Olympus E-PL1 – Part 1
I’ve blogged about my interest in a picking up a larger sensor compact camera for some time now, and last month was very excited about the announcement of the E-PL1. It’s strange that the scene has still been dominated by

Day 9: Baby Photoshoot! – Part 2
Matt was using a Nikon D90 with his 35mm f1.8, and myself the D300 with the Sigma 24-60mm f2.8. Different lenses not withstanding of course, the flash settings and DSLR modes we used were roughly similar but the results turned
Day 9: Baby Photoshoot! – Part 1
Every other day there’ll be photographic events organized and posted up on Clubsnap, with the subjects of photography in one room at least typically young female models, and not always fully clothed but in lingerie and bikinis. I remembered these
Hannah at 35mm
It’s extremely rare for Ling to show any interest in the lenses I use when it comes to taking pictures. So it came as surprise to me when she took a look at some pictures I took of Hannah yesterday

Finally!! The Sigma 70-20mm f2.8 OS
I was thrilled yesterday to read that Sigma has just announced a lens that I’d been hoping for: their 70-20mm f2.8 optically stabilized lens! I’d blogged about this class of lens just the other month ago, but had no idea
Photography = Chaos
Comical situations occasionally come up at home. Just 30 minutes ago, Hannah was sleeping and I was working on the PC when Ling came into the workroom and said in hushed tone: “Dear, want to take pictures of Hannah? She’s
Hannah @ Play
Hannah was in one of her usual wailing moods mid-afternoon yesterday. Ling was preparing her solids feed, so it fell to me to have to ‘entertain’ and quieten her just so that the entire block of Rivervale residents don’t come
CPL + GND stack
I was remarking to Matt over MSN the other afternoon that of the lot of lens filters I’ve got, the GND – graduated neutral density – one hardly ever gets used. The filter is a bit of a last resort
