My new camera finally arrived today! After a two week wait, now the fun begins, all the set up and fun stuff...
I bought this mainly to be an ornament. There's missing pieces inside so It wont work, but I thought it was pretty good for about £10!
Wukang Lu is a very popular street for a Sunday afternoon walk. As I was passing by I noticed this young girl with a large camera set on the opposite side of the street. Unable to see what she was photographing I was impressed how she was handling the gear with admirable confidence.
A strange little camera that seems out of time from when it saw production (1959-70) when cameras were steadily improving in the quality you get what is basically a box camera and a two-element lens, but still super fun to just get out and play with.

I absolutely love my E-M5 II, but the grip is simply not substantial enough. I'm also in charge of running a brand new LeapFrog Xeed 3D printer at work and needed to calibrate and test it...
So what was a mere prototype grip of my own design has now become a tried and tested accessory!
Made of tough ABS plastic, it fits the camera perfectly, has an access hole for changing the battery, and cutaways for doors, rotating screen and strap bosses. So far it's stood up to over 3000 images in Canada and Iceland, fits my hand perfectly and gives me a rock-solid grip on the camera with just a few fingers.
They say that the camera adds 10 pounds, well this camera has taken about 10 years off the age of my Tiger.
She photographs really well, and the camera disguises her less than perfect exterior. However shabby she may be, all us preservationists know that it is whats underneath that counts, and the lads at Premier Bus & Truck say they have not known or heard a better sounding Tiger ;-).
I have now come to the conclusion though that it is best to get her 100% fit underneath before I even attempt the exterior, she does'nt need a lot just a couple of air bags at the rear, complete exhaust system, front end re-build etc etc. She has a set of headrests already, and I am looking for some moquette at the moment so my mate Garry can re-trim her (Any ideas?).
This photo was taken today up the yard, after I had sweated my B******S off washing her, sweeping her out, cleaning the drivers area and doing a little more work on the interior. I also had to take her back to Premier today to get the wheels re-torqued after her front brakes, hubs and drums were replaced for the MoT yesterday.
She will be taking the members of the SWPG to the POPS rally tomorrow morning, although looking at the weather I dont know why I bothered to wash her as it is going to hammer it down tomorrow ;-( (Lets hope not!).

After having used this little camera for 3 months now, I can confidently say - this little camera is AMAZING! I was looking and experimenting with all sorts of small, compact cameras as an "all-day-carry." As a dad of three kids, sometimes it's just not convenient or practical to bring a full frame camera.
I wanted very specific things from a small, compact camera. If it was possible: quick autofocus, excellent image quality, and portability. This Olympus has achieved all three.
The autofocus, coupled with the new Olympus 17mm f/1.8, is blindingly quick. With three little kids running, crawling and moving around like little tasmanian devils, I needed something that locked focus quickly. This was unbelievably fast and accurate.
The image quality was breathtaking, also. I could not believe I was getting great images from such a small sensor - depth of field, clarity and sharpness. I tried the Panasonic GX1, and the dynamic range and color render on it was not great. But this E-M5 was more suited to my taste. Love, love, love the image quality. Even the jpeg's were superb.
And finally, it is pocketable. I could throw this tiny but sturdy bad boy in our diaper bag and bring it with me everywhere. It's solidly built and pocketable! This was probably the biggest issue for me.
I know that as a photographer, it's not so much about the tool as the person using it. But sometimes, it does matter what you bring. It depends on the situation: location, people you're with, event, etc. I still try to keep in mind composition, lighting, subject matter when I take pictures. I understand all of that. But sometimes, it's also about what you can and cannot bring.

Took my first shots with the new (to me) Calumet CC-401 4x5 large format camera. In general, I'm blown away. I have one question, though; both of my shots have missing emulsion; look at the black bits right above the Rolleiflex. I've never seen this on any of my 35mm or medium format shots. Any ideas what would cause this? I developed the film in a Paterson tank with a MOD54, stand developed in Rodinal 1:100 for an hour.
