E-P5

by

It’s about time I got around to writing this, I’ve had the E-P5 for a couple of months now. I ended up with one primarily because I wanted the Olympus 17mm lens in black, which wasn’t available at the time in the UK, unless it was part of a kit. Let’s tackle the biggest issue …

Touit to-woo

by

Cheesy title I know, but bizarrely enough I found myself testing out my Zeiss Touit lenses at Hall Place, a stunning Tudor House and Gardens between Crayford and Bexleyheath and found a great display of display of owls… The house dates back to around 1540 when wealthy merchant Sir John Champneys, a former Lord Mayor …

British Museum with my E-PL5

by

Now I am a bit more used to my E-PL5, I appreciate more of its finer points rather than its deficiencies. No one looks at it (I have a black model). I’ve never really believed the colour of lenses makes much of a difference to whether people notice you and your camera, but I do …

Impressions of the E-PL5

by

I bought an E-PL5 on a spur of the moment thing. I had sold my E-P3 a couple of weeks back, I missed it and I found a decent price body only on the E-PL5 and thought “what the hell”. Unfortunately, my first impressions were poor. The screen seemed tiny in comparision to either the …

Covent Garden

by

Today I took my E-PL5 to Covent Garden together with my 12, 25 and 75mm lenses. Covent Garden is a district in London on the eastern fringes of the West End, between St. Martin’s Lane and Drury Lane. It is associated with the former fruit and vegetable market in the central square, now a popular …

Meeting my parents for a family lunch

by

Today we went to Playhatch, near Reading, to meet up with my parents. They live in Wales about 3 hours drive away so, given our use of Skype, I’m pretty convinced that our son Daniel thinks my parents are characters in a computer game… In any event it was lovely to catch up. As ever …

London Wall by Tower Hill

by

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

by

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 …

Cambridge for a picnic

by

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 …
