The Face in the Tree

Clactonian posted a topic in Other, 24 March, 2020

A few weeks back I 'enjoyed' a field trip with the RPS to the Open University campus in Milton Keynes. I say enjoy because storm Dennis was raging at the time and I did get very wet and battered. It was nevertheless very interesting though not as productive as hoped.

I love modular things, which might explain why the SLR camera system became so attractive to me exactly 20 years ago.

17.5 Square Meters

Dallas posted an entry in AOV General, 29 February, 2020

Originally this was the dining room of our rented house when we moved here in 2008. At that time I had set up my office-come-studio in the most eastern part of the house, which with two big windows facing east and north is the sunniest room in the house. It was in that space that I began my unintended career as a website developer and photographer.

In this first segment I will be looking at the field of wedding and event photography.

A short expedition with the village of Barabanovo.

Alex Duskman posted a topic in Places, 25 January, 2020

In general, I have long wanted to look at such a rarity in our region as a wooden temple. And then Sergey Medvedev suggested going somewhere, breathing air, and even so, would scatter. And why not in Drum?

Cape Town Is Different

Dallas posted an article in Travel Zone, 15 January, 2020

Cape Town is different. While it sits at the toe of the African continent, visitors to this city might be forgiven for thinking that they have arrived somewhere else entirely.

Looking Ahead To 2020

Dallas posted an entry in AOV General, 31 December, 2019

For me 2019 was a year with a lot of highs and a few lows. The highs outweighed the lows so I have no complaints.

Another view of my city.

Alex Duskman posted a topic in Places, 27 December, 2019

The city is being intensively updated. Not everything flies at once, not everything goes smoothly. But locations with harmonious architectural solutions are already steadily appearing.

Nothing quite like the original...

Alan7140 posted a topic in Analog Photography, 26 December, 2019

I admit to finding some amusement in many Facebook photography groups reading peoples' posts on their quests to obtain lenses with "classic bokeh" (for want of a better description) for their digital cameras, and manufacturers responding with increasingly more pricey and exotic lens designs...

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm F4-5.5 II Power OIS: the affordable bird-watcher super zoom lens!

danielm posted a topic in Micro Four Thirds, 22 November, 2019

Is the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm F4-5.6 II Power OIS zoom lens the ultimate super telephoto for less than $900CAN? A look into the latest Panasonic MFT lens line-up seems to confirm this assertion. But what about the qualities of this specialized telephoto zoom lens?

And yet another modification...

Alan7140 posted a topic in Analog Photography, 14 November, 2019

I can't express adequately just how convenient and easy it is to modify some of the older film equipment in ways one couldn't even begin to contemplate with modern digital cameras. This sort of thing was standard practice when I started photography as a profession in the early 1970's.

Using The iPad Pro As A Laptop

Dallas posted an entry in On Equipment, 8 November, 2019

So, I have gone a little bit googly-eyed over my iPad Pro 11". At first, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t loving it all that much and it didn’t take long for buyer’s remorse to set in when I got it home.

Learning how to use tools again

Alan7140 posted a topic in Analog Photography, 25 October, 2019

Rediscovering the thing that went missing with digital as far as modifying and re-hashing the actual equipment is concerned, the old cameras really do enable a hands-on ability to shape things the way you want without having to have a degree in computer science or electronics.
