    Fun with 4/3rds cameras/ Image Thread

    I'm a gear-head. Literally. OM-1, DG 12-60 or Lumix 45f2.8

    Fun with 4/3rds cameras/ Image Thread

    A few from a West Yorkshire village called Heptonstall, which has retained so much character. Always worth a visit for photography if in the area. All OM-1 with the Oly PRO 7-14 f4. Conversion in Silver Efex with a recipe I created which I call 'Don McCullin2' HDR, 5 frames converted in HDR...

    Fun with the Ricoh GR III

    Really effective contre-jour here. Great b&w conversion. Great photography from a great camera.

    Fun with the Ricoh GR III

    It's a great landscape camera, too. GRIII.

    Fun with the Ricoh GR III

    This series shows what a fantastic camera the Ricoh GR is. I've got into trouble before for suggesting that if you are serious about photography you should have one of these cameras. But I stand by my beliefs and these photographs support them!

    Fun with 4/3rds cameras/ Image Thread

    Windfarms in West Yorkshire, all near Hebden Bridge. OM-1, Lumix Leica 12-60. The graininess on these last two is because of the hail storm that arrived as I was taking them. Thank goodness for weather sealing.

    Fun with 4/3rds cameras/ Image Thread

    Wow, colourful and lots of detail. Great photo and amazing to see how this lens is still such a great performner.

    The OM-3, rebirth of a legend

    The only thing that would hold me back is that the BF is a 24mpx camera and so is my Ricoh GRIII. Albeit that one is FF and the other APS-C. But I am not sure in day to day use I'd actually notice much difference. But anyway, this is an OM-3 thread so we should leave it there. As for the OM-3...

    Fun with 4/3rds cameras/ Image Thread

    OM-1, Lumix Leica DG 12-60mm, converted to monochrome in SilverEfex. Somewhere on the moors outside Haworth, West Yorkshire, earlier this week.

    The OM-3, rebirth of a legend

    Dare I say the Sigma BF excites me more than the OM-3?

    Fun with the Ricoh GR III

    Couldn't be fagged to drag my Olympus camera and lens uphill to the Top Withens on the West Yorkshire moors yesterday so I took my Ricoh GRIII instead. I'd happily print the first one 30x20 inches with no problem.

    Going from PC to Apple Mac Mini

    Experienced as I was with DEC PDP/11s I absolutely loved CPM. That is the operating system which should have become the 'DOS' instead of Microsoft DOS. imho.

    Going from PC to Apple Mac Mini

    Thanks, Godfrey. Those metrics are very helpful. 26 secs is at least 50-60% faster than my current PC. LouisB

    Going from PC to Apple Mac Mini

    Godfrey, one test I would be interested in is how long it takes for a RAW file to go through Denoise. I tend to end up with may 30-50 raw files out of 2,000 photos taken on a typical trip out to photograph birds/wildlife. On my current i7 PC with I think only 4 cores and a 6GB gpu card that...

    Going from PC to Apple Mac Mini

    Interesting career. I love the DEC minis but as soon as I started working on PCs - or rather Apple PCs initially - that was it. I never worked on a mini or mainframe again either as a developer or on the projects I was involved with. I was also early through the gate with web development. Pretty...
