Making Mirrorless Work
Last week, I shared a disappointing sunset photo that turned out to be one of the best of the evening. I haven’t had time to get out with the camera this week, so I thought I would look through some old photos instead. That’s where I found this shot. Misty sunrise on Higger Tor, The … Continue reading More Disappointing Photography Saved
This week, the weather has turned decidedly wintery, and I headed up onto the moors for some sunset photography. There was some truly spectacular colour, but I didn’t capture anything more than what I consider to be snapshots. Stand Edge Winter sunset, Saddleworth I’ve therefore continued to spend time editing some of the many images … Continue reading More Landscape Photography In the Peak District
Towards the end of 2020, I headed out to The Roaches in the Peak District. It’s a popular area with climbers and gives excellent views over the Staffordshire countryside. You may recall that 2020 was when the world was in lockdown with COVID. Because of this, I hadn’t been out much with the camera and … Continue reading Mistakenly Shooting JPEGs
You may already know but I recently purchased an Olympus EM5 Mark III camera. So far, I’ve found the camera a joy to use, and I’ve been delighted by the images and colours produced. One disappointing area however has been the High-Resolution mode which I recently suggested was the camera’s weak spot. When used in … Continue reading Olympus EM5 Mark III High Resolution Mode

Last weekend I took it out for a trial and managed a few nice images but also ruined a few for reasons I’ll outline. Recently I’ve been experiencing problems with flare when … Continue reading Forgetting the Basics of Photography
Last week, I shared that I had purchased a used Olympus EM5 Mark iii, along with a couple of images from its first outing. I’ve now been out with the camera a few more times and I’m still extremely impressed, although I may have found a weakness. Here is another heather image from the Peak … Continue reading Is This The EM5’s Weak Spot?
Many readers of this blog might recall me complaining about the Panasonic G9. On one hand I love the camera; it’s well build, feels great in the hands and the image quality is excellent. On the other hand, I hate the colours it produces. I’ve tried all sorts of solutions, but I can never get … Continue reading I Found The Heather AND MUCH More
Yesterday, I headed out to do a walk around Win Hill in the Peak District. I’ve done this walk in the past or tried to. It’s supposed to be around 6 miles but last time it turned into 12 because I thought I knew the route but didn’t. This time the weather looked promising, so … Continue reading What, No Heather!
I was out on Wednesday evening, heading over to the Peak District to photograph the landscape. The plan was to meet up with a friend at Higger Tor in the hope of shooting a great sunset. The conditions were forecast to be perfect. Once on Higger Tor, we spent an hour or so finding possible … Continue reading Evening Shoot on Higger Tor
Last week, I shared a landscape image that I’d taken from Burbage Edge on the Peak District. I used it to talk about the quality of my Panasonic G9 micro four thirds camera and Leica lenses. But the real reason that I was on Burbage Edge wasn’t to test the quality of the G9. It … Continue reading Sunset Photography on Burbage Edge
