"Bandwagon" gear post..
I wanted to showcase a Flammenwerfer 35 mod I whipped up today. What better way to show it off than with all this gear!
Question: What WW2-genre things do you want to see from me? I've been thinking of something French Resistance for some time..
Enjoy!

Curious Owlet craning its neck to look down directly at me as I pointed my camera skywards because that was the only opening I had amidst the thick canopy of leaves.
An old shot taken with Olympus OMD E-M5 and Lumix 100-300mm f4.0-5.6 OIS, handheld at full extension 300mm, wide opened, 1/80s and +1.3EV.
Less than ideal conditions and sensor limitations but the camera+lens setup weighed under 1kg and allowed me to record this encounter on a hike.
Portrait orientation crop of a shot taken originally in landscape format.
The SOOC JPEG was terrible; the auto WB was way off, couldn’t rely on the metering (+1.3EV in shot) either and the colors were washed out (loss of contrast) from shooting skywards into the shaded canopy (heavily backlit) made worse by strong color cast.
Post-processing from RAW rescued the shot and helped made it borderline presentable. Took the extra step to remove nasty purple fringing as well.
As it is, there’s still much fundamental misunderstanding about post-processing;
1. SOOC JPEG is NOT WYSIWYG!
=============================
People who believed that JPEG represents WYSIWYG are misguided. Some of these folks will tell you they prefer SOOC JPEG because it’s pure and unadulterated, representing what their eyes saw. Nothing can be further from the truth and frankly such belief is no different from those of Flat-earthers! Fact is, JPEG is instantaneously converted from RAW data within the camera and different camera models even from the same brand can produce different looking JPEGs. Just as our human visual system is not solely based on our eyes since 50% of our brain is also involved in visual processing. Metering, WB and all other in-camera processings are far from perfect because cameras lack the brains (processing power) to deal with the extremes and specific problematic areas within each image.
2. Selective vs global adjustments
==============================
Most casual photographers lack a proper understanding of what post-processing can really do and hence end up with the mistaken notion that SOOC JPEG will suffice. Always boggles the mind how some folks can arrive at the notion that SOOC JPEG is sufficient when they have never delved into proper post-processing? Many more cling on to thinking that post-processing will alter the image too much because they are clueless as to how the various little things that can add up to really improve on the overall image quality. Cropping, adjusting exposure, highlights/shadows or saturation are just scratching the surface, of the surface! Fundamentally there is global adjustments and then there's the all important selective adjustments, good luck with relying on the camera’s JPEG engine to perform the latter! On the flip side, there are also those who tend to mess up post-processing so bad that they are better off sticking to SOOC JPEG. Overwrought HDR can be such travesty and stuff like Sky Replacement is pure fakery, not post-processing.
3. Post-processing ability thumps new gear
======================================
Post-processing is a most worthwhile skill that takes time to acquire and refine. A good knowledge of post-processing can also influence us to shoot better to obtain a better RAW file. Once we get the hang of it, it is in fact quite quick to do, even for more troublesome/complicated shots. Personally it’s much more important than the gear we use which some tend to worship like tribal totems.
When I got started in this hobby years ago, I was a pure JPEG shooter and hence know what it means to get it right as far as possible in shot but my photos were seldom satisfactory even on the rare occasions when conditions were perfect. I had little clue of the full potential of post-processing because if I did, I would have shot RAW from Day 1. I wished cameras did not come set to default for JPEG only out of the box.
I sincerely hope that others don’t have to go through the long period of photography mediocrity like I did!
Learn to post-process better because it will make a much greater difference to our photos than that newer camera or lens ever will!

