Launched with little fanfare and then, according to Olympus, quickly gaining favour with the market, the Olympus E-5 DSLR should attract much attention down the track. Using the Four Thirds system, the E-5 is a little startling in its size and weight. When compared to the recently tested budget Nikon D3100 camera, the E-5 is [...]
Simple is not always simpler! I knew little about this piece of technology (the Panasonic HM-TA1.) before I laid eyes and hands on the actual gear itself so, in my usual gung ho approach, I tapped the little power button, pressed a few appropriate buttons and shot some movies and stills. Did I get what [...]
This book won’t help you set the right exposure for a shot, nor will it help you compose, add filtration or do a later digital clean up when all has gone wrong. Authors Greenberg and Reznicki deal with the legal side of picture-making in its 126 pages: copyright, model releases, asserting your rights, pricing your [...]
The advent of digital cameras initially caused, and is still responsible for, a tsunami of excitement. The excitement is enjoyed not so much for experienced photographers but for the vast numbers of people out there who just like photographs, not for their intrinsic value, but for what you can do with photos: embellish a coffee [...]
Plenty of people thought the advent of digital cameras would remove the need for filters. Wrong! All it did was open up even more possibilities by way of post-shoot digital filtration/manipulation. There are two ways to go: you may need filtration to correct the quality and characteristics of the ambient light; or you may desire [...]
This is the first of this type of book I’ve come across: a guide to a thoroughbred strain of cameras, the models in the lineup, a feature list of each as well as a rundown on the lenses and accessories to suit. For Canon the release of the first EOS, the D30 in May 2000, [...]
I recall making a review of the earlier ‘Joy of DP’ back in July 2007, describing is as “more about the art, not the nuts and bolts,” and recommending it as “Ideal for the less techy.” The New Joy continues on the same path, presented as a handsome 28x22cm book with author Wignall’s message that [...]
Author of Digital Photography Crash Course Jeff Wignall describes his book as offering “easy to apply two minute tips that will motivate you to improve the images you take… At a pace of about one per page the tips come a’rolling until 100+ tips with accompanying pictures have passed your eyes. It caught me right [...]
There are master classes in everything: from cooking the perfect soufflé to constructing a brick wall. So why not one in outdoor photography? Ten years ago author Niall Benvie wrote two books on shooting outdoors. He confesses he was relieved after the two years’ labour expended in their creation and, as he says, “retired from [...]
Having survived a recent avalanche of maxi-zoom compact digicams, it comes as something of a relief to engage with this more modest but still well-featured camera. The Nikon Coolpix P7000 wins on a number of points: its moderate dimensions, with a pocketable thickness of about 45mm; another is the 15mm CCD, capturing 10.1 million effective [...]
