Be Straight And Honest.
I’ve had the Laowa 18mm f/0.95 sitting around for some time, on loan from a reader. Somehow I haven’t had the opportunity to use the lens. Because simply snapping a few test charts – that’s not what it’s for. Now I was in the Monsted limestone pit, a very large […]
It’s just been a topic again and it keeps coming up and I get emails saying “how can I support you”. Of course, I’ve been thinking about all this for almost a decade now, basically since I took over oly-e and realised that all this internet advertising stuff doesn’t even […]
This article was written at Christmas 2018. Now, over five years later, this article is also extremely “funny”. What might have been if it had been… In 2019, Olympus celebrated its 100th anniversary with a new camera that made all previous cameras look “old”: the E-M1X. A technology carrier in […]
I wrote this article in 2018 but never published it. I found it particularly interesting in light of the current situation. How people thought in 2018… On Friday we had another regulars’ table in Rocksdorf and I took the opportunity to ask the group who owned the E-M1II – and […]
Another aspect of the lens/sensor combination. What happens if you screw good lenses onto low-resolution sensors or bad lenses onto high-resolution sensors? What effect does this have on the data quality? Here we have a sensor that has a much higher resolution than the lens. Dots are displayed blurred. The […]
Eintracht Frankfurt – Hoffenheim Bundesliga match on 10/03/2024. 2:1 for Eintracht Frankfurt through Dina Ebimbe after a cross from Götze. Subsequent goal celebration on the touchline. Right in front of a Nikon photographer’s camera. A photographer and another photographer immediately join in: Mobile phone and Canon R. Mirrorless cameras have […]
Many photographers decorate their websites with quotes from more or less famous photographers, camera books and photography schools are given a touch of meaning with famous names and recently there are even photographer quote acts on YouTube. Cool. Generates traffic. I’ll go along with that. But I don’t take other […]
I have reported a few developments in the last few months where something has happened. So here is the latest news on these topics: The general meeting of the PIV is now over – it’s official, the PIV is being liquidated. Photopia in Hamburg will still take place in autumn […]
Verdi (a German trade union) has developed an online fee calculator for “creative professionals”. This is also accessible to non-members and is intended to give a rough overview of what a reasonable calculation looks like. The most important thing is the “categorisation”. There are four levels: EG5, EG9b, EG11 and […]
I have once again received a link to an article that deals with AI. Apparently, VMWare (an American company for cloud computing software) has delivered a study according to which the creation of instructions for the AI, the so-called “prompt”, is done much more efficiently by the AI itself. This […]
This is not a premature April Fool’s joke, even if it reads like one. Swarowski has brought a pair of binoculars onto the market that has a bird detection function. Not as we know it from cameras – it puts a frame around the bird and focuses on it. Nope […]
… then you’ll find out the absolute top tip that you’ve never heard of and that we promised you in the video description. No, this is not clickbait. And while you’re at it, subscribe and thumbs and bell and be sure to comment. I’m sick of hearing and seeing it. […]
