My gear…. (the list is short and sweet):
  • Main camera: Fujifilm XT 5
  • Backup: iPhone 17 Pro Max
  • Editing software: On1 and DarkTable(free).

I prefer minimal editing, just a little contrast adjustment, perhaps add some grain and vignette and a border…..done.

Here is a selection of my favourite pics:
