Since Olympus announced the EM5 MK II I seem to have been asked repeatedly will I be buying the new camera. My answer is “not yet” and “probably not” (although I reserve the right to change my mind). The spec for the EM5 MK II is very enticing. There is the 40MP RAW image size … Continue reading Would You Buy the Olympus EM5 MK II

Friday Image No. 48
This week's Friday image comes from my recent trip to the UK Lake District. I post this not because it's a great image but because I started playing around with the RX10 image to see how much detail I could pull out of the image and also how much I could enlarge it by. The … Continue reading Friday Image No. 48
Sony RX10 Exposure Tips
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.

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.

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

I decided to write this book following many conversations with photographers, some quite experienced experience, who really didn't understand the core skills of camera control. Whilst they knew about terms … Continue reading Latest Book Published
Further Website Frustrations
So, I have to start this post with yet another apology. I was feeling quite pleased with myself after the flurry of activity last weekend and a few nights this week. Security on the Lenscraft website was much tighter and the response speeds were very good. How things have changed. Last night I received an … Continue reading Further Website Frustrations
Running the Lenscraft Website
Firstly an apology for not posting a Friday image yesterday but there is a very good reason. Over this past week I have been hit by all sorts of broadband problems. I don't know if it's related to the snow and cold weather but I lost my connection on Thursday and have only just recovered … Continue reading Running the Lenscraft Website
