Some more work with the Panasonic GX80

Its only 16mp? You shoot on a micro 4:3 sensor? But what about the noise? You cant get bokeh with such a small sensor Are the images printable?

These are many of the standard comments and questions people put in forums and online, these days its a belief that only full frame gives all answers to the above......Well no its simply not true!

I have earnt money from these "small" sensors! I have large aluminium prints of family on my wall and they look fantastic so I am of the camp that these sensors are brilliant for photographers - of course noise levels are less with a full frame camera and viewers perception of bokeh varies with different people.

Below are some portraits taken with my GX80

There are many reviews of this camera on YouTube and look up Gary W he's a real advocate of this remarkable little camera PS it came out in 2016!

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.

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!

Macro photography

So this is a new passion for me - macro photography. The Olympus OMD EM1 MK3 has a great macro set up with the 60mm f2.8 macro lens. I also acquired a great flash diffuser to use with my Pixapro 350 flash. Here are some images Macro photography is a specialized form of close-up photography that focuses on capturing extremely detailed images of small subjects, typically at a magnification ratio of 1:1 or higher. The primary goal of macro photography is to reveal intricate details that are not easily visible to the naked eye, highlighting the beauty and complexity of the miniature world. Key features of macro photography: Magnification: The main characteristic that sets macro photography apart is the high level of magnification it achieves. This means that the subject appears life-size or larger on the camera sensor, showcasing even the tiniest details with exceptional clarity. Small Subjects: Macro photography primarily involves capturing subjects that are relatively small, such as inse...

More bird photography recently

I took some time out to walk around my village here in Haddenham. I often go out for "birding" walks as I call them, I have studied the locality and behaviour of the local bird life. This has helped with the shot of the Blue Tit as I was waiting for one to alight just where he sat so this worked well I have been doing images lately with my Olympus OMD EM1-X and an old 50-200 Olympus lens with the 1.4 converter which gives a real magnification of 585mm a good birding lens
