I’ve taken my family to Burley in the New Forest for a break. For those who don’t know, the New Forest is a National Park in southern England. It covers south-west Hampshire and extends into south-east Wiltshire and towards east Dorset. There are many villages dotted around the area, and several small towns in the …

I feel a bit like this building…
Run down and cracking up… I jest but I have had a few days in bed with a nasty bout of gastro-enteritis, hence my lack of any activity this week. I’ll hopefully be back in action with plenty of photos next week. Now I just need to summon up some energy to drink my tea …
Let it snow (again)
OK, so I take back my suggestion that it wouldn’t snow! Icing sugar at present but it doesn’t seem to be stopping… Taken with my GH3 and 12-35mm lens Update: having finally worked out how to export videos from Lightroom, here is a video of the snowfall complete with authentic noises of shivering in the …
Another trip to Whitecross Street
So again, I needed to drop a parcel in Whitecross Street, which is the nearest pickup point for the collect+ courier service “near” (or not so near) where I work. Nonetheless, if the street market is on it provides a great excuse for some fun street photography. You can really get into the crowds. Last …
Holy cow this camera is good (initial thoughts on the GH3)…
This is shaping up to be a very impressive camera. It’s a beast – size wise it’s as big width wise as a APS-C DSLR (though it is thinner). Grip is the most comfortable I’ve had in M43s including the G5. I can imagine holding this for hours without it being uncomfortable. The viewfinder is …
Nighttime photography with the Panasonic G5
I’ll be honest, I was expecting this to be a “aha, I’ve discovered the G5 is significantly worse than the E-M5 piece”. The summary is that it isn’t as good at high ISO, but that it is good enough for real world use for most purposes (and is certainly much better than cameras with the …
A visit to the Natural History Museum
I have been in love with London’s Natural History Museum in South Kensington ever since I was a small boy and I went on several school and family trips there. I developed a lifelong facination for Dinosaurs and other creatures as a result! Visiting it more recently, I began to appreciate the magnificent architecture of …
St Matthew’s Day at the Guildhall
This lunchtime I walked down to the London Guildhall to eat my lunch. When I arrived I could see some kind of event was in progress. Judging by the Rolls Royce limousines parked in the corner, the Lord Mayor was talking part. It turned out the event happening was the end of the annual St …
A circuitous walk to the Millennium Bridge with my G5
So today at lunchtime I wandered down to the “wobbly” Millenium bridge with my G5. I used my 12-35 and 7-14 with it. I have a suspicion that I prefer the output from the G5 to the E-M5 (sacrilege). Certainly it has worse DR, it isn’t as well screwed together, but it is fun to …
A Norfolk boat trip
So further to my last post, I am still on holiday in Norfolk. My partner and I decided that we wanted to take our son on a seal watching trip to Blakeney point, something we had done a month or two before he was born. I decided to put my M9 down and pick up …
