I now have CS4 downloaded onto the Mac, took some getting used to be its great, really flexible in all honesty its probably overkill for my needs however it compliments my set up well. I prefer to get it right in camera if I can and not totally rely on Photoshop to do the work for me. My post processing is minimal really a boost in colour perhaps, change in shadow details etc.

Im now totally hooked on shooting in RAW so my workflow has changed somewhat, I put off shooting RAW for two years but now I really wouldnt want to go back. That means I will more than likely get some new CF cards for the forthcoming motorsports season.

I have recently added a ND4 stop filter to the kit - great value and funky results from the recent Ingleton trip, I may as the Spring starts get a solid ND8 just in case.

My tick list of locations is getting sorted slowly but surely but the nice thing is Im adding to it almost weekly. Im quite enamoured at the moment by urban exploration so follow the blog for some future interesting shoots.

Heres a shot I took last week of the old Springfield Brewery in Wolverhampton - keep watching for more when I eventually find a way in.
