I mentioned in my last blog that I had been using the Sony RX10 exclusively over the last week and in doing so I noticed a few things about how to get a good exposure. Here is what I learned: When the highlights clip they literally fall of a cliff. This can make the areas … Continue reading Sony RX10 Exposure Tips

Sony RX10 Surprise
You might have noticed that I haven’t posted anything over this past week. That’s because I have been taking a break in the Lake District enjoying some walking and a little photography. I had with me a range of cameras (you never quite know what you will need): Sony RX10 Olympus EM5 Panasonic GM1 (including … Continue reading Sony RX10 Surprise
The RX10 is winning me over by osmosis
I've had the RX10 for around 14 months now so I should be in a position to say if it's a good camera or not. Had you asked me this question 12 months ago I would probably have said (if I was being totally truthful) that it was a bit of a letdown. You see … Continue reading The RX10 is winning me over by osmosis
Sony RX10 Problem and Frustration
Regular readers of this blog may have noticed that I didn't post the usual Friday Image on Friday. My apologies for this but I am still battling with too much to do and too little time.

The weather forecast in the area was for snow/rain showers at sea level … Continue reading Canon G16 First Thoughts

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
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
Improving the D800
As regular readers of this blog will know I purchased a Nikon D800 a few months back in order to do a real hand on comparison with the Olympus EM5. The first few months of usage have been somewhat mixed and I have found myself reaching for the EM5 on more than one occasion, not … Continue reading Improving the D800
