#811. Monday Post (21 Jan 2019) – What’s in my bag? The one-and-only lens.

There are many styles of photography and photographers, so any statement needs to be made in the context of a certain type of shooting and individual Please see: https://www.dearsusan.net/2015/02/03/320-magic-quadrant-personal-photographic-style/ . In my case, stationary objects, cityscapes, landscapes, close-ups, and my style is storytelling.. It is now almost a year that I can give DS’ shortest […]

#808. Monday Post (14 Jan 2019) – Just one thoughtless person…

By Paul Perton | Monday Post

You may be aware that we’ve been besieged in the Kogelberg region, by huge veldt fires since New Years Eve. The area is a United Nations Biosphere – the biodiversity is believed to be greater than anywhere else on the planet; more than 1500 distinctly different forms of flora can be found in […]

#806. Monday Post (7 Jan 2019) – Nah! (Nutella, Apple and Hasselblad)

By pascaljappy | Monday Post

Last year, French citizens fought over discounted pots of Nutella. And my MacBook Pro screen started to lose its antireflection coating in patches. So I’m hoping for a cheaper Hasselblad X1D. Umair Haque explains. How to become super rich. It’s actually easy. Bill Gates became the world’s richest man not by inventing […]

#803. Monday Post (31 dec. 2018) Last post! (for the year)

By philberphoto | Monday Post

So, 2018 is soon to be over. What has it changed to our (photographic) worlds over the course of this year? Are MF cameras really better (for some uses)? The answer would seem to be “yes”, as the Master of this House has declared undying love for the Hasselblad X1D. Problems with this are that, […]

#802. Monday Post (24 Dec 2018) – Master and masterpiece, piece of gear and peace of gear…

By philberphoto | Monday Post

I often discuss photo topics with Pascal, and when he says “great subject for a post, but I don’t know that I could write it. You, on the other hand…”, I know I should proceed with great care. But vanity and pride being what they are, I usually disregard his warning-in-disguise and start writing. And […]

#797. Monday Post (10 Dec 2018) – With a lens, or through a lens?

By philberphoto | Monday Post

The first criterion to describe a lens is its focal length. 50mm, or 24-105mm or whatever. Beginners are told that the choice of focal length will determine what picture they get. Compact cameras come with zooms buitt in, and ILC’s are offered with “kit zooms”. In both cases, the zooms are supposed to cover the […]

#793. Monday Post (3 Dec 2018) – Only a bit OT

By Paul Perton | Monday Post , Uncategorized

Hating Lightroom. Hoping Luminar’s next release is mainstream usable. Still having issues with ON1 RAW’s blowsy attitude. Wanting RAW Power to get yet more traction. Thinking Capture 1 V12 might be the tipping point. It’s Sunday afternoon. I’m printing, or at least trying my best. Mirage’s software […]

Late afternoon watering hole. Look close and spot the 6m crocodile, waiting for dinner to get just a bit closer...

#790. Monday Post (26 Nov 2018) – Rant Receptors Ready!

By Paul Perton | Monday Post

An f0.65 lens. WTF? If you’re a regular DS reader, you’ll know we’ve discussed the new generation of über lenses exhaustively in recent times. The trend continues and I was hardly surprised to see a report in the photography media, suggesting that Nikon has calculated its new Z mirrorless camera body could […]

#788. Monday Post (19 Nov 2018) – Printswapping

By pascaljappy | Monday Post

That’s one word, like trainspotting, please. Two would make it an act, I wanna talk about the concept. And project. Sooo, continuing my two obsessive themes of the year, printing and (collecting) art, as means of becoming a better photographer … here are some thoughts behind printswapping. Learning. Learning is a continuous […]
