So a week or two ago Fujifilm announced its new middle of the range camera, the X-E1 which apparently resolved all the AF issues that the X-Pro1 has AND also announced that the X-Pro1 would get all of these AF improvements by way of a firmware upgrade on 18 September. That’s today incase you had …

The Swans of Verulamium Park with my X-Pro1
Look, I realise the title is rubbish… Never mind. Today we visited St Albans (more difficult than usual as the road to the M25 is being resurfaced). I decided to take along my X-Pro1. I apologise now that I have precisely zero interesting shots of anything interesting from the park other than Swans (and an …
The people of St Pauls
Having failed to bring my G5 with me today for some testing with the 7-14 (battery, what battery??) I did at least have my E-M5 with me. I wanted a walk at lunchtime for a bit of exercise and so I decided to head down to St Paul’s cathedral. I couldn’t really be bothered to …
Trafalgar Square
First of two posts this evening. First of all, yesterday I visited Trafalgar Square in central London. The evening before I had been telling some poor guy he needed to visit the square with a UWA lens, so I decided to take my new 9-18 down there. I was very happy with the output from …
London Wall by Tower Hill
So I should probably mention at the outset that the main offices of the firm I work for are on London Wall. A street in London named after the wall that used to surround the historic city of London. I hadn’t given it too much thought to be frank. Today I was looking for ideas …
Olympics Parade
Olympics Parade, a set on Flickr. Slideshow available through the “Olympics Parade” link under the block of pictures above. The official parade of British medallists and other competitors took place today in London, commencing near Bank, not far from where I work. I ventured down armed with my E-M5. Unfortunately I had forgotten the parade …
A walk through rural North London
The farmland where I photographed the wheatfield last week is part of Rectory Farm in Enfield. For a year or two it has lain fallow but this year it has been planted as an arable farm. I believe I once found a post on google stating it was a Dairy farm prior to the devastating …
A trip to Lee Valley Park Farms with my X-Pro1 (and some thoughts on the X-Pro1)
I decided my X-Pro1 was looking a bit underloved. It wasn’t getting any use and I had even been wondering if I should sell it. I wasn’t very inspired by the new Fuji offering announced yesterday, the X-E1, but but it did make me think about taking my X-Pro1 out for once. As we were …
Cambridge for a picnic
The city of Cambridge is a university town and the administrative centre of the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It lies in East Anglia, on the River Cam, about 50 miles (80 km) north of London. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although city status was not conferred until 1951. I’ve loved Cambridge …
Charlotte Dujardin’s golden postbox
Came across this on my way back from the post office to pick up a parcel this afternoon. It’s painted gold in honour of Charlotte Dujardin, the British double gold medalist and dressage rider at the 2012 Olympics. Charlotte was born in Enfield which is where this postbox is located. M9 and Summilux 50 ASPH …
