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
Friday Image No. 47
It seems like ages since I have been able to post a Friday Image as there has always been something that got in the way. Hopefully things are improving after all the website issues.

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
Latest Book Published

In my previous blog post I shared some of my first impressions about the Canon G16 compact camera I had purchased. Today I would like to share a little more about my thoughts about the image quality. Of course these revolve around my approach to photography so may differ from how you would use the … Continue reading More from the Canon G16
Canon G16 First Thoughts
In Friday’s blog post I mentioned that I was heading up to the Lake District for some photography. To be honest, I wasn’t particularly hopeful as the plan was to climb some of the hills there and see what took our fancy. The weather forecast in the area was for snow/rain showers at sea level … Continue reading Canon G16 First Thoughts