It's been a while, so I thought it's time for another gear post.
This is a summarized version of a blog post I posted in Swedish a few days ago here ». If you want the full version, please learn Swedish or read the google translated version (which I actually find quite comprehensible).
***
The past season (2015) I've experimented with the automatic reversing adapter MK-C-UP from the Chinese manufacturer Meike. This gadget is depicted in the upper left corner of the image above. It consists of two parts connected with a coiled cord and makes it possible to maintain communication with a reverse mounted Canon lens.
Mounting a lens in reverse orientation is a classic trick to achieve macro magnification with non-macro optics. In the age of aperture rings and mechanical aperture control, this was just a matter of physically mounting the lens to the camera body. A very simple adapter, with bayonet mount in one end and a male filter thread in the other was sufficient do the trick since the mechanical aperture ring would let you stop down the lens weather it was mounted in reverse orientation or not. Nowadays most lenses communicate electronically with the camera body. And with this development we've lost the mechanical aperture control needed to easily able to set the aperture of a reverse-mounted lens.
The Meike MK-C-UP adapter solves this problem by providing a way to by-wire, electronically and seamlessly communicate with a reverse-mounted lens.
This is not a new invention: Novoflex has offered a similar adapter for years. But with MK-C-UP, Meike has made it affordable (≈ $60).
I've found this solution particularly useful in combination with the relatively cheap lens Canon 40 mm f/2.8 STM. For high magnification work, this combination rivals the more expensive Canon MP-E 65 mm f/2.8 at least in some respects. While not as flexible as the MP-E in terms of magnification ratio, this "nonaC 40/2,8" offers some very nice qualities in terms of portability and image quality.
Please continue this read in the first comment below »
In the second comment I'll add a collection of image examples.
And in the third comment I'll wrap things up with some thoughts and conclusions.
This is my current extreme macro setup, which provides just over 10X magnification. "Enhancements" since my previous gear post include improvements to the home-made flash bracket, upgrade from the 90ex to the 270EX II Speedlight and, of course, replacing the EOS M camera body with the EOS M3. Here you can see the "tilty" screen in action (very useful indeed for macro work) and I've also gained an increase in resolution from 18 to 24MP. It's not much for everyday use, but when you are trying to tease out as much detail as possible, every little helps. Unfortunately the exposure compensation dial doesn't automatically swap to flash exposure compensation when you connect an external flash (missed a trick there Canon!) and you can't use the EVF with external flash as the hot shoe is occupied. It's still a great improvement over the original M. I suspect I should start saving for the M4 however, ready for when it is revealed..
It's not too difficult to use, but I need to be careful with my cheap extension tubes. Sometimes the connection fails with all the weight of the lenses attached (which is why I haven't added more here), so I'll probably invest in the more expensive offerings at some point which should provide more reliable connections.
The 270ex II flash is very new to me (I just got it a couple of days ago) so here it is mounted on the bracket designed for the smaller 90ex. Already I can feel an improvement with the recycle times, and it's much less frustrating to use as a result. I would like something with even quicker recycle times, but then you are looking at the much larger, heavier units that will likely need a side arm bracket or similar to support the weight. This one seems a good compromise. I'll need to construct a new bracket that allows the flash to sit a bit further back to get a better angle for the diffuser. It works quite well as it is though.
See below for the type of subject this setup can be used for; the marvelously named Megalothorax minimus:
EDIT: Thinking about it, I might be able to get more magnification simply by moving the 1.4X extender behind the extension tube. The extender should increase the magnification of whatever is in front of it (by 1.4 times) so I think I may be able to gain a bit more magnification just by shuffling things round a bit. Something to experiment with...
gear post: i updated my camera system, and am finally shooting with a full frame system. i am amazed at the support that i have had on the flickr platform while shooting with a fairly limited system, and am excited about what i can produce with my new set-up!

Merry Christmas and thanks for the likes,comments, follows. I will try to do bigger and better next year and post more often (and more useful posts to the blog). Lots of new Leica gear posts planned I just need to find time to write them! :) Pinterest is getting used more and more too after a few years off it.

