    Best setting for gigs

    I've taken my ZX1 to a couple fo gigs with differing results. The first (Jim Bob) was a tiny venue, relatively well lit, with just one person on stage and we were pretty close to the stage. Most of the shots I took were with Shutter Priority set to 1/125 and Auto ISO (resulting mostly in...

    Close ups through glass

    Just like the good old days

    My first photos were taken with an old Kodak something-or-other that used to be my Mum's. Probably form the 1960s. My Dad was an accomplished photographer and I still have his Leica M3 and multiple lenses. I graduated to a Nikon EM. For about 5 of 6 years I became notorious for always...
