You will no doubt have heard the advice before, but it’s too easy to forget. We shouldn’t be taking photographs of objects but of the light. It’s the light that illuminates the object, that makes it attractive, captivating or simply ugly. You need to take control of the light to create a great image, but … Continue reading It’s Light That Matters

I was editing this and noticed
After I published the Friday Image No 20 I decided to review my Olympus EM5 shots. I had taken a few of the same location with the extremely sharp Olympus 45mm prime. You can see one particular example above. What I noticed, that took me completely by surprise, is that I can see traces of … Continue reading I was editing this and noticed
Panasonic GM1 First Thoughts – part 2
In my previous post I looked at the size of the GM1 in comparison to the LX7. In this post I will look at my thoughts around image quality. Right up front I should say that this camera is in another league when compared to the LX7, but then you would expect it to be. … Continue reading Panasonic GM1 First Thoughts – part 2
Panasonic GM1 First Thoughts
As regular readers will know, I recently splashed out on the purchase of a Panasonic GM1 camera. If you are not familiar with the GM1, it is possibly the smallest Micro 43 system camera that you can buy. My thinking was that I would use it as a backup to my main Olympus EM5, a … Continue reading Panasonic GM1 First Thoughts
Friday image No.019
Following my last post where I was sharing my first experiences of the Olympus 25mm lens, I thought I would share another image. I shot quite a few images that I would class as "texture" but I found this brickwork particularly fascinating. The salt crystals corroding the bricks make a great pattern and the lens … Continue reading Friday image No.019
New Lens for the EM5
Along with my recent purchase of a Panasonic Lumix GM1, I also picked up an Olympus 25mm prime lens. This weekend I had my first opportunity to use it properly. My first general impression is that the lens is well constructed and feels to have a nice level of quality. It’s nice to see that … Continue reading New Lens for the EM5
Friday image No.018
This is another of my images from last week's London trip. For those of you not familiar with the skyline, the large domed building is the Gherkin. And the building in front of it covered in ducting and cranes is Lloyds of London which I'm sure must be pretty well known around the world (if … Continue reading Friday image No.018
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.
Infrared on the Brigg
First off, sorry there was no Friday image this week. With everything else I had on, I just couldn't fit it in. One of the things I was doing was visiting Filey on the East Coast of England with a friend. We didn't have great weather but we did manage to capture some interesting shots. … Continue reading Infrared on the Brigg
Friday Image No.015
I have been so busy this past week that I hadn't realised Friday had come round again. Then I realised that I didn't have an image to share so I started to look back over my shots from last year. A lot of the folders I have done nothing with. Despite this there are a … Continue reading Friday Image No.015
