So I’m officially a fashion victim. I decided that a GH3 with silver lenses mounted just looked odd. In particular I’ve been lusting after the Olympus 75mm lens in black rather than silver. It’s always stuck me as a lens that would be great for stills and video. I found the black version for a …

Compare and contrast of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and Panasonic GH3
I ended up writing the below post on a forum in response to a DSLR owner, who for health reasons was considering a move to micro four thirds. The chap concerned, perfectly reasonably, had decided that he was going to make the move from a Nikon D800 setup to a E-M5. For reasons I’m not …
Ponies galore…
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
