Looking back to some concert photography from 2010
Hi Gary, nice to see you back. :D Had a look at the archive and some stand up a lot better than others but have to say overall the GX20 (obviously with the photographers help) did extremely well considering. I also had a look at some of your other galleries and have to say that whatever you ar...

Good to see you on the forum again Gary - personally I think that's a great set, the grainy monochrome look on some really suits the subject and your technique is excellent. Classic case of the the photographer being the true maker of the images, not just the equipment 8) :wink: Thanks Lenny :-)

The simplest subjects.......
Thanks for the comments - I've genuinely learnt a lot and changed my ways since I got a K1 - I was never a fan of Live View and thought the articulating lift out screen was a gimmick, but I wouldn't have been capable of producing shots like these without those features. Additionally Live View has gi...

The simplest subjects.......
...Well put - it's interesting though how so many are not a fan of EVF and mirrorless, or actively dismiss it but as you (and I) have found, live view has many merits in its arsenal. So I pose to you, what if looking through the viewfinder you had focus peaking too? Would that allow you to use maxim...

Focus peaking through the viewfinder would be a stunner. It's the main reason I use Live View when chasing my kids around with manual lenses.

Super pink moon - Q10
A few days back we had the super pink moon, or whatever it was they were calling it. So I got the Vivitar 120-600mm/5.6-8 (thanks again @doubled) and Q10 out in the garden on a tripod, and took a few shots. The moon was bigger than the frame, so I took several shots and stitched the best ones togeth...

Living Room Self Portraits
Nice shots Gareth. When I did a self portrait for my passport photo I used an ipad on my lap paired to the K1, it worked a treat with touch screen focus and remote trigger.

Living Room Self Portraits
Great set this Gareth... very brave to go the self portrait route in the first place, and doubly so to be so bold in its execution... really like them... particularly your first 3 shots... I'm not a big portrait shooter, so can't discuss technically I'm afraid... but I love how you've taken the came...

Where The Bee (Fly) Sucks...
Thanks, appreciated. what sort of speeds were you at? 8) 1/1600 for no. 1, 1/3200 for no. 2 - those wings are moving incredibly fast! Both shots f5.6 (wide open with the TC) and ISO 800. From past failures, I've learned that the best way to focus once you've spotted a bee fly hanging around some fl...

Where The Bee (Fly) Sucks...
They are right b****** to get sharp, I reckon they know just when you're going to release the shutter and move just at the right/wrong moment. I've got so many where the focus has just missed. I like the second one, especially the fur on its tail. Phil
