Morocco Portfolio Uploaded
I’ve just finished processing my shots from Morocco, and have uploaded the portfolio to my album. In addition, there are several new panoramas you should notice at the top of my web pages. Take a look at www.andrewj.com/album/Morocco Continue reading
Panasonic GX8 – First Impressions
I was asked the other day what I think of the Panasonic GX8. As I predicted here, it’s absolutely the right size: sit it on the desk next to the GX7 in its half-leather case, which is how I … Continue reading
Man at Work
Another low-contrast shot from the Marrakech Medina, which didn’t look promising out of the camera, but I think works well after processing. This was at a much shorter range than the "bread" shot of last week’s post, but the cloud … Continue reading
More Multishot Techniques, and Going 3D
I have been using multiple shot techniques almost as long as I have been interested in photography. My earliest stitched panoramas were in the days when you got a spare set of prints and took out the razor blade and … Continue reading
It’s Not Just What You Do With It, Size IS Important
On paper, the Panasonic GM5 should be an ideal "carry around" camera for me. The same sensor and processor as the excellent GX7 and GH4 in a neat pocket-sized packaged. A proper electronic viewfinder. Access to all the Micro Four … Continue reading
Crash, Bang, Wallop, What a Picture

Dark Shadows
I’m finally getting around to processing the remaining shots from my Morocco trip in 2013! I had parked a number of shots from the Dades Gorge, because we were shooting almost into the setting sun, and they were either hazy, … Continue reading
It’s Not the Camera, It’s the Photographer… Well, Sort Of…
There’s a frequently made assertion in photography books and blogs that the choice of kit doesn’t really matter, and a good photographer will make great images regardless. I don’t altogether agree. While I think it’s laudable to encourage photographers to … Continue reading
Into the (Infra)Red
Last Summer I purchased a Panasonic GF3 which had been converted to infrared photography. Like with many gadgets, there’s a period where you play with the funky effects, and I quite like the way you can get a really deep … Continue reading
Edge of Silence
We’ve just finished our 30th anniversary viewing of Edge of Darkness. I must now have seen the series at least 10 times, but in this case familiarity breeds respect. Like the best Shakespeare play or Verdi opera the series rewards … Continue reading
A Visitation
Great excitement chez nous last night. The security lights went on and we spotted not one but two hedgehogs snuffling around in the courtyard. Fortunately they stayed round long enough to get a few photos. The security light provided good … Continue reading
A Failure of Curation
We visit a lot of photography exhibitions. The majority are inspiring or thought-provoking, and well worth the effort of the photographers, the presenters, and the attendees. Along the way there has been the odd disappointment: sometimes we just don’t connect … Continue reading
