My interest in photography has skyrocketed since I started attending the weekly meetings (Wednesday, 7pm BST) hosted by Tom Caulfield for XY Crew. Tom’s the man behind the filming and editing of all the conference videos since 2016. He was formerly a semi-professional photographer, you couldn’t meet a more patient teacher of the craft.

You can join XY Crew here, which will enable you to attend Tom’s meetings and so many more (including the Cybershed, open 24/7/365) from only USD5.00 pcm.

I’ve just joined Pixieset, one of a number of online galleries suitable for both amateur and professional photographers. I’m currently using their free subscription option. A selection of my outdoor photographs from the past year, almost all of them taken in Bedford, is here.

I also have a paid subscription with Adobe Lightroom – £9.95 pcm, with 1TB of storage – my outdoor photograph gallery is here. To see the associated metadata – date, time, camera and lens details, settings – click on the individual images, then click on the small “i” symbol in a circle to the right of the the image.
