Are we being lead in the wrong direction
I don’t ordinarily like to pass comment over what’s happening in the photography industry but I actually think things are getting a little “interesting” at the moment. In recent months the idea of Lightweight Photography has really grabbed people’s imagination and camera manufacturers have responded with a glut of new offers. We have seen multiple … Continue reading Are we being lead in the wrong direction
Why I Changed my Camera
In the past I have received quite a bit of correspondence from people wondering why I changed my camera from the Sony NEX-5 to a GX1. There is also a fairly regular flow of people wondering what I think of the GX1 or the Panasonic system in general and is it worth investing in. Since … Continue reading Why I Changed my Camera
Is this the biggest compact camera advantage
Some years back I made a startling discovery. I was finding that when presented with the same location, photographers with compact cameras often produced better photographs than those with expensive SLR’s. At first I dismissed this as a fluke but then I started to notice this scenario again and again at all sorts of locations. … Continue reading Is this the biggest compact camera advantage
Color Passport Update
In past blogs I have discussed how useful I find the Color Passport from Xrite. Initially I used this to set my white balance in the GX1 so that the AWB setting I tend to use almost 100% of the time is more accurate. Previously this was setting the colour temperature to 4,700K and the … Continue reading Color Passport Update

Well one of my friends came over and we spent time reviewing our work and suggesting improvements. This was great in terms of development … Continue reading Two Heads are Better than One
My Top 5 Reasons to go Micro 4/3
I have done a number of camera club presentations recently and it’s very clear there are a lot of people who really get the concept of Lightweight Photography. I have to say that it’s usually the women who appreciate this most and appear much more accepting of this new approach. Many of the men seem … Continue reading My Top 5 Reasons to go Micro 4/3
Select the Right Aperture – Part 3
The final post in the series... Compact mirror less cameras such as Micro 4/3 are slightly different from this. Most seem to be good performers from wide open, hit their best performance when stopped down by one stop and then gradually tail off as diffraction kicks in. The cameras do however have a huge advantage … Continue reading Select the Right Aperture – Part 3
You want to print it how big
I remember when I first purchased my Canon 5D MKII. One of the drivers behind this decision was to have a 21MPixel sensor. This was partly due to the main stock library I supplied only accepting 50Mb files and the pixel count on the 5D making this easy to achieve without interpolation. The other factor … Continue reading You want to print it how big
The Small Sensor Advantage
, The other night I received a number of emails that reminded me how people involved in Landscape Photographers are failing to move with the times. It used to be that you would start photography using a 35mm film camera and in time, if you were interested in Landscape Photography you might move up to … Continue reading The Small Sensor Advantage
