    digital never looked so analogue

    June 4, 2010

    i love mega-trends. and i have been observing a trend in modern photography of late that i find particularly appealing and exciting. it’s analogue audiophiles are rediscovering vinyl records and tube amplifiers; photographers are rediscovering film and the idiosyncrancies of that medium and of lens and film types. Kodak film was known for it’s sometimes …

    first steps

    June 27, 2009

    When I first bought my new camera, I “knew” most of how to use it from old film camera days. I also knew digital photography had more potential over film and, I believe, is more flexible. That summer I bought two books on digital photography; Understanding RAW Photography by Andy Rouse, and The Ultimate Field Guide …

    50-500mm telephoto zoom

    May 30, 2009

    I was tempted to title this post “I need more money!” after one of Sarah Richardson’s comments from her “Sarah’s House” HGTV series when she realizes that, in order to get the look she wants in her home, she needs more money. Two things happened recently that have me bemoaning that same litany. Renting that …

    50-135mm telephoto zoom

    May 20, 2009

    I have been using a 20 year old film-type 35-105mm ƒ3.5-4.5 macro/zoom that my sister lent me just after I bought my K20D camera. This was one of the prime reasons I bought a Pentax … I can use lenses made for older (sometimes much older) Pentax film cameras. This lens was only made from …

    monitor calibration

    May 15, 2009

    When I started developing my web site, I knew that the right set of colours would be critical to it looking good and being easy to navigate. I also knew that I really liked the Adobe Lightroom interface colours; they put the images foremost, on a relatively neutral, high contrast background of dark grays and black. …

    my camera is a Pentax K20D

    May 10, 2009

    and she is a beaut! The K20D is a high end prosumer 14.6 megapixel digital SLR with a ¾ size APS-C sensor. It combines an 11 point AF system with a 16 segment exposure meter that supports multi-pattern, centre-weighted and spot metering. It is capable of ISO 6400 (although that is quite noisy), and the shutter tops …
