Olympus 9mm Body Cap Lens

I picked up a used verion of this ultra cheap ultra wide lens on Ebay. Only £70 delivered already i can see some creative uses for it.

Its a fixed appature lens at f8 so not much use for low light and its all manual focus, it uses a small lever on the front to focus. So far i have had a play with it and the Pansonic G9 its mounted on works well with it. It offers an exellent focus peaking system that shows blue highlights when in focus, obviously at f8 most of the scene is!

The photograph of Indi below shows how good the lens is and its extreme wide angle of view, she looks a bit fed up too

Fuji X100V Daily Photos

Fuji X100V Daily So I decided to build a blog about daily photos with my beautiful Fuji X100V I have been a Fuji X photographer for over 10 years and especially the X100. The fixed lens really helps with creativity This image was shot underneath my car port The top light really helped with the shadows I have found walking out and about with my camera a mindful experience, it helps you balance with nature and slow down in this difficult world. The leaves above seem to show sadness at the change of the seasons resting peacefully on a fallen tree Exposure wise for those that are photographers 1/30 sec shutter speed f 3.6 ISO 500, it’s easy to handhold the X100V for a shot like this. I suppose some would ask why not use a phone for these shots? I understand this but being a photographer you need to use a camera!

Down to the park

Back to Hughenden park... A little picture heavy today but the sun was out and Hughenden park looked fabulous Indi loves being out down there her tail was wagging quite a lot It was a bit of struggle to get Indi into my car which is a Toyota IQ a great small runabout but not ideal GSD transport!

A wet winters day muddy walk

On our daily trudge this Sunday We took our usual stroll through a bleak rainy Sunday winters day, the weather was wet and the general view was colourless so I decided to search for colour. From the Ivy’s deep green and the moss that adorned the wooden branches, one shot I walk under every day so it pays to look up! I start the images with a shot on my Pixel 4A showing the rain on my X100V So when am I getting my breakfast dad?
