It was a lovely day today and we decided to visit the Arnhem Open Air Museum. It is a collection of Dutch buildings through the ages, all carefully taken apart and re-assembled on the museum site. The buildings range from windmills to farms to town houses to train stations and everything in...

Apologies for being a day late, but today I went out and try to take a few pictures that would hopefully keep you guessing a little. I have no idea if this is a difficult one or not, I for sure probably would not recognise it if I had not seen it live today...:) Each member gets one guess...

We had a small spell of winter here just after Christmas, so I went for a walk with the GR to capture some of the winter-wonderland, which is getting more and more rare for The Netherlands in the last years. It was already close to sunset and the sky turned a dark blue almost, but the GR seemed...

I spent a few days in Vienna last week and took the GR only. It was a little challenging due to the fixed focal length of course but I find you adjust and start to look a little differently at the world (or Vienna in this case). It is a beautiful city with great architecture, good food, friendly...

I live in the city of Eindhoven in The Netherlands, which is often referred to as The City of LIght, due to the fact that it is the birthplace of the electronics company Philips, that started over a hundred years ago as a producer of lightbulbs, and still today is a major player in (industrial)...

We spent a day at the Castle of Arcen and its gardens in the south of The Netherlands. It is a great place for a walk, with themed gardens in all sorts and sizes (and a small castle and koi pond as well..:)) I took the Fuji X-E1 and the 18-55 (my only lens for the system anyway), I...

I was on a cruise recently and had a day on the ship at sea, so was just hanging around a little when I noticed the paterns of the deck chairs.. I had my GR handy and took some pictures which I converted to B&W when I got home. It is just an exercise in patterns and structures, but I like one or...

I took a two week cruise along the Norwegian coast last recently, visiting amongst other places Oslo, Geiranger, Stavanger, Flam and Bergen. I carried my Fuji X-A1 with just the 18-55 lens (I like to travel light and in fact that is the only lens I have for that camera anyway), and the GR for...

Hi All, Just spent 12 days in Norway on a Fjord cruise, visiting amongst others places like Bergen, Alesund, Flam, Geiranger and Oslo... Below are some of the pictures from that trip all taken with the X-A1, and all with the 18-55 lens (my only lens actually, so no anxiety about choosing the...

Just found the first pictures online of the new Canon G1X mark 2. While the specs sound very nice (large sensor, 24-120 lens with 2.0-3.9 aperture) i am a little disappointed that Canon decided to enter the "smaller is better' race by the looks of it (probably to compete with the RX100). I Would...

Spent a few days in the south-west of France, in the village of Carcassonne, A lovely old city, great for some photo opportunities. Since a short time I only carry compact cameras, these were taken with the RX100 and GR. The weather was not great so it is a mix of colour and BW, hope you like...

Went for a short break recently to the Croatian coast, and took along my only two remaining cameras, the RX100M2 and the GR. I had expected to use the Ricoh most with the Sony as back up, turned out it was the other way around actually. Most often I decided to just take 1 camera on walks and...

After trying several system camera's I have come to the conclusion I don't really care for changing lenses and I don't really care for carrying a shoulder bag, even if only a small and light one. So I decided to go "all serious compact" and purchased the RX100 to go alongside my GR. I went for...

I went for my first trip with the GR today, came back with some nice colorful shots, funnily enough mainly shot inside a store, where I guess the fact that I was using such a small camera did not really bother them as much as a big DSLR would have..:) Anyway, these are OoC Jpeg's with just a...

Received my GR last week. It is still nowhere to be found in Holland as far as I can tell so I decided to import it from Germany. I used to own the GRD III several years ago so using and feeling the GR after these years was a sort of homecoming that probably only other Ricoh users will...

Just spent a few days in the Mosel area in Germany, one of my favorite holiday destinations; great views, wonderful nature and of course some great wines..:) As I do not like to carry too much gear when on vacation I just took my nikon P7700, which is a very versatile camera for travelling. Hope...

Just saw this rumor floating around the internet. If true that sounds like a very interesting concept. faster lens and built in viewfinder... They would probably need to make the camera a little bigger though, which suits me just fine actually, but might not be to everybody's liking. Rumors...

I picked up a cheap Olympus OM 3.5 135mm lens last week (my very first ever adapted lens), and went out today with my X-E1 for a little walk to see if I could get any decent pictures out of it. First impressions are that the manual focussing take a little getting used to, especially with any...