getting my tat gear posted down soon so all i need is some new black ink!!!!! :) this time next month im gonna look a mess. also working on a small book of designs at the moment so look out and buy that s**t when it comes out and a small fanzine 26 - 34 pages duno yet still contemplating.
Shot with an iPhone, please excuse any errors.
Sorry for the gear post. I created this for a blogpost about Camera Gear Lust. Head over to my blog to read about it if you're interested. Thanks!
I will be heading to Zion National Park in July for a few days to hike and photograph The Narrows and go canyoneering in The Subway via the top down rout which includes a few short rappels. Planning gear for this trip has been a chalange and my previous gear post has been popular, so I am updating with a list of what I will be carrying for this trip.
Zion is known for its deep beautiful slot canyons filled with ice cold water and mysterious reflected light. Exploring these canyons is not an easy trek. The 16 mile 2 day trip through The Narrows has you literally walking through the Virgin River most of the time. Some sections are only a few feet wide with 1200+ ft walls on both sides requiring a few short swims. To keep my gear dry I will be carrying a few dry bags. The blue dry bag will carry the Mountainsmith Kit Cube with my camera and lens' inside during any technical spots in the canyon. The rest of the time I will be carrying the camera with a lens attached by my side in the orange dry bag. The blue bag, and all the other gear goes inside the yellow bag, and inside my backpack (double protection for photo gear). This should work and keep everything dry. Fingers crossed.
When heading into the backcountry with photography equipment every ounce counts. As I have upgraded my photo kit with faster, heavier lenses, I have decreased the weight of my backpacking gear with ultra light equipment to compensate. I'm pretty happy with this setup. But....If i were to change anything I would add a Gitzo Traveler Tripod with a RRS BH25 head, shaving off about a pound and a half; gaining a steadier base for the heavier lenses.
I will also be carying a Canon 40D (used to take this picture), a ND64 filter for silky waterfalls in daylight, and a remote release for long exposures in the dark canyons, as well as the hoods for all the lenses.
Everything here will be carried in a Osprey Exos 58. I used this pack on my last few trips and love it. It's super light for an internal frame pack and carries all my heavy photo gear very comfortably.
Off hand this setup should weigh in around 35lbs with food and water. Not to bad considering my original pack weighed about 20lbs more, with less gear. I'll update with proper weights when I get a chance.
I had purchased an external flash (Canon 430EX II) and thanks to a very kind donation from Sumowesley I was able to get it off camera with the Canon ST-E2 infrared transmitter. An alternative to this would be to use a flash trigger cord, but I would try to get one with E-TTL capabilities if possible. It's not a necessity but you will be stuck with using manual mode without it, and ETTL capabilities have proved useful for macro photography out in the field.
The other change from my previous setup was I purchased a cheap set (about £8) of extension tubes. These are a set of varying length hollow, metal tubes (3 in total, not including the end adapter) that screw together to give a maximum length, or you can leave one or more out to give different levels of magnification.
Their main purpose is to move the lens away from the sensor plane to decrease the minimum focus distance to a subject. The result of this is that you can physically move your lens closer to a subject and as a result it will appear larger on your camera sensor (try it with you current camera and lens - focus on a small object then move in closer; at some point you will no longer be able to focus on the object despite it being some distance away - if you have a macro lens, or a lens with macro capabilities, you shouldn't have this issue).
An even cheaper alternative is to make you own set of extension tubes. Some people have used an empty pringles tube for this, and copious amounts of tape. As big a fan as I am of DIY mods to my camera gear, I figured it was worth the small investment for some purpose made tubes. For a much higher price (almost 10 times as much) you can get tubes that allow you to control the aperture setting of your lens through the camera. The cheap versions don't have this functionality so you have to rely on the DoF button trick as describe in my first gear post.
Usually I would hand hold camera and lens in one hand (its pretty light) and hold the flash in the other, however I also started experimenting with focus stacking.
Focus stacking is where you take a number of images of a subject with the focal point at different points (this is necessary because you get a very narrow Depth of Field at higher magnifications) before merging them together in specialist software (CombineZP is probably the best freeware example). I started by placing the camera on a suitably sized book, lining it up with the subject, then pushing the book slightly forward to move the focus point between each shot. I could get some OK results like this, but I was getting small sideways movement and this led on to my next purchase, a macro rail (another £8).
The macro rail enables me to mount the camera on a tripod and edge the camera forward on a slider in small increments reducing the chances of misalignment due to unwanted sideways movements.
I also used an external flash to light the subject (usually a dead insect of some kind) and began experimenting with home made diffusers, the latest example of which can be seen above (more about that in the next post). I had the Joby Gorillapod Zoom (my first tripod purchase) which I found to be really useful for mounting the flash (I didn't realise at first that the little plastic "foot" provided with the flash has a screw adapter so I could attach it to the ball head mount).
This is the setup I used a lot, mounted on the tripod for studio stacks, and handheld out in the field.
See the next post for the most recent (and by far biggest) investment in my macro photography and see the previous post for how I got started.
Examples of images I have taken with this setup can be seen in the first comment below.
Let's now give attention to the gear mechanism which converts circular motion of the focussing knob into lateral movement of the Front Standard. As a STARTING POINT I adjust the worms in the round gear posts so that there is a 1.5mm gap as depicted. This is ABOUT right but the accurate distance is found by 'trial and error' see step (31) for how this is accomplished.
The Front Standard has been removed or 'pulled' to use a technicians vernacular. Immediately we see why the focussing was inoperable due to misalignment of slots in the four worm gears posts (more on this later) There is a rogue screw floating about inside there as well which is a sign of botched technical work in the past. We'll have to put this right all right...Allright then! Note the four rings which go under the screws....don't lose these.
Use a 'pipe cleaner' to clean inside the worm gear threads. Notice the worm gear which awaits cleaning. Do each unit separately putting the right worm back in its original gear post. This one is LL ie Lower Left. Rinse each component with petrol straight from the can to get all the grit off.
I scribed the four gears posts to mark their original positions ie LR = Lower Right etc. Next we will take the worm gear out of each post and clean it then re-lubricate with fresh molybdenum grease. To avoid mixing them up I did each unit separately see next photographs

