Friday image No.016

This week's Friday image is another shot from my Filey trip last weekend. Here is the spit of land that juts out into the sea and forms the Filey Brigg. The low setting sun was an amazing transformation from the grey sky of the earlier day. Have a great weekend.

I have no will power

A couple of weeks back I was out with my friend Steve (who is also an Olympus EM5 owner) and we were discussing just how good this camera is. At the time we agreed that we didn’t want for anything so would stop all this chasing around after new kit and just work with what … Continue reading I have no will power

Why you dont need a DSLR

One of the great things I love about my blogging platform is that it allows me to see how people have found my site. Recently I have seen a lot of traffic coming from forums where people have considered switching from a DSLR to Micro 43. Typically someone with a good DSLR such as a … Continue reading Why you dont need a DSLR

When is an A Series Filter not an A Series Filter

I want to share with you a valuable lesson about filters. Those of you reading this blog regularly will no doubt be aware of the importance I place on the use of filters, particularly ND Graduated filters, for Landscape Photography. For some time I have wanted to try out the reverse ND graduated filters that … Continue reading When is an A Series Filter not an A Series Filter

When more is less

So, I have done it. I returned the 14-140 lens for a refund and the money has gone against a Sony RX10. My first impressions are that this is quite a large camera. Actually, it's not a camera at all but a huge lens with a sensor stuck on the back. You might feel that … Continue reading When more is less

Never Give Up

I was in the Lake District at the weekend for a couple of days walking in the hills and as you would expect I took my camera along (the Olympus EM5). Looking through the images last night, this particular one stood out for me. This was the last picture I shot at the weekend. It … Continue reading Never Give Up

Super Sharp 60mm

I think I have mentioned previously that I recently purchased a 60mm Olympus Macro lens for use with my EM5. At that time I hadn’t had the opportunity to use it but I finally put the lens through its paces during my visit to Acadia National Park in the US. Here are my thoughts having … Continue reading Super Sharp 60mm

The LWP Loves America

Firstly an apology for not having posted anything for a couple of weeks now. This is because I have been away in America; Acadia National Park in Maine to be precise. This is my second trip of the year to the States and I have to declare that I love America. I love the larger … Continue reading The LWP Loves America

Lightweight Panoramic Set-up

Not too long ago I related how I had been struggling with the small size of my Olympus OMD EM5 when using it on a tripod. My solution to this had been to buy the two part grip and also to use an L-bracket from Novoflex. The Novoflex bracket wasn’t required to solve the size … Continue reading Lightweight Panoramic Set-up

The Lightweight Photographer Bulks up

No I haven’t gone mad, but I do need a bigger camera - sometimes! Some of you reading this will recall my decision a few months back to sell my Canon 5D MKII and switch to an Olympus OMD EM5. At the time I felt the EM5 would give me the quality I needed but … Continue reading The Lightweight Photographer Bulks up