Looks like Spring has finally arrived, I went for a little walk todat with my recently bought X-E1, with the 35mm attached. Wanted to get some nature shots to see what those Fuji colors are all about...:) These are all SOOC JPegs, I had the film simulator set to Velvia, to give the colors a...

Hi All, I recently received my X-E1 with the 35mm lens and am looking to get something in the moderate tele range. I am not a very regular tele user, so the upcoming 55-200 zoom is likely a little overkill for me (both in size as in price probably). I was thinking of getting a small tele...

And part 2 of my first pictures with the X-E1...

I received my X-E1 a few days ago, and went out for a walk today with the new camera. So far I only have the 35mm lens, so all pictures taken with that lens obviously. All Jpeg, with the B&W's converted in Silver Efex. Apparently I can only add 10 pictures per post, so this is part 1, for the...

Hello to all, Some of you may know me from the Mu43 and / or Serious Compacts sites... I have been an M43 user for a few years now, as well as a regular user of smaller compacts for light travel (currently a Nikon P7700). I have been looking at the Fuji X camera's for a while now and today...

I escaped the wet winter in my hometown and went to Malta for Christmas, only taking my P7700 to see if I could live without my system camera. Attached some pictures, all Jpeg, processed in LR3, with Silver FX for the B&W conversions. Hope you like one or two...

I took a trip to Vienna in the past week, first ever visit. Beautiful city to walk around, especially with the Christmas season coming up. Unfortunately the weather was a little grey, so I converted most pictures to B&W. All pictures taken with Nikon P7700. Thanks for looking, hope you like...

I recently bought a Nikon P7700, for use on those occasions when I don't really want to carry my Mu43 camera and lenses. The Nikon just fits in a small pouch on my belt, has very decent specifications and is a joy to use due to its formfactor and abundance of external controls. These were shot...

As the lucky winner of the last challenge I have been thinking about an in interesting theme for the 8th salon challenge. After going over dozens of specific themes I decided to make the subject a little broader and I choose "The Letter S" as this salon's theme. Show me a picture of anything...

It was a great sunny day today so went for a walk in a local park and decided to only take the S100 for a change. Hope you like one or two, thanks for looking!

Just noticed this link, seems like the Fuji X-E1 is shipping now, for once Europe seems to be early.. Fuji X-E1 now shipping in Europe | Photo Rumors I just checked a Dutch internet store and it is indeed shown as in stock... mighty tempted...:)

I took a walk around the buildings of the local University today. The University focusses on technical studies, with special emphasis on solar power and other sustainable energy sources. I decided to take my S100 as to not be burdened with a bigger camera and the need (or desire) to change...

A colleague of mine was kind enough to lend me his XR100 today, so I took some pics whilst travelling home from work. I tried to take some varied shots to test the camera, and I have to say it was a pleasant surprise (or more confirmation of what I have read already in the various test and...

A colleague of mine was kind enough to lend me his PL25 last weekend, so I went out for a walk with just that lens on my E-PL3 to take some pictures. Despite it being a little bigger than my own Panny 20mm I thought the lens handled very well on my Oly, just the right size to act as a good...

Just got back from 2 weeks in Norway, a beautiful country requiring loads of Gigabytes in your camera...:) I thought I would share a few pictures (first rough selection), this is the black and white part, will very likely post a bunch of color ones as well soon if anybody is interested... All...

It was a very nice day today, so I took my bike and went for a nice ride around my hometown to shoot some pictures... All pics taken with E-PL2 and E-PL3, lenses used Samyang 7.5, Oly 9-18, Oly 14-42 and Oly 40-150. Hope you enjoy one or two, thanks for looking!

After posting some pictures with the NEX and PEN cameras, today I finally processed some of my pictures taken with Canon S100. First impressions: I am maybe a little spoiled with the bigger sensors from Oly and Sony, sharpness and detail is definitely not on par with these camera's, but no shame...

Took a trip to Moscow last week, great city for photo opportunities. Especially the metro system is absolutely wonderful, although very crowded and almost impossible to get a "clean" shot... Anyway, I attach a small selection of some B&W and color shots, hope you like one or two. Mostly taken...

As promised in my first post yesterday I went out for a photo shoot with my new NEX 5N. Destination was a historical open air museum in my hometown of Eindhoven in The Netherlands, with reconstructions of stone age, bronze age and early medieval houses and settlements. All pictures taken with...

Hello all from The Netherlands! I have been a member of the M43 site for some months (using Oly E-PL2 and E-PL3), have learned a lot and seen some great pictures. Just out of curiosity I bought a NEX 5n today to see what that can do for me...so decided to join this site as well. My favorite...