There are a lot of cliches on flickr.
Basically anything with epic bokeh and a person in it is amazing but you ask the same people why they like it and they have no idea. Not that this is bad, at least it conveys enough. However you get to a point where someone is ONLY doing high bokeh, multiplicity backlit girl with cat with fancy film-esque processing and no 100% black values (of the RGB sort) so it looks like the photo is 20 years old. Sure this is great but tbh anyone can do one thing great. Sure I sat down at our piano a while back made up a little song by stringing together notes that sounded cool, it has no lyrics yet but even my sister (who does play the piano) commented that it was pretty good. However ask me to play anything else or give me some sheet music and Im stumped. It may be harsh but I found myself comfortable in the 'dark' image mindset and off camera flash skillset but my natural light skills were seriously lacking IMO. Hence why Im pushing this 'brighter' way of seeing photographs. That way if I get cool ideas I will be less held back by my kit or skills because I have a wider experience in more techniques/gear/environments. There is a whole consensus that you are either really good at 'studio' lighting or you are really good at available/natural light. Im trying to investigate if you can improve on both.
This sort of mind-speaking may not make me very popular on flickr but there is some truth in it. People like finding one lightring technique, one post processing method or one type of camera (yea you with the expired film and the AE-1, old style is great but if you're depending on it to take good pictures you're missing the point altogether). Said people will then assume that becuase this *insert one or all of above things* works for them they claim it as their 'style' but really its only because that's all they know. Anyone can come along and 'steal' their technique.. I see loads of cool ideas and could easily hijack them (like today; youaretheocean, she put some coloured cellophane infront of the lense really cloes up to get the effect of a colour gradient that looked like a red light leak) but while I could do that myself it wouldn't be my decision, my vision, my creativity.
To be honest I am still unsure as to what defines a 'style' in photography. I know it's there as I see it in people's work as a consistant pattern in an element of the picture but with so many duplicates out there it all seems the same. Only a small few people bring something original to the table and those people gain my greatest respect.
There's this girl on flickr that I've been (stalking) following for a few months. Her work is quite the opposite to mine. Difficult to interperate and not gutted out and layed on a table for all to see the thought process behind it like I do with this writing (urgh, I really have to stop doing that). Some of it seems deeply personal but not enough to make you sure it is. Anyway, her work went through a stage were an effect was used almost exclusively, at least in all of her uploads. There are a few others of equal popularity using the same effect on flickr and I was beginning to wonder when (and I mean this in a nice way) she was going to move on. It wasnt really helping the pictures in some cases but gained a huge flow of attention from followers as it made some pretty crazy images. It was 'style' I guess but tbh you/I/Billy Joe just starting into photography could buy the same thing and put it on their camera and it would make the same effect..
But then she did something different. A technique that has been tried thousands maybe millions of times over the years but her approach to it was unique, It impressed me big time because it had more substance. Again the equipment required isnt expensive but her creative 'vision' (I have no better word to make that easier to understand) in relation to it was unique, stylish even. You may be able to buy all the actions and curves adjustments and gear that your faviourite photographer has but you cannot buy/steal/borrow their creative vision (I'll maybe make more sense of that word tomorrow.)
Maybe style is not so much a destination but more of a journey. One not just of kit, gear and process but whole shifts in thinking/seeing pictures. The artist that survives is the artist that can diversify, widen their horizons and think within new spaces. Just look at Mattise.
-----------------
I didn't intent to write this but somehow it's been stewing over in my head for a few weeks and I've only got the words to articulate it now.
The fact that this picture is quite literally tongue and cheek is purely coincidence.
The fact I'm blowing away the strobe gel (see above about the cellophane) is not.
I don't ever want to become so comfortable in something physical (camera gear, post process techniques or genre/subject matter) that I mistake it for the other thing that is my personal style/vision/creativity, which I still havent entirely found yet. Of course it is great to try new gear and techniques etc but those arent what make good pictures. Creativity transcends all gear, all software, all locations or subject matter. In a way finding your personal style involves finding yourself. As a result my pictures automatically convey how Im feeling most of the time. At the moment I have to decide wether to sit down where I am and (lie) say I have found who I am as a person and photographer or continue to explore, experiment, do cool stuff that Im not confident with. Those who have tried or are trying to find themselves will know how frustrating/confusing this is. Those that have not will have no idea what Im talking about but I would encourage everyone to try.
BIG out of focus (pre focusing and self timer is a beast to get right :/ )

