I went up to a favourite scenic spot (Surprise View, Derbyshire) last night to try and catch a decent sunset with my X Pro 1 and E-M10 - weather forecast looked good for it. Of course come the hour come the clouds but rather than abandon the trip I thought I would at least see if I could get...

One of the things that attracted me to MILC's (and in particular the E-M10 due to IBIS) is the amount of cheap legacy glass out there. Sure most of it is not as sharp as modern system specific glass but then a lot of it can be had for next to nothing. I fancied a 35mm film SLR and found one...

Sometimes a photo that I intended to be a colour shot works better in black and white. This sunset is one such shot

I wanted to capture a reminder of just how small my little boy still is - you forget when you see them growing up fast that they are still so little. A visit to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park gave me a couple of opportunities to capture this. Both taken with my X Pro 1 and XF 18mm...

I had an enforced trip to Liverpool a few weeks ago and once again the weapon of choice was the GRD IV. God I love this camera - truly a take anywhere device with lovely IQ and sublime handling. As a new street / urban shooter it is ideal as it just gets out of the way and lets me concentrate...

Now I have a toddler I have far less opportunities to get out into the countryside to do landscapes. With this in mind and given the price I could get one for I thought I would pick up a GRD IV and have a go at some street / urban. My first attempts can be seen here: Manchester Archive...

or is the sky full of birds?!

So, having already moved to the dark side by swapping out my Sony A77 for a MILC (X Pro 1 and went MILC for no other reason than at the moment it fits my shooting needs better than an SLR/SLT)) I have now secured my place on the 4th or 5th level of hell by purchasing an OM-D E-10. The thing...

I admit defeat!! Having swore that I would never get rid of my dSLR (well ok dSLT but same thing - Sony A77 for the record) having shot with my new Ricoh GRD IV and Sigma DP2M I realised how liberating it was to have high quality cameras I could actually carry around most if not all of the...

Hi all There are a couple of deals from Adobe at the moment in the UK at least that may of interest to people. LR5 for £72 and this is what I was going for until I saw they are offering a sub to Photoshop AND LR combined via Creative Cloud for £8.78 inc vat p/m fixed for 12 months. At...

Have been playing around with my new DP2M and from the research I did beforehand it seemed that SPP and Iridient are the only 2 apps that will process X3F files. Given that Iridient costs and SPP doesn't I was happy to stick with SPP even though it is a bit clunky. Now, I use Fasttone...

Hi all Just thought I would introduce myself and give a little background my journey to serious compacts. I have been interested in photography for years and have had various cameras both film and digital over the years but I guess I starting getting serious about it when my sister long...
