Posted on 6 Jan 201425 Feb 2017   by Ling

Computer Assembly – 2014 Edition

Posted on 28 Dec 201325 Feb 2017   by CY

If there’s one thing I dislike about living in this part of the island, it’s the amount of dust that gets blown around the house. When we first moved in our current home, we actually had a routine where we’d

Posted on 18 Dec 201325 Jan 2024   by CY

Accessorising the E-M5 – Part 2

Posted on 9 Dec 20133 Apr 2018   by CY

Continuing from the first post on accessories for the E-M5. Unlike the couple of Nikon (D)SLRs I’ve had, the E-M5 uses an electronic viewfinder, which itself is a prodigious user of battery power. The pair of Nikon DSLRs for instance
