Whilst I’m now mainly concentrating on landscape photography, in my time I’ve done weddings, portraits and dance photography, and still shoot some dance festivals and school performances.
Having previously used a mix of full frame (Canon) and Micro Four Thirds, I’ve now returned to a single FF eco system, primarily because it wasn’t cost effective to run multiple systems; though I do still miss the small form factor of M4/3.
The content of this channel will cover general photography, some reviews, and anything that I think might be of interest.
The channel isn’t monetised, and I’m not aiming to have sponsors, and so this is purely a fun pastime.
My delivery style is more relaxed and you’ll certainly not hear the phrase “Yo, Wassup RUclipsrs!", and I’ll definitely not be wearing a baseball cap indoors when speaking to camera.

Platypods, Yes or No?
I've now been using a couple of Platypods for the last year or so, but are they any good? And Why not just use a table top Tripod instead?
I'm grateful to my mate Chris for loaning me his Extreme Platypod in order to make this video.
The other two Platypods are mine; bought and paid for!

Having now used the R8 for about 7 months or so, I thought it might be useful to share some of my real world experiences of using the camera for photography (not video).
Moving Over to the Kase K9 System Without Scrapping Your Existing Filters
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
Over a year ago I dropped and shattered my Lee Polariser Filter, which caused to me to consider whether to move over to a different system, but in doing so I didn't want to scrap all of my existing Lee filters. In this video I explain why I moved onto the Kase System, my thoughts on it, and how effective it is in supporting my existing Lee filters.
Shimoda Action X50 Review; The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Просмотров 26 тыс.3 года назад
Having been on the lookout for well over a year for a new camera backpack, I've finally settled on the Shimoda Action X50, which I've now been using for a couple of months. And whilst these bags are good, they're by no means perfect. Some might even say they look a little ugly, and they're certainly not cheap! Unfortunately, due to the various Covid restrictions, I've not been able to use it as...
Woodland Photography, Dealing With The Clutter
Просмотров 8264 года назад
Shooting in woods can often be challenging due to the clutter that is present, such as other trees, branches, twigs, ferns etc, all of which can get in the way of the subject you’re trying to shoot. In my first on location video, I look at some options to deal with clutter. Often just moving your camera’s position slightly is all that‘s needed to minimise any issues. For those wondering why I d...

Просмотров 5 тыс.4 года назад
On 30th September Olympus and JIP, Japan Industrial Partners, announced that they had signed a definitive agreement to transfer Olympus’ Imaging business to a new company to be called OM Digital Solutions. In this video, which is a follow up to my previous video in July, I look at some of the details that have emerged.
Mindshift Backlight 26L v 36L Bags
Просмотров 21 тыс.4 года назад
I'm currently looking for a new camera backpack as my current bag no longer fits everything I need to carry, especially my outer jackets and tops. Whilst I'm confident, from the many other reviews I've seen of the Mindshift bags, that either the 26L or 36L bags will satisfy my camera gear needs, I'm not as certain about their ability to carry my outer clothing, comprising an insulated jacket, a...
Why on Earth Did I Buy a 2020 iMac?
Просмотров 40 тыс.4 года назад
With the end of the Intel Macs now in sight and the arrival of the Apple Silicon 'Arm' Macs due soon, why on earth did I buy a 2020 Intel iMac. In this video I share my own rationale for doing so along with my experience of the performance improvements gained when using Lightroom, together with my views on the Nano Screen option.
Are Olympus Actually Selling?
Просмотров 11 тыс.4 года назад
Having announced a signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOR) to “carveout” their imaging business to JIP (Japanese Industrial Partners), Olympus appears to be leaving the camera business; or are they? It’s not quite clear what actually is happening and there is no reference within any of the press releases of actually a ‘sale’ of the company; they merely reference a transfer of the company...
Landscape Photography and the Olympus Hi Res Mode
Просмотров 46 тыс.4 года назад
In this video I look at using the Olympus Hi Res Mode for landscape photography. Whilst primarily suited for more static subject matter, it is still possible to get good results using it for Landscapes, provided you use it within its constraints and in suitable weather conditions; it can become more problematic to use in windier conditions. It is also possible to get humongous images well above...
Are Micro Four Thirds and Other Small Sensor Camera Systems Still Viable?
Просмотров 29 тыс.4 года назад
There was a lot of commentary during 2019 as to whether Micro Four Thirds and other smaller sensor camera systems, can survive in the face of cheaper Full Frame Mirrorless systems. In this video I consider whether such cameras can still be considered as viable options. Whilst Full Frame has many advantages, smaller sensor cameras have their own particular advantages, such as their size and weig...
Morning Shoot with the Canon 5dmk3 and Olympus EM1mk2
Просмотров 33 тыс.6 лет назад
Having recently started moving into the micro four thirds system as a travel set up, I need to gauge the differences between my trusty Canon 5dmk3 and my new Olympus Em1mk2, so I thought this might be of interest for my first proper vlog. This isn't meant as a scientific comparison or detailed review, but as a simple, real world, quick test shoot on a cold, windy, February morning. My initial f...
Vanguard Alta Sky 51D Backpack Review
Просмотров 24 тыс.7 лет назад
This video is a review of the Vanguard Alta Sky 51D Backpack. I wanted a camera bag that could carry a Phantom drone together with a standard DSLR, ideally with lens attached, and up to about three additional lenses, plus a tripod, filters and batteries etc. The Alta Sky 51D does this, but it is not perfect; no camera bag ever is! At the time I acquired this bag there were very few on line revi...
