Nice to get out with a telephoto lens, this one a Sony 70-200mm! Images taken at last week’s MEO World Surf Championships in Supertubos break in Peniche, Portugal. Caroline Marks and Yago Dora winning respectively.

On my first visit to the USA in 2000, to visit friends in San Francisco, I came across this great old car, a Plymouth I think, and was just waiting to be photographed.

A favourite place, this forest, somewhere up in the Scandinavian countryside, but full of green, like the new trees of spring, and an appropriate one for today. Happy St. Patrick's Day! #HappyStPatricksDay #StPatricksDay #luckoftheirish #green #photography

A few years back, I was invited to a meeting right next to this view over central London. It was great to see all these new buildings, the Shard, and the Cheesegrater! Same time as the Olympics preparations, so London was looking good. #blackandwhitephotography #bwPhotography #blackandwhite

I've always had a soft spot for trees, especially in winter, especially in black and white!

The Vulcan Pub once located on Adam Street in Cardiff, before being demolished to make way for new roads, etc. However, it was moved to a museum and rebuilt exactly as it had once been. #filmPhotography #blackandwhitephotography #longexposure #ilfordDelta100 #bwPhotography #blackandwhite

After a snow storm cleared, a wonderful sky opened up, with the most amazing light. Hørsholm, just north of Copenhagen. Shot on #FujiFilm #Velvia, and then scanned before being post processed in #Snapseed. Taken on a #Hasselblad #120Film #LandscapePhotography #Fuji #Denmark #snapseed #Scandinavia

Long Exposure of a bus passing me. Great fun setting the exposure at a couple of seconds and then seeing the end result. It's as close as you can get to being back in the darkroom ☺️ #FujiFilm #FujiXpro1 #StreetPhotography #Landscape #longExposure #Fuji #CardiffBay #Wales #snapseed

The reflections of the new apartment buildings overlooking Roath Basin in Cardiff Bay. Blessed to be in such a tranquil place one early morning in May, 2022.

Finding a lot of value from this tool, which converts a range of images. But for my workflow, I am using it to convert .tiff to .webp images for my website. squoosh.app #photography jamesgray.photography

Has anyone else found this before, or are using it in their workflow? What do you think of it?

Another image from Milan - walking through the shopping streets behind the Duomo. Continuing to experiment with slow shutter speeds and #snapseed for the post production on the fly. #SonyA7iii #StreetPhotography #milano #milan #Italy #snapseed #photography #sony #longExposure #milanphotography

Slow exposure with the focus on a long abandoned phone box covered in stickers in Venice. I think i just caught the moment at the right time before the phone box was totally blocked. #SonyA7iii #StreetPhotography #venice #Italy #snapseed #photography #longExposure #venicephotography #venezia

Found a great tool imageaddborder.com to add a border, which improves most images by a factor of 10x! Continuing my experiment with slow shutters & #snapseed for post production on-the-fly. #SonyA7iii #StreetPhotography #milan #milano #Italy #snapseed #photography #sony #longExposure #slowShutter
