the sensor so was returned and replaced. This meant I couldn’t take it with me on my recent trip to the USA and since coming back the Covid19 restrictions have restricted my attempts to use the camera but taking it out today on my walk I was impressed. The electronic viewfinder is clear and crisp. The camera is compact and lightweight and the retro controls are nicely laid out. The APS-C CMOS sensor is 24 megapixel and gives excellent quality results.
Nice selection of settings replicating old film favourites like Velvia and Provia built into the menus and some great options connecting the camera to a laptop or tablet via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. My first impressions are positive and looking forward to using it when things get back to normal.

Here are my recent corrected photos from the Canon 6D Mk II for our recent trip to Antelope Canyon. All hand held as tripods are no longer allowed on any tours into the Canyon. All pictures taken in raw and processed through Photoshop.

On the last day of our trip we visited the wheel in Las Vegas. $23 for a ticket to see Vegas from the sky. The wheel is 550 ft tall – around 120 feet higher than the London Eye. Next time I come I am going to do the wheel at night for views off the strip in neon. Here are some phone shots.
Drive to Vegas via Zion National Park and Grafton – the old Mormon Ghost town just outside the park.
Afternoon at Bryce Canyon after a long drive from Moab. The weather gods were good to us with near perfect conditions. Here are a few phone pictures.

Drove from Monument Valley to Moab then on to the National Park. Here are some phone shots and a great shot from Mick of Tracey at Arches.
Great texture in the clouds. This was taken on my phone. Looking forward to processing the camera images when I get home.
Here are some pictures from our trip today around Monument Valley. Staying at The View hotel this evening.
