Last week, I didn’t post anything to the blog. That’s because I was out of the country, snowshoeing in the mountains of Austria. I can still feel the stress of climbing steep slopes in my knees, but the views were worth it. Unfortunately, as you can see from this shot, there wasn’t much in the … Continue reading Snowshoeing in Austria is a Photographer’s Dream
I was laid up ill for most of last week. This week I’m feeling a lot better but still not 100%. I did however manage to get out for a brief (very chilly) walk on Wednesday. It’s been below zero here for the past week, even during the day. I headed up the hill to … Continue reading Photographing the First Signs of Winter
This week, I had planned to share more of the images from my recent outing to Blackpool. But then something happened, and I became side-tracked. I wish I could tell you what it was, but I don’t know. This seems to happen to me with increasing regularity. You might think it’s my age, but I … Continue reading Photographing the Forests of Olympic National Park

Now that I can finally take a holiday, I don’t feel that I … Continue reading Back From Yet Another Break
Fantastic light on Blackpool Beach

Now let’s get down to this week’s photograph that I want to share. In fact, I want to share two photos, both taken on the same day in … Continue reading Happy New Year
After my month spent shooting with the Panasonic Lumix G9 I felt quite positive about the experience. Now that I’ve spent more time editing some of the RAW files I shot whilst in Cornwall, I’m feeling even more positive. Previously I’d reported that I didn’t like the colour of the images and couldn’t seem to … Continue reading Panasonic Lumix G9 Images
Last week I spoke about my overlooked Panasonic G9 micro 43 kit and how I was challenging myself to shoot with it through June. Well, I may have failed depending on how pure you view my challenge. You see the weather here has been hot, dry, and sunny for the past week. This has caused … Continue reading Update on my Micro 43 Challenge
VIew from Win Hill in the Peak District. Panasonic G9 with 12-60 lens. See text below for further details. I’m sure that it will come as no surprise that I’ve been wasting lots of time with my new Panasonic G9. I’ve spent hours pixel peeping to examine the performance of the camera and have even … Continue reading High-Resolution Pixel Peeping with the Panasonic G9
