new features, head auto focus
My problem with back button AF is that I am left eye dominant so I always end up poking my right eye. They are so clever with considering where the right thumb ends up but totally ignore the potential use of the left one. I am left eye dominant too but don't find it a problem one bit.

new features, head auto focus
In my case I struggle to see an exact focus point via an APS-C viewfinder in many situations, I know, they aren't so easy as the old film camera split prism focussing system which I prefer to this day. I’d welcome smarts that detected people (and not the backgrounds behind them) better. Eye AF e...

new features, head auto focus
I have eye (and face) AF on my Fujifilm X-T20 and it can be very useful, though a little practice in focus and re-compose on my K-3 produces almost identical results and doesn't have the side effect of focusing on a face when I don't want it to.

Doh! That'll teach me for not reading the comp T&C's!
I subscribe to Outdoor Photography newsletters and one dropped into my inbox a while ago for a street scene photo comp with a sister company called Digital Photo. Top prize is Ricoh GR3 and $1000 as well as a few other bits and pieces. Didn't read the T&C's did I and when an email comes back saying ...

Tripod feet - spikes or rubber feet
My favourite tripods for many years have been made by the Susis German Company. Sadly long since gone. Their only weak point was that the heads weren't changeable, but the supplied one's still made the tripod faster to use than anything else. The legs were stronger than they looked, Susis had used a...

It’s been really nice to have had a few kindly enquiries from people on the forums recently, asking if I’m OK and why I’ve not been posting. It is those contacts that have encouraged me to jump back in, so thanks very much for rekindling the interest guys! Nothing dramatic to report, just a fadin...

welcome back, and a very nice set of photo's. It is difficult keeping motivated, I have missed out on loads of photo opportunities lately because I couldn't be bothered to carry my gear with me.. Getting my mojo back slowly. Hope to see more of you.

Thanks both... Good to be back. I am enjoying the hobby again in this rather limited way, but it's better than doing nothing photography related! For anyone who doesn't read the full explanation at the beginning, I should emphasise that I am not advocating 'mobile phone photography'. All the imag...

I think it is easy to get bogged down with equipment especially where other family members are involved, to the extent it gets put aside. To counter this I have found a couple of ways around this: first just take one lightweight prime lens like a 50mm, my favourite is the F2.8 macro as close-ups are...

Welcome back Nigel, glad you dropped in again and with such a great selection of images as well! It's a testament as well that it's not necessary to upgrade continuously and your K7 delivers the goods for you without the need to spend any new money. All good stuff. Hope you stay around now you've...

good to see you back in the fold with an excellent opening set. have been in that situation along with others i suspect, losing the interest and wondering why you bother when most images sit buried on a computer. i was lucky in that a friend of mine pulled me out of it by taking me to places i wo...

Superb, welcome back, nothing wrong with shots on a phone, #5 and #11 in particular, the best camera is always the one you have with you at the time

Good to see you back - your technical knowledge and contributions on Pentax flash has been so useful to many on the forums - and this little portfolio shows you haven't lost your style (I get the loss of motivation thing, all too common!). Hope to see you around more often 8)

I've been lambasted a few times in various venues lol for my perspective on pro video features being a necessity.... for using an iPhone on "Pro" photography and film sets and more... in my arsenal I have a half dozen cameras each designed for various uses and they all get used. it's been nearly a...

Yes, I've been guilty recently of relying on my phone for family and casual pics... The compromises are sometimes worth it. Being pressed more for time nowadays I will choose ease and speed as the priority. But for me it's about the whole work flow, and the issue was that I was taking shots but l...
