    Micro 4/3 If you'd known then what you know now.....

    Iā€™ve noticed a few threads mentioning repeated purchases of the same lens. This got me thinking about the large number of lenses we micro four thirds users have to choose from and, if I had my time over or had to start from nothing, would I pick the same glass I have now. Hereā€™s the results of...

    A Lightroom Reality Check

    I'm the only person I know in the non-digital world using Lightroom Classic so would appreciate a reality check on my perception. Is it me or is LR's face recognition function getting worse? I have memories of it finding 90% of faces. Then a few updates ago the recognition rate fell to below...

    Micro 4/3 Valoi easy35 - OK with M43?

    Kamera store have a tempting Black Friday deal on the Valoi easy35 negative digitising system. Iā€™ve tried a few other ways of digitising many years of 35 negs with limited success. Therefore Iā€™m considering buying the easy35 system for use with an EM5iii and the Oly 60mm macro prime. Does...

    Advice Wanted Lapel Mic Recommendation

    I sometimes use an Olympus LS P4 voice recorder as a video microphone on my Olympus OM-D EM5iii. This picks up ambient sound way better than the camera's built in mic(s). A friend's just asked me to record a few teaching videos for her clients and I need a lapel mic for the LS P4. I'm in the...

    Software Recovery Software

    Not sure if this belongs here but I couldnā€™t see a more suitable area. Apologies if itā€™s in the wrong place. I stupidly erased all the images from SD card before Iā€™d manually copied off a few .MOV files. I thought itā€™d be no problem as I have a data recovery program on my PC; Bitmart Restorer...

    Use For Empty Canon Ink Bottles

    Switched from an HP to a Canon ink jet (long story) so I'm now filling the ink tanks from bottles. Works well but I end up with empty ink bottles. The bottles are very well made, a nice size, feel good in the hand and look like they could be useful. Yes, I am one of those people who often keeps...

    LRā€™s Camera

    Iā€™ve just discovered that LR on my iPhone has a camera that shoots RAW (DNG). Why did I not know this? Early days using it but editing on the phone then uploading to my Adobe account was easy. Tomorrow, Iā€™ll be checking out the rest of the process: downloading from Adobe for further tweaking...

    Registering Equipment Details

    After the LastPass security fiasco last year, I'm swapping password managers. The process has got me thinking about recording details of all my valuables especially photographic gear. The Olympus kit is registered on the official site but I'm aware that OMS could change things and that only...

When updating DxO PL6 I saw the following in the 'What's New' details: Known limitations Important: the Apple Neural Engine, under macOS Ventura, currently produces color shifts. We temporarily recommend using the GPU to avoid such issue. DxO is working...

    Advice Wanted FD Lens Adaptor

    I recently dug out my old Canon FD lenses including the nifty 50mm. I believe itā€™s possible to use these on my Oly body with an adaptor. However Iā€™ve heard horror stories of jammed lenses, poor connectivity, focus problems, etc. when using adaptors. Please can anyone, from experience...

    Software New Version Of Affinity Photo?

    Just received an email from Serif proclaiming "Something Big Is Coming". It contains a link to a teaser movie for an announcement 09/11 (or 11/09 for those across the pond). I suspect that it's for v2 of the Affinity products including Photo which is now over seven years old. However, towards...

    SOHO All In One (with decent photo printing)

    I'm in the market for a high end, SOHO, all in one printer to replace an HP PageWide Pro MFP 477dw that's packed up at just on three years old. Lots of problems, long story. The new Epson EcoTank printers appeal but I've no experience with them other than setting up an entry level model for...

    Micro 4/3 Camera / Lens Recommendation for a Young Newbie

    My DD has at last expressed an interest in photography. Inevitably this will lead to a request for a camera of her own to replace her old, now broken Kodak Easyshare. Second hand, just in case this proves to be a fad, but not too old as, if she develops an interest and my M5iii is commandeered...

    Apple iPhone - Non-Pro Models - RAW Shooting Apps

    Despite my delight at the quality of images from the family's iPhones, there have been occasions when I've either been disappointed by the processing of the images (too garish) or wanted to rescue an image but been unable to (there's only so much that can be done with a HEIC or JPEG file). I've...

    Near Misses

    We all share our best images but what about the ones that got away, the almost-but-not-quite shots? I'd like a little reassurance that I'm not the only one who has those Homeresque 'Doh' moments. Here's my latest. For the last couple of weeks I've been trying to get a pic of one of these little...
