    Presidential photographer Pete Souza

    I've seen something showing some of his best. He's good, very good. He managed, through his photos, to convey to everyone who Obama is. Not the job he does, but who he is. (And he supplied so much material for folks doing Barack & Joe memes :) )

    Olympus OM-D E-M5, E-M1, E-M10 - Mk1, Mk2 & Mk3 Owners Thread

    The thing to remember is the dollar price doesn't include taxes whereas ours includes VAT. That brings is closer. The CAF would need to be incredible at that price!

    More image noise developing

    There are a lot of things to consider. First, you should find an earlier shot with noise you are happy with and compare them to the recent shots where you are not happy. Post them here too, se we can have a look. Noise can become more apparent depending on a lot of factors. The sort of...

    Beginner Gig Photography - Help Needed

    Late to the party as usual. The best way to improve these shots would be to change your position. Harder than it sounds, I know. When the lighting is good, you can get some seriously awesome shots from the stage edges, but when it is as bad as you have it here, you end up missing the soul of...

    Soft Water-Overdone?

    Sorry, I think you are being cantankerous. ;) 'Soft' water is quite an important stage in the photography journey especially for those doing landscapes. It teaches a good understanding of camera techniques and is actually quite hard to get a truly stunning scene out of. We will see lots of...

    Olympus OM-D E-M5, E-M1, E-M10 - Mk1, Mk2 & Mk3 Owners Thread

    Loving these comparisons that are being done. I'm currently looking to drop most if not all of my full frame canon gear as I am really enjoying using the m43 stuff. Deciding on what I will be getting at the moment. I currently have an EM10 mark ii and some primes. I'm interested to know if...

    AM I BEING OVER CAUTIOUS ?

    I doubt you would get into any hot water. Do you want to print them? For 6x4 I could never find a case for doing them myself vs getting a lab to do them (except convenience).

    Must have M4/3 lenses ?

    My go to lens is always my 17mm F1.8 - it really is superb although a little bit on the pricey side. The 45mm F1.8 is excellent and tiny, no m43 bag is complete without one. Indeed my two lens kit is the 17mm and the 45mm. That said, I really rate the Oly 25mm F1.8 although if I were a...

    No Kids Allowed

    While it's not consoles, I run a gaming community. We have members aged 18-70 who regularly play the games we support. Many of my colleagues at work play PS4 games. Many games are rated 18+ Games consoles are most definitely not for children.

    Wedding Fayre Photo Help

    You would be better telling us what camera and lenses you have, as right now I doubt there would be a lot of point in advising lenses you don't have.

    Olympus OM-D E-M5, E-M1, E-M10 - Mk1, Mk2 & Mk3 Owners Thread

    Thanks Graham. I found I likes the shots from closer with the 25mm more - but that's not surprising because live shots from down the front are always better!

    MarmiteGate

    Exchange rates change. Prices change as a result. I'm not sure what is suprising here and I certainly don't think Tesco should be doing this. When the pound is weak (ignoring the reasons why), the UK pays more for goods which have supply chains abroad.

    How many of you have sold off your whole kit and downgraded?

    I'm currently going through the exact same process. Earlier in the year I bought an Olympus OMD-EM10 ii and a trinity of primes. It was not a cheap kit but it satisfied my need for a smaller camera that I wouldn't notice I had. It turns out that it has pretty much become my main camera. I use...

    One lens only, lets play

    I would be torn between the 35mm and 40mm equivalent on my OMD. Probably go for the 35 - ie the Oly 17mm F1.8 because it is a much nicer lens to use. Or the 35mm F2 IS on my 5D3

    Classifieds - very quiet?

    The admins have said for as long as I can remember, which is quite a long time, that the classifieds are there as a handy bonus for regular contributors to the site. So it was not a goal to make the classifieds a lesser part of the site, it was the vision that it should not be a significant...
