I've had the Z 50 for 2 weeks or so now and I think I made the right choice. However it has a couple of quirks that are annoying me and I don't know whether they are down to user error. 1 - I have energy saving disabled, but the screen and viewfinder both go dim after about 2 or 3 seconds...

The famous radio telescope dish of Jodrell Bank has been a landmark of the Cheshire countryside for 67 years. I last visited it about 28 years ago, since when a lot of money has been spent on the 'discovery centre' which explains the history of the dish and what it is used for. But the chief...

Classifieds Type For Sale Price GBP 155 Item Pentax SMC DA 21mm Limited Lens My Location UK Picture File(s) attached Description I bought this lens a couple of weeks ago as part of an experimental move back into the Pentax ecosystem. Sadly I found that it's not for me, so this is available...

I am seriously considering trading in my M43 gear (not that I have a huge amount these days) and getting back into Pentax. I always loved the colours and the handling of the cameras, and there are some serious bargains to be had now. A K5 for £150 for example, and many lenses at or below £100...

This is Digital Darkroom Derby #150, a digital image editing/processing challenge. These challenges are open to everyone. If you have any interest in practicing or improving your image editing and post-processing skills, please feel free to join in! Please read the rules here. Short version...

First few shots, taken with my E-M5 mk II. All shot at f2.8 or f4 and SOOC jpegs.

Prime day deal for 12 months. Code valid until 12th October (that may just be for me as my current 12 months expires then).

First photos with this lens on my E-M5.2. Inevitably at f1.4...I'll give it a bit more of a test tomorrow but the lens feels like a quality item. Solid metal construction and very smooth aperture and focus rings.

Well, since Silver Efex has its own thread, I thought it only fair that Color Efex should have a bit of the limelight. I'll kick it off.

We took young Stanley to the beach at Talacre in North Wales last week. Here's a few shots I took with the GF1 and Lumix 14mm/2.5 lens. Some editing in various products.

I was browsing some old photos on mu-43 (still a good archive for those of us with chronic lens indecisiveness syndrome) when this popped up...

I got this lens a few days ago. With the Panasonic GX80... And with the Olympus E-M1

In the last week or so, images have been taking longer and longer to load. Quite often my browser gives up and just shows a blank rectangle where the image should go. I don't know if this is just because I mostly look at the site on a tablet running Android 8, but all the browsers I've tried are...

So, we had our week and a bit in Scotland. I drove 1100 miles and we ate a lot of haddock! I also took quite a few photos...here are a few of them. First stop - Stirling where we visited the Bannockburn memorial and the old town Next stop - the county (sorry, "Kingdom") of Fife. Culross...

I took a stroll around the village to stretch my legs, in a gap between the showers (first rain for 17 days!) this evening, and revisited the Kultcamera app on my phone. I had a blast! I can't remember which combination of camera, film and lens each photo used, though.

As a companion piece to my evening at the seaside, here are a few shots from the titular event, restarting after last year's enforced absence. I'm not really a bike fan but I do like to see fine machinery and interesting people. My weapon of choice was the E-M1.1 with the Olympus 14-150 II.

We've just had a very pleasant weekend with our friends in Hornsea on the Yorkshire coast. I took my RX100M4 for a stroll one evening...Some are SOOC, others edited in Lightroom from RAW. The fish & chips was delicious by the way!

A walk around Wells, England's smallest city with one of its most impressive cathedrals. NB city in England historically meant a town with a cathedral although this has been relaxed a bit in recent years as more towns have been awarded city status. Anyway I digress... the front of the cathedral...

We spent a couple of nights away in North Wales, on the island of Anglesey. The weather for the first day and a half was glorious and the scenery matched it. En route we stopped at Bodnant Gardens near Conwy. The holiday cottage was in the little village of Cemaes. The walking around there...

Some great photos here by Robert Blomfield The Guardian

Following these instructions I manipulated a few images. It was easier once I recorded an action in PS, not that it's too difficult anyway. Here are some of the better results.

