Testing out the NEX 5n

I traded in my old little NEX 3 for a 5n at the weekend and picked up a 50mm f1.8 at the same time (note Sony are doing cashback offers on a range of cameras and lenses here in the UK at the moment - that tipped the balance for me). This combo is great for a little discrete street photography... htt...

Competition Winner

I'm on a roll this month... I joined a local photo club in Kent (UK) - Medway DSLR Club in Gillingham last year. Its a new club so not so serious and more friendly to newcomers than some of the more established, competition orientated clubs. Last night was the end of the year's league comp.. and I c...

HMS Ocelot at the Historic Dockyard, Chatham, Kent

I was recently at the dockyard and created the following shot from a series of handheld exposures to create a HDR image.. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8013/7188749692_14d9e23cb0_b.jpg It just so happened that the Dockyard was celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the building of the Ocelot. The galle...

Re: UK Focus on Imaging Show 2012 (March 4-7, Birmingham NEC

I think it's important makers attend these events. The absence and "no benefit" stuff does not convince me at all. I totally agree.. all I would say is that a friend of mine said his company looked into having a stand a while back and the price was just far, far too high to justify it.. w...

UK Focus on Imaging Show 2012 (March 4-7, Birmingham NEC)

Anyone heard about Sony attending the big show at the NEC next week? Sony are currently conspicuous by their absence in terms of trade stands or event at the show. Last year they put on a big display stand, in part to offset the complete surprise absence of Canon. We don't get many big Photo shows i...

A few more bird shots from this weekend (at the wildlife island on the Thames in Reading - I've now gotten into the routine of always taking my camera with me as I go shopping in Reading - parking my car next to the river, wandering into town via this short scenic route :-) A77 / 70-300G lens https:...

Re: Corel bought out Bibble

FWIW, I got an email today informing me I'm eligible for a free upgrade to Aftershot - I'm not a big bibble user but I bought the lite version last November because my ageing laptop couldn't handle lightroom and i needed a portable a77 raw processor. The only downside is I have to phone corel to get...
