# 1020. We are never ready … (farewell Olympus)

By philberphoto | News

There are few industries if any, that report numbers as horrible as photography. Total sales of cameras down 86% from their peak. So, to use the title of the last film made -and never released- by Marilyn Monroe, “something’s got to give”. Too many manufacturers chasing too few sales. And no cake to eat when […]

#633. Orkney (snork nie*)

By Paul Perton | Travel Photography , Uncategorized

A post of two halves: my take, followed by DS-regular, Steve Mallett. Photographs as captioned. **************************************************************************** It was a shock at first, this hotel on the quayside at St Margaret’s Hope. Our townie attitudes immediately marking it down as old fashioned and no doubt, a mistake. We were wrong, of course. As soon […]

In short, the extended DS team is […]

#516. Whither Sensor Formats? a.k.a Going Full Circle From Film

By pascaljappy | Opinion

Has there ever been a more fun time to be a photographer? All the way back in the film-based middle-ages, it used to be that the medium and large format segments of the market offered tremendous a variety of shooting experiences that were not available in 35mm. These things came with bellows, shift, tilts, and […]

#480. The Welsh Weekend

By Paul Perton | Travel Photography

It was cold yesterday. Surprisingly so as it is May in England, but as luck would have it, a northerly airflow had caused the previous day’s temperatures to plummet by the time I arrived at fellow photographer, old friend and part-time DS contributor, Steve’s home last evening (Friday). By mid-evening, the mercury had hit […]

He’s had his difficulties with mainstream FF DSLRs and in a few words and pictures describes his (very satisfying) journey to M43… Serendipity, luck and happenstance have determined the arc of my digital journey. In early 2006 my great pal and contributor […]

#336. And the best lens is …

By pascaljappy | How-To

How many lenses to use was the question central to my previous post. One reader, Ken, rightly scolded me in the comments for rehashing an overworked subject. I guess I should have asked for more context and not just for a number of lenses. So let’s see if I can make this one a little […]
