In my previous post I mentioned that I was going to buy a Canon G7X given how impressed I was with the G16 compact camera I had been using. Well it arrived yesterday and I have decided to do something unusual. I’m going to give a quick review of my first impressions having not yet … Continue reading My First Impression of the Canon G7X

I Love the Canon G16
I have been using the G16 pocket Camera quite a lot recently and the more I use it the more I like it. I find the build good and the image quality very good. It’s easy to use and whilst it doesn’t shine in any one area it’s a great, well balanced package that’s a … Continue reading I Love the Canon G16
Sony RX10 Takes on Europe’s Strongest Man
There is a long held Christmas tradition in many UK homes and that is to watch the World’s Strongest Man competition. One of the heats leading up to this annual event is Europe’s Strongest Man, and that’s where I went at the weekend, my daughter having bought me tickets as a birthday present. The competition … Continue reading Sony RX10 Takes on Europe’s Strongest Man
Not Following my Own Advice
I recently wrote a short tutorial titled “The Best ISO Setting”. Whilst you can of course read it by following the link, it comes down to this, the best ISO to use is the one that lets you capture a sharp image. It’s much better to suffer a little ISO noise than have a shaky … Continue reading Not Following my Own Advice
Sony RX10 – Is now the time to buy
I just received an email from WEX Photographic saying that I can pre-order the RX10 MKII. Whilst they don’t list the release date, it must be soon. The price is just short of £1,200 and browsing the spec, the thing that hits me is that it seems quite similar to the current RX10 model. Sure … Continue reading Sony RX10 – Is now the time to buy
How Much Depth of Field
Last week I took a well-deserved break (at least in my eyes) and went on holiday to Cornwall. Whilst away I took this photo that I wanted to share with you. The reason for sharing is not that this is a great Landscape image (I have a much better one taken at sunset rather than … Continue reading How Much Depth of Field
A Great Little Lens
A few months back (in January I think) I purchased a new lens for my Panasonic GM1. For those of you who are not familiar with the GM1, it’s a very small Micro 43 camera. Actually to say that it’s very small is an understatement. The body of this camera is smaller than many compact … Continue reading A Great Little Lens
Back to Photography
Following the traumas of the weekend and my Lenscraft website crash, Monday saw me get back to photography. Well talking about photography at least. I was over at the South Manchester Photographic Society giving a presentation on Lightweight Photography and the benefits of using small cameras The talk went well and seemed to generate a … Continue reading Back to Photography
If only it had been in focus
Regular readers may know that I have a 7.5mm Fisheye Lens for my Micro 43 cameras. Whilst it doesn't get used all that often, it's a great lens, very well priced and is incredibly well made. If you haven't seen one check out this link on Amazon (http://amzn.to/1QyJzUJ) and take a close look at the … Continue reading If only it had been in focus
Friday Image No.54
For this week's image I thought I would share a Panoramic. This was captured as four images using a Canon G16 compact camera. The resulting stitched image is approximately 21" x 12" at 300dpi. The stitching was done using the new Lightroom 6 (Creative Cloud 2015). All I can say is that I'm now addicted … Continue reading Friday Image No.54
