As you may be able to tell, the new EM5 Infrared conversion I had done by ProTech has really taken hold of my enthusiasm. As the days start to draw out and the sun becomes harsher it's perfect for Infrared. If your love is landscape photography and you find the summer months a frustration, one … Continue reading Friday Image No.53
An Infrared Day
As planned (and mentioned in my Friday post) I visited Malham in Yorkshire at the weekend. The weather conditions were forecast to be sunny with broken cloud so the intention was to shoot Infrared. I actually intended to shoot mainly infrared film on the XPan using my new 30mm lens. In the end I found … Continue reading An Infrared Day
Friday Image No.52
This is another image shot last weekend at Gordale Scar near to Malham in the Yorkshire Dales. The image is of the side of the Scar before you get to the main scramble. The scar is actually a huge fault line and covered in limestone. If you have never been to this area it's well … Continue reading Friday Image No.52
First XPan 30mm Images
In addition to trying out my new EM5 Infrared conversion at the weekend I also had the opportunity to take the XPan 30mm lens for a spin. This is a lens that I had lusted after for most of the time I had owned an XPan but it had always seemed out of reach. The … Continue reading First XPan 30mm Images
The Sun is Out
The sun is out at last which means it's no good for Landscape Photography. But it is good for Infrared Landscape Photography. Yesterday I went up to the Yorkshire Dales in order to try out my new Olympus EM5 which I had converted to Infrared. The conversion was completed by ProTech in the UK and … Continue reading The Sun is Out
Friday Image No. 51
I don't mind admitting that I struggled to find a Friday image to post today. In the end I had to go back to the end of December when I visited the Lakes. The weather seems to have been terrible of late and it's getting pretty depressing. It's made all the worse knowing that I … Continue reading Friday Image No. 51
My Infrared Conversion Arrives
A couple of weeks back I posted a blog about how I wanted to buy a second EM5 and get it converted to Infrared. Whilst the Infrared GX1 is nice I felt that a second converted EM5 body would fit better with my kit. That way there are less spare batteries and chargers to carry. … Continue reading My Infrared Conversion Arrives
Perfect Prints Every Time – New Book
I receive a lot of mail from photographers struggling to print their photographs on inkjet printers. It's usually things such as there's a colour cast or the print doesn't look like the image on screen. Sometimes it's a little more serious with complaints such as the colours and blacks are completely off. Many people who … Continue reading Perfect Prints Every Time – New Book
Friday Image No. 050
Regular readers of this blog may well remember my experiment with the Nikon D800 which I eventually sold. At the time I had a number of outings where I struggled to get the best out of the camera. Isn’t it interesting how time and distance from an event help change your perception. Don’t worry, I … Continue reading Friday Image No. 050
A Little Crazy
I have done something a little crazy. Since talking to my friend about scanning and having done a few scans myself recently, I have had the bug to shoot some film again. In particular I want to shoot Infrared but I might even start shooting some slide film again. Whilst I have around 50 rolls … Continue reading A Little Crazy
