This little fella is a great camera. It certainly has its limitations (the biggest being its fixed 35mm equivalent lens) and strengths (the biggest being its 35mm equivalent lens). OK, I’m contradicting myself, why? Really, there is nothing wrong with the 35mm focal length, other than if coupled with a slightly slower focus – you …

Jack Frost is here…
Just a few images of the amazing frosts we’ve had in the last few days – it’s been stunning to look at!
A journey down memory lane…
I recall a young law student, later trainee solicitor, who lived in a “dodgy” flat in Highbury (actually next to Canonbury, then British Rail now Overground, Station), with about 52,000 other people… OK I exaggerate, but it felt like that on occasion. In 2000 I was looking for a place to live and hooked up …
Alexandra Palace
I pass “Ally Pally” every day on the way to work. It is an inspiring building, particularly in the sun. Today I found myself awake at 6:45am, the legacy of a dodgy self made curry the night before. Rather than trying to get back to sleep I decided to take advantage of the golden hour …
Huddersfield Canal
This week I found myself in Huddersfield. While I didn’t have a lot of time to take photos, I did go for two walks in the morning down the canal which ran past my hotel. Of course I took my GH3 with me. I had intended to swap between the 7-14 and the 12-35 but …
GH3 with more lenses in the winter sun
Again, we’ve spent most of the week either in murk or rain here in London. Today, a fiery ball in the sky appeared so I set off to run the GH3 through its paces with some different lenses. With apologies that these cover old subjects – I had intended to go to Somerset House but …
Some more shots with the GH3
This is a short post, really just to show what I’m pulling out of the GH3 IQ wise and to make a few more comments. The wifi functionality, which isn’t even running properly yet, is great. The ability to be able to hook up an ipad or android tablet as a remote viewfinder is just …
A guy, a girl and a dinosaur…
I should start by saying that I’m a cynical so and so and I regularly shake my head at the seeming madness of modern life. This week I (unintentionally) became part of a story that heartened me and cheered me up no end. The background So, to rewind, back in October I took some days …
A walk in the park with my E-PL5
There isn’t a lot of research or amazing landscapes for this post, it’s more of the same from the E-PL5. I did pick up the black 12mm for it and it does look great on the camera. I did almost send it back though because I noticed that people could still see me and the …
The Empire Strikes Back: The British Museum with my M9
The regular visitors among you may realise that recently I visited the British Museum with my E-PL5. While there (and I did only have about 30-40 minutes last time) I decided I wanted to come back and (naturally enough) look at more of the exhibits, but also to spend more time capturing the people visiting …