So, here's how it happened;
My friend got asked to transport some actresses to a red-carpet event here in town. It was just for show, playing Hollywood. So I was asked to photograph "some girls...blah blah blah... red carpet, blah blah blah... wednesday .... blah blah... afternoon" Yeah, 7:30 as I later realized.
So I went, and we met up about 15 minutes before the big ride-in, and just out of reflex I grabbed my cam and started shooting... (at this time the ambient light was practically non-existent except of the billboard of the UPC store we parked in front of)
In slow increments I built up;
-a light in front of the car, umbrella, full cto
-far right and way behind high left full zoom, bare, pointing at the car
I also had an umbrella on the ground next to the car, but it seems it didn't fire on this shot... I should switch the cacti to some more reliable gear...
post process was done in PS, some color balance stuff to get that faded out 70's 80's car-mag feel of it.
Almost no light to focus, handheld at 148 mm, 1/20s f/2.8 iso 800

Who better to be the first subject of my very first photo from my new gear posted to Flickr than my first boycat - Aslan the Magnificent.
I haven't had time to set my colors and preferences just yet. In fact, I had to force myself away from the camera so I could finish the tasks I have to do this busy day. I will tell you that the lens and the camera are faster than greased lightening. How fast is that? Pretty danged fast! Also, the colors are more true and will require much less processing.
I did a wide shot of the sky today and brought it inside a sphere to see how it would look spinning inside a ball. Basically, consider yourself standing in a ball with a light bulb and looking at a chrome ball reflecting everything around as the outer ball spins.
I just really liked the smooth blending in the reflection.
Stare at the design and listen to the tune, then send me all of your camera gear, post paid.

I just don't get the quality loss after uploading a video???? Everything goes from clear to grainy. Does anyone know anything on this yet?
Gear post! I haven’t done any of these before I think, but being quite the gear enthusiast I figured why not😊. These are my @omsystem.cameras E-M1 mark iii + 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens. I’m a big OM system (formerly Olympus) enthusiast and use many different of their micro four thirds bodies and lenses, from the very first 2009 PEN E-P1 with pancake lenss to this more recent E-M1 mark iii and well, anything in between, really. Although I like to change around what I carry along all the time (often something a bit more compact for example, like the PEN-F + Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 that I shot this with), this would probably be my most favorite combination of all time. Or, should I only be allowed to keep one camera and one lens (the horror!😳😅) it’d be this combination. The body is quite new to me but I’ve had this lens for many years and always come back to it.

These hats were really important for Ferenc an István in the desert, they were durable and they protected their head, face and neck from sunshine. And it was pretty easy to keep them clean as well, a rinse of clean water did the job. The nape flap could be a bit bigger to fully cover the ears, a light wind can blow it off.

Sometimes you just have to relax and gear down. What better way to do that than grab your camera and get out and shoot some pictures.
I shot these worn gears on an old piece of farm equipment at Pena Adobe Park, in Vacaville. (always liked this kind of mechanical stuff) A little bit of set up involved, I did put the leaf there, also used a mini mag flashlight to light the leaf and lower gear. Post work done in PS.

Okay... granted, it’s not a gear post, but I did use a knife to cut the bagel and tomato, LOL. Crushing lunch today with a New Cascadia GF bagel, Diestel turkey, Tillamook Swiss, veggies, and some Suzie’s mustard. Boom!
I posted this for two reasons. When I was a kid, I rode my bike everywhere, but I grew up in a small town, where riding one's bike was the only means of getting around. Today, in Toronto, riding a bike as a kid is hazardous enough you ride on sidewalks, but hopefully have the same joy -- and don't hit someone.
The other reason is a gear post. This is with the Fuji X-Pro 1 with firmware 2.0 in it. This was on continuous focus, it grabbed focus on his little contrast shirt, and is perfect.
Oh -- and one more reason - I kind of like this shot for some reason.
This is a gear post. This is pretty much straight out of the camera from the XPro 1 with the 60mm wide open in virtually no light. ISO 6400.
Oh, and the music was pretty good too.
