As I mentioned last week I bought a new camera, a used Olympus EM5. It’s an excellent camera and I love the colours. 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

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!

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
Yesterday, I met up with a friend in the Peak District for some photography. The day before, I spent a lot of time wondering which camera should I take. The choice was to go with my Fuji XT3 which is the camera I use most often. Alternatively, I could take the Panasonic G9 micro four … Continue reading Micro Four Thirds Delivers The Goods
A couple of weeks ago, I was out in the Peak District visiting Higger Tor. It was bitterly cold at the time and had been snowing earlier in the week. That’s when I shot this image.

It’s the start of a new year and I hope that it’s a great one for your photography. There are lots of New Year Resolution posts and emails doing the rounds so I won’t add to them. Instead, I want to share an image that I shot back in October 2019. Sunset view from Higger … Continue reading Happy New Photo Year
Today’s post will be a short one. I’ve been laid up ill all week and haven’t been able to do much. Outside I can see that we’ve had the first real frost of this winter. As I haven’t been out, I decided to share a shot from the start of this year which was the … Continue reading Higger Tor Frosty Landscape
