29 Jun The Light Fantastic With Olympus
Pardon the heading - part of the business of writing a weblog column is re-cycling trite phrases to suit the content. Just groan and read on...
28 Jun Welcome To The Fast And Silent
It is cold these evenings, and it takes a deal of energy to bestir yourself to go out and do something after dark. I kept this in mind as I watched the Northbridge Hotel function room fill up last night with Perth pro and enthusiast...

20 Jun The Car Barn
I'm really doing the Royal Show people a disservice with that title. The Silver Pavilion and the Robinson Pavilion are far nicer than barns - even if they do sometimes have animals on display there. Or hot rods and custom cars, as was the case...
19 Jun The Trial Run Is Up And Away
I have never used this lens before - any experiences I have with it are going to be new. Whether they will be rewarding or not depends on a number of factors: The job in hand. The degree of skill I can bring to it. ...
