More from the Canon G16

In my previous blog post I shared some of my first impressions about the Canon G16 compact camera I had purchased. Today I would like to share a little more about my thoughts about the image quality. Of course these revolve around my approach to photography so may differ from how you would use the … Continue reading More from the Canon G16

Friday Image No. 46

It's a very quick post for this week's Friday image. That's because I have only just got home and I need to pack for a trip to the Lake District tomorrow. Hopefully I can take advantage of the forecast snow. I wasn't too sure which image to post so I thought I would resort to … Continue reading Friday Image No. 46

Resolution Broken

I’m currently preparing a presentation on Lightweight Photography for Chorley Photographic Society where I have spoken in the past. As part of this I decided to take a few shots with my Panasonic LX7 when I was out in the Lake District on my last trip. Above you can see one of the images which … Continue reading Resolution Broken

Catching Up

Well that’s Christmas and New Year over with, at least for another year. It was great in that I managed to see many of my family, some of whom I don’t get to see that often. On the down side I ended up not achieving much on my ever growing list of work. Current projects … Continue reading Catching Up

An Important Decision

It was an early start yesterday. Up at 4:30 in the morning in order to make the 2 hour journey to Ullswater in the Lake District for a dawn shoot. Despite the early morning start it was without question one of the most enjoyable days photography that I have ever had. Overnight the temperature had … Continue reading An Important Decision

Something to Say Again

I had a bit of a scare over the holidays that made me realise how sloppy I have become with my backup process. At one time I was pretty rigorous in processing and backing up my images. Everything went into a holding area on my hard drive which was duplicated to a second hard drive. … Continue reading Something to Say Again

Not much to say for myself

It doesn't happen often but I don't have anything to actually say for myself today. I also feel a little frustrated that I'm looking through my library of work over the past year and I'm somewhat under-inspired by my efforts. Some things catch my attention but when I look more closely I lose interest. I … Continue reading Not much to say for myself

Working with Textures

One thing that I really enjoy doing is working with texture files. I like the surprise of the new and enjoyment of creating something more akin to art than photography. I don't often share this sort of work as many people don't class it as photography and quite a lot don't like it. But if … Continue reading Working with Textures

Seasons Greetings – I think

I need to get something off my chest I'm afraid. Yesterday I sent out a mailing to my Lenscraft subscriber list wishing people a Merry Christmas a Happy New Year. As there are people from all over the world subscribing and no doubt from all faiths I did think long and hard about this as … Continue reading Seasons Greetings – I think

Piccure+ Update

  After my previous post about Piccure+ and Topaz Detail I had a few question by email asking how well Piccure+ worked with my EM5 and Olympus 12-40mm lens. I hope the following answers this question. Firstly the camera should be irrelevant as the software is intended to correct lens aberration and optical defects. Secondly … Continue reading Piccure+ Update
