Hybrid Workflow

  On a recent photo outing with a friend we got talking about film photography. He had recent returned to film photography (but also uses a digital camera) and was now using a hybrid workflow with his film. This involved shooting film which he then scanned using an Epson V700 flatbed scanner. The resulting scans … Continue reading Hybrid Workflow →

Spring Has Arrived

I didn't have to walk far for this shot. These crocus were in the pot outside my back door. Lovely colours from the RX10 again.

Friday Image No.049

This week’s Friday Image is yet another picture from my Sony RX10. I must apologise to anyone who feels this is becoming a Sony RX10. It isn’t, it’s just that I am finding myself reaching for the RX10 increasingly often, especially when a walk is involved. I don’t need to remember to take additional lenses … Continue reading Friday Image No.049 →

Could my RX10 be “Wired Wrong”

I know that it seems far fetched but this is the question I find myself asking given some of my recent experiences. It started with the image you see above. This was a long exposure shot on a tripod using a Lee 6 Stop ND filter. To arrive at this image I had to make … Continue reading Could my RX10 be “Wired Wrong” →

Another EM5 Posting

I'm excited. I have bought a second EM5 body given the recent drop in prices. It's second hand but has a low shutter count. In fact I didn't want a new EM5 as I am going to get this one converted to Infrared. When I had the GX1 converted I used a company called ACS. … Continue reading Another EM5 Posting →

Well Done Lee Filters

A couple of weeks back I was in the Lake District enjoying some walking and photography. It was during this time that I came across a rather high contrast scene so reached for my filter kit. Regular readers may know that I am a huge fan of the Lee Seven 5 series of filters which … Continue reading Well Done Lee Filters →

Would You Buy the Olympus EM5 MK II

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 →
