Is Yours On The List?
An outfit called Electronics Hub has analysed tweets to determine whether or not they are complaints and, if so, the product concerned. Cameras are included and PetaPixel has a list of the top ten most heavily criticised models. The causes of people's anguish are not recorded but the forums on DPRev...

Re: Is this off camera flash theory correct?
I thought that given both the Godox and Calumet use the same frequency - 2.4GHz - I could use the XPro to fire the Calumet receiver attached to another flash (in this case a Metz 44). These devices usually have a function to configure separate channels. It is there so that if two people are shootin...

If You Thought The Cameras Were Expensive ........
Leica watches, priced at $10k and $14k respectively for the L1 and L2. They are not currently available at any UK outlet, so allow extra for tax. Not really a problem for anyone spending that much on a watch. https://www.dpreview.com/news/0929154161/leica-s-new-l1-and-l2-timepieces-will-cost-you-mor...

Forensic Photography
I had a small chuckle when I saw this report of a vintage Soviet camera being used in ITV's current Sunday night drama, Trigger Point. Normally, I pay attention when a camera is shown on screen but missed this one. In the most recent episode, a forensic photographer was shown taking close-up shots u...

Photo of the Month 2022 - Mizpah II (January)
During the past couple of years I have started a photo-a-week challenge. Each time, I have found myself floundering after a few weeks when faced with posting an indifferent image. The ensuing indecision resulted in other images backing up and I abandoned the project. Relying solely on chance and opp...

The Future of Ricoh and Pentax?
The Amateur Photographer website has two articles adjacent to each other that seemingly make similar statements. The first is from Ricoh, which sells cameras both under its own name and Pentax. While details are unclear, it is scaling back production and switching to a direct sales model. The Ricoh ...

Re: Home of Photography
One further thought about progress of photography. In the early days, emulsions reacted so slowly to light that exposure times were measured in minutes. Shutters did not exist as all that was needed was a lens cap and watch to get the desired result. Precise accuracy of the duration that the lens wa...

Avebury Imagined
A further teaser for my presentation at the club next Wednesday, "Getting the Shot". I "took" this at Avebury on Monday when the weather conditions were nothing like what I show here. It was raining when I arrived and the sky remained overcast after it stopped. It is quite possib...

Re: 12th Jan model shoot
Thanks, Paul. It is good to see these shots from a meeting that I did not attend.

I visited Lacock Abbey recently. It is where Fox Talbot, one of the pioneers of photography lived. Contrary to what we used to be told, photography was a French invention and Fox Talbot's contribution was the introduction of the negative which allowed multiple copies of prints to be made. The first ...
