    Nikon Showcase A day on the beach

    I recently picked up a Nikon AW1 for a South Pacific cruise coming up in a few weeks. It's first outing was to Stockton Beach on Boxing Day. It was overcast on the day, though very warm! I didn't get the opportunity to get it wet, though that will surely come during my cruise. Camels on...

    Couples with cameras

    I was out today with family looking though a local historical farm house, and snapped these couple of shots which struck a chord with me. The first one struck home because it reminds me of how I chat away with my lovely wife about photography, all the long while she politely acknowledges me...

    DxO v Camera JPG Sample

    I have recently been using DxO on some of my processing of shots from my E-P5. Just as a comparison for those interested, I thought I'd share this shot taken at ISO800 in very late afternoon sunlight today with the Oly 40-150. The Camera JPG is taken using the Natural setting, everything else...

    Hiding ugly escalators the James Bond way

    These have obviously been present every time I've been in the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney, though I've never noticed them until I had to use them today. I started getting a headache staring at them. It reminds me of the invisible car in James Bond 'Die Another Day' (an Aston Martin I...

    Bargain Sony A3500 - Australian buyers

    I know it's a pretty basic camera, and fairly dull specs, however for $299 or less, the Sony A3500 seems like an absolute bargain for an APSC camera. I'm thinking as it's an e-mount, it could be paired with something like the Sigma 30mm 2.8 which can be had here for $170! Perhaps I'm missing...

    Sydney in vivid colour

    So I eventually got around to joining the millions of other people taking photographs of Sydney over the past two weeks of the Vivid Sydney festival. It was an excellent if not a little cool walk across the city and bridge. I have a new appreciation for wearing a scarf now. I have around 20...

    Ye Olde Medieval Fayre

    A few random shots that I snapped today wandering around the Medieval Fayre at Blacktown in Sydney today with the family. It's been running for 10 years now, and I never knew it. Can't wait for next years. Lots of fun! I mostly used the E-P5 with 14-42 II R. A couple with the X100s...

    I see SC is up to 4999 members this morning. It's sure to click over to 5k any moment. If it were me, I'd call myself 5000 or 5K.

    Is there a 12 step program for camera addicts?

    I've made it to step one already, I admit I have a camera addition. Now to get everything I have except for my Fuji & M43 gear on eBay over the coming two weekends. Any motivation accepted. I'm going to find this very difficult (Though am so looking forward to having a 12-40 2.8) I'm...

    Autumn colour in Australia

    For all those of you in the north, I thought you might enjoy some of our Autumn at this time of year. This is a quick stitch of frames taken last weekend in the Blue Mountains a short drive west of Sydney. This is the second time I've shot this scene, the first time being last year. I think...

    Sony Excited all over again for my RX100 after a big day out.

    I found myself wandering around Sydney yesterday with my better half and daughter, and wanted to take something really small with me for the day as I knew it would be a long. My RX100 was the obvious choice. I tend to gravitate towards my larger Fuji X series gear, even when I really don't want...

    Sony Sony NEX 3n with Sigma 60mm 2.8 DN

    Just picked up a NEX 3n and the 60mm 2.8 on the spur of the moment today due to what I think was a ridiculously low price. I took a quick shot @ f2.8 with it on the way home. Given it's tiny price, I'm very happy with the sharpness of these little bargains, even wide open. I've read the 19mm...

    Just a little fun with two very different cameras

    Just a little fun comparing a couple of very different camera systems... I was bored at the time. Not trying to make much of a point. I found these shots and thought I'd post them before I permanently deleted them. OK, I know you can probably cheat this (Try not to). I think it's pretty...

    What should I take with me?

    OK. I've been around long enough and had enough gear not to have to ask this question, but I'm never adverse to common sense and objectivity, which I often lack. So I thought, where better to ask for objective advice? In two weeks I'm taking the family and some friends for a walk in the Snowy...

    Fuji My Fuji XF 35 needed some love & attention

    So I took it to visit a new spot I photographed during the day some weeks ago... But this time at night. A lovely hill, soft grass to sit on, great weather, beautiful view. Such a quiet & romantic spot for me and my XF 35 to get re-acquainted.

    Nikon Problem with 10-30 on Nikon 1 V1

    I am having an issue with my 10-30mm kit on a V1. It seems to be related to a loose connection or faulty on / off button on the lens. I haven't found too much online except one comment pointing to the possible lens issue causing this. When I pick up or move the camera, it turns on...

    Hi from Sydney

    Hello everyone, I found this forum from a link on Mu-43. As I have a few different compacts (not just M43 now), it's been great to look around in here. I hope to spend more time reading and discussing our great smaller cameras. Cheers,
