Cataratas del Iguazú
Another couple of days off from work and a chance to revisit the Cataratas del Iguazú. These amazing waterfalls lie along the border between Brazil and Argentina and are surrounded by a beautiful tropical forest, which in the 19th century once covered almost the entirety of this region. The falls can be visited from both Argentina and Brazil – and both sides are just awesome. All images were shot with an Olympus E-M10II and 12-50mm kit zoom.

Review: Capture One 10
Phase One has just announced the latest update to their flagship RAW processing software, Capture One 10, with a raft of new features and improvements – and a €99 price tag for the update. Is it worth upgrading?

Fast food kiosk, Moll d’ Espanya, Barcelona.

Postcards from Kyoto…
Some snapshots taken on a half-day break while again in Kyoto for work – a good opportunity to get back to some favourite spots and a nice change from Barcelona.

Barcelona Colour
Four random colour scenes of everyday life in Barcelona. Colour shots taken in the market are really painful to edit, as the extremely mixed lighting makes getting anything vaguely approaching acceptable colour painful. I would love to find a practical, efficient strategy to adjust colour for indoor “street” shots that is more effective than the Monte-Carlo method that I currently use…

Carrer dels Angels, Barcelona – this doorway was one of the subjects used in the very different “bubbles” images.
Stripes
The first of a series of film based street photographs, shot in Barcelona.
Urbanity
Winter is coming, in every sense, and Barcelona feels like a different city. Back to some street photography on Monday…