This made me laugh anyway! “under the social influence”

Some very nice shots here, and quite subtle for infrared too. The Guardian

These were taken at the Lovell Quinta Arboretum in Cheshire. We (wife & I) took the chance to meet our son outdoors before he goes into the Johnson lockdown for Manchester and has to virtually hibernate until all this unpleasantness goes away. I just hope that there is an official Christmas...

Another great set of photos in the Guardian here

If I click on an image in a thread (click? tap? press? whatever the correct term is anyway), I only see the top half of the image. Occasionally rotating the screen to portrait and back to landscape fixes it, but mostly not. I’m using Chrome on iPad OS 13.6. Update - the problem is only on...

Some great shots in today’s article in The Guardian

I've just got this lens so these are very initial comments. Firstly, wow, it's a solid, heavy beast of a lens. It must be milled from solid adamantine, I reckon. Here it is next to the 35-100 (admittedly tiny) lens that came at the same time. Second comment - as you move the focussing ring, it...

This is a garden created largely from an old quarry. It really comes alive in the summer, but in the spring sunshine today it was still very appealing. All Lumix G7, Panasonic 12-60 lens.

Classifieds Type For Sale Price GBP 29.99 Item 4 rolls of Acros 100 (36exp), expiry 6/2019 and 7/2019 My Location UK Picture File(s) attached Description I have more film than I can realistically use, and these are recently expired rolls that should go to a better home. They may be expired...

@Kevin has this been turned off somewhere again? I recall it happening before once or twice.

A question that often strikes me is: if a 35mm film camera can be made as tiny as an Olympus XA, then why can't a "full frame" digital camera with a fixed lens be equally small? And in the same vein, can't a micro four thirds ILC be as small as a Pentax Auto 110? The electronic gubbins can't be...

Taken with the Panasonic G7...

Latest scans back from Silverpan (and edited in Luminar 3). I think the Orca B&W is a nicer film, plus the little Auto 110 shoots 200 at 100 so they get a bit overexposed, and there isn’t the latitude to correct completely. That said, given the size of the camera these aren’t too bad.

Erddig (the welsh dd is a voiced th, like in “this”), is an estate in North Wales near Wrexham. It’s been restored by the National Trust since being left to them in a semi-derelict state in the 1960s. All photos taken with my RX100m3. From the garden (yes I like symmetry!) Some flowers...

Got to BundleHunt , unlock the offer for $5, and then it’s $3 more for Luminar 2018. In my experience, far more stable than Luminar 3, although without any library functions. (Mac only).

The local Arts association (of which my wife & myself are members) were allowed a wander around the nearby allotments today. Here’s a selection of shots. I found the interest was not so much in the vegetables being grown - hence not many photos of cabbages and squashes - but in the dedication to...

Once a mental asylum, and briefly a military hospital, this was originally the home of Victorian plant collector James Bateman. He created a flamboyant mixture of gardens, buildings and landscaping to represent the Himalayas, Egypt, Japan, and China. It’s now a National Trust property, and is...

Right, I’ve followed the various online tutorials about using infrared filters. I’ve set my white balance before taking the shots, and done the channel swap in Photoshop, but all the images still just look a reddish/pink mess. I suspect the Lumix G7 actually doesn’t see IR light, since I can’t...

Theatre yesterday... A strange experience as I opted for a spinal block & sedation. I started coming round part way through the op. Couldn't feel a thing but there was lots of hammering going on! The hospital is an orthopaedic centre do it has 11 theatres all going at once. It's a cacophony of...

I just got an email saying that Australian customers are getting their kit delivered already, Europe and US just starting. @MoonMind are you a definite buyer? I wouldn’t mind hearing how someone else gets on with this before I commit!

Here's a couple I took just now. I picked up some LR presets from Serge Ramelli which seemed to suit these shots. Taken on my X-E2 btw. Two posts by Martin Connolly, on Flickr Blue reflections by Martin Connolly, on Flickr
