21 Apr Dearly Beloved…
We are gathered here to hear Brother Williams speak to us of the wonders of Fujifilm. The border restrictions have eased and he is allowed out of the house - and just as importantly - back in again. As owners of Siamese cats will attest, this is a vital function...
19 Apr Wanderlust And the Well-Balanced
Let's make it clear, I'm not writing about people who have a sane and equable temper here - I mean people who can go across a darkened lounge room without falling over. People who can walk on the edge of precipices more than once. Not me. The Wanderlust shop in Hay Street mall has a wonderful selection of toys for these individuals. You've seen the Segway trolleys and scooting boots in a previous column and i cn attest that they really do work...
16 Apr Sea Fever In Hay Street Mall
I must go down to the sea again To the lonely sea and the sky. And all I ask is a fancy drone And an app to steer her by. That distant thrashing sound is Coleridge in his grave...

12 Apr New-Mount Canon Cinema
Bear with me. I have been shown a marvellous Canon camera that I cannot fully appreciate - I can only parrot what I've been told. I'm not a video shooter. Indeed the last movie I went to see had Danny Kaye in it and it cost 2/6d to get in. I could even afford a choc bomb without having to take out a loan from the bank. The chief selling feature of the new Canon EOS C 70 seems to be the use of the RF lens mount. These are the Canon lenses intended for their line of mirror-less still cameras ( themselves quite capable in the video line ) and have extremely good performance on the Canon sensors. The literature refers to the format as super 35, though there seem to be a number of choices that users can make about the size and shape of recording field. There is even one that makes a portrait-orientation shot intended for inclusion on smart devices. That's good thinking as so many people use social media sites to show their productions. Okay, the lit....
09 Apr Four Is More – The Fujifilm X-E4 In Hand
Do you trust people who write camera columns? I sometimes wonder at them - they say everything is the best thing since sliced bread but they never offer you a free sandwich...
07 Apr Flyin’ Down The Jpeg Line
I'm always on the catch-up as far as the computer goes - I operate a Mac that doesn't have the latest operating system. And I've resisted the calls to upgrade as it would cancel out my printer and scanner. The result is I am always a little behind the clock with RAW file decoding. I can't boil down Fujifilm X-E4 files. Anything I shoot with it has to be jpeg...
