I wanted to get back to my semi-high key wood anemones from Sunday. I liked the composition in this one with the foreground flower asymmetrically mirrored in the oof flower on the right (if it’s possible to ”asymmetrically mirror” anything?), plus the open white space above. In Lightroom, I muted the colour in the leaves…

Compact cameras have quite awesome closest focusing distances. I mean, how many SLRs with macro lenses can brag with CFD of 1cm? So compact cameras must be really good at macro, right? Pur-lease. Honestly, what’s the point of focusing at 1cm when you have to do it at wide angle? But I’m sure everyone who’s…

Yesterday I mentioned that I was disappointed when I found that out of two locations, the better one was the one which was harder to get at. Is that really how lazy I am? That I’m disappointed because I have to walk an extra kilometre and climb a bit more? What’s really disappointing is that…

I was only supposed to write three posts about film, but that was before I actually got the camera. It feels like I’m more excited about my 2nd hand film camera than I was with my brand new 40D! So I picked it up last night and the first impression when I was unpacking it…

Great news from Olympus – now we can just hope that the other camera manufacturers are equally smart! 12 MP really is enough, what we need is to get more out of those pixels than more of them. Less noise and more dynamic range and I’ll be shopping for a new camera again!

Maybe so far I’ve made it sound like going back to film is all good, so I’ll talk about the caveats now. There are some things where digital beats film (and I don’t mean cost and instant feedback etc that I’ve already talked about), and some of these I will miss. The possibility of changing…

Recently I’ve been thinking about digital noise and wondering if it’s time for me to switch to full frame. But every digital camera has noise, the only difference is how the photographer sees it. My noise threshold is low, probably because the digital noise seems too patterned to me. Film grain on the other hand…

I’m going to do something radical – go back to film! Ok ok, not really going back but I will get a film camera again. I think I once mentioned half kidding that I want a medium format camera (2nd hand kits come cheap these days), but now I decided to settle with 35mm. The…

Today I was notified that someone had stolen my pictures, this is the first time I’ve known of it to happen. The person who emailed me had several of her pictures displayed on this same site, but she asked if I could help in stopping the thief permanently. The site is full of images ripped…

You’re not gonna believe this but… I just got myself a compact camera, Canon PowerShot G10 to be exact. I have wanted a small portable camera for a long time now. The 40D is no lightweight, neither is the 24-105mm zoom lens. Put these together and you’re dealing with a big and heavy camera. There…
