GH3 and my new black Oly 75mm

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 …

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 …

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 …
