Shooting in Paris: Day Three
Thanks to some truly awful weather in London today, I’m almost done with the Paris pics. There is a ‘day 4′, but they’re mostly personal travel snaps that I won’t publish here. Read more →

Doing some maintenance – apologies for RSS spam
Hi guys – I’m plugging the reviews and photo walks on my old website into the categories on my new one, and in the case of the photo walks moving the entire posts across. In both cases this is unfortunately resulting in a fresh RSS feed entry. Bear with me – spamming and repetition aren’t my style!
Camera overload at Photokina
There’s a lot coming out of the Photokina conference today. Unfortunately I have a day job so I suggest you head over to The Verge, my favourite tech website, for highlights. The most exciting thing is the Panasonic GH3 for sure, though at that price you’d have to be already invested in micro four thirds.
Also, Google has bought Nik Software, which makes Silver Efex Pro – the best black and white processing software out there. Oh and Canon has launched some kind of photography social media hub in addition to the full-frame 6D camera. And there’s a Leica launch later. Okay that’s it – go forth and gorge yourselves.
Shooting in Paris: Day Two
After trudging round Paris all afternoon and evening with a tripod on my back and failing to use it even once, I decided to give it a miss on day two. This was, of course, a mistake. Read more →
Welcome back, RSS readers
Last night I discovered that when I moved this blog in July I broke the RSS feed url before I put the post up telling people about the move and directing them to the new one. Oops.
I’ve now put a permanent redirect on the server so subscribers from before July should be getting updates again – apologies if these landed all at once.

So about the Nikon D600 …
The Nikon D600 is a hell of a camera. When the D7000 was released in September 2010 many people said: ‘If I could have that camera with a full-frame sensor …’ and now we have it. Consumer size, weight and and features with full-frame sensor quality that will probably beat the D800 in all areas bar resolution.
Problem is, the D7000 came out in September 2010. It’s now September 2012. Nikon is to be saluted for listening to its customers, but frankly it’s too little too late. Read more →
Shooting in Paris: Day One
Day one of shooting in Paris and we had to get a bit of the standard sightseeing out of the way. Unfortunately that meant huge, imperial avenues and not a lot of original material in the architecture department. Eiffel Tower, anyone? Read more →
Sony RX1 versus Fuji X100: Street shooter showdown
This morning Sony announced the RX1 full-frame compact camera with a fixed Zeiss lens. Having held (update: owned) a Leica and felt how bulky and heavy it is, I’m gonna say the Sony RX1 is the world’s first full-frame compact camera. Read more →
Paris Preview
This is the first frame from four days in Paris last weekend. I had every intention of cranking through the rest today but it’s just too darn sunny out there to be stuck inside glued to Lightroom. Sorry Paris, you’ll have to wait. Read more →
