“A walk through a farm” is guaranteed to have UK based readers think of a straw chewing farmer shouting “GET OFF MY LAND”. However, that is of course a fictional stereotype. Most farmers aren’t like the stereotype and most are familiar with the many rights of way that dot the British countryside (and particularly so …

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 …
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 …
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 …
Panasonic G5, 12-35mm and 35-100mm in Whitecross Street Market (plus Royal Exchange and Trent Park)
This started out as a post which was designed to re-run my comparisons with the 35-100mm and the E-M5 with the G5. First impressions with the E-M5: http://wp.me/p2wMAg-g9 Further images with the E-M5: http://wp.me/p2wMAg-ge I thought I could do that quickly over the weekend via a trip to the park. Of course the weather and life intervened, …
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 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 …
Olympic Torch Relay – City of London
So I had spent the last however long laughing at the torch relay. I couldn’t really understand what the fuss was about. Today it hit the city and, thanks to a delay to my train (thanks First Capital Connect), I wasn’t able to make it to St Pauls in time to see the torch relay …
