My infrared converted GX1 continues to draw me in and has become somewhat addictive. I often see comments from people saying getting an old camera converted is making good use of it. If you have an old camera and are considering getting it converted I would however suggest thinking twice. Not because it’s addictive and … Continue reading Seeing in the Shadows

Last week was a big week for me. After 5 years of painfully slow service I decided to replace my PC. The PC in question is an old quad core HP with 1TB storage across 2 hard drives running Vista 64bit and 4GB of memory.

I’m not sure why but the format (usually somewhere between 2:1 and 3:1 ratio) really appeals to me and makes sense as the way I see the world. Unfortunately, to create good panoramic images you need additional equipment beyond just the digital camera and … Continue reading Lightweight Panoramic Photography
Printing, Always an Interesting Exercise

The first area I visited was Death Valley and the photograph shown above was taken at Zabriskie Point in the valley. It's a bit of an odd place to visit in terms of Landscape … Continue reading Back to Blogging with Zabriskie Badlands

Photo Acute Photography Software
Every so often you come across a piece of software that redefines what you accepted as the rules of photography. Something that makes you think how on earth did they do that. Well I may have stumbled across such a software package and it’s called Photo Acute. In brief this is a software package to … Continue reading Photo Acute Photography Software
The Black art of Colour Management
In my last post I discussed some of the choices we photographers now have in choosing paper surfaces for printing. Someone raised a question that I responded to about how to get the colours accurate but I think this subject deserves a more in depth answer; so here is a little more on the subject. … Continue reading The Black art of Colour Management
