'The Jungle' Migrant Camp, Calais, France - I can't believe it's been 10 years! That's me, far left, with my assistant and two of the many men we met over the months...I wonder where they are now?

First shots with the Samyang 16mm 2.8 - it's a focal length with novelty, but a novelty which I think will wear off fairly rapidly... 🤣

My first shot with any lens is the 'kitchen shot' - gives me an idea of perspective and distortion. This lens, at £250, is surprisingly good. There some barrel distortion there, but nothing terrible. Remember the cheap super wides from even 10 years ago? 😳

When photographing on fishing boats, I’ve always craved a bit more width for a lot of situations. 21mm is as wide as I’ve ever used, 28mm for the past few years. So this new Samyang 16mm 2.8 is going to be a real departure for me, visually.

Strange how these two images, completely uncropped or adjusted, taken hours apart, seem to fit together perfectly to make another reality. 😳

Scottish fisherman, Dougie Maculloch. 7 years ago, I spent two weeks with Dougie, 100 miles off the NW coast of Scotland.We became good friends. Soon after my return home,the skipper of the boat contacted me to say that Dougie was dead. He was one the kindest, funniest, most troubled souls I've met.

These were all shot at very high ISO - 12500 & 25000. Even 50,000 and 100,000 are usable.
