Street Photography with a Leica M6
Street photography is something I've never really ventured into. Seeing the world around you and capturing what's going on within those busy rush hour days.

Behind the Lens with Matt Thomas
Seeing as quite a few people ask what I carry in my bag and how I shoot, I thought I’d make a little behind the lens video from a photo shoot. Nothing too tech just a friendly look at what I do and why. Here’s the video, with a special thanks to Howard Colin for the filming and editing…

How To: Use Manual Focus Nikon Lenses on a Nikon DSLR
A lot of Nikon shooters such as myself use the old Nikon lenses (pre-auto focus) on their digital Nikon bodies. This might seem a little strange sticking a lens thats 15 or more years old on a fancy modern SLR, however there are a few good reasons why you would. The main reason why I bought a few…
