Be Straight And Honest.
I had already posted a few real-life pictures and a first impression at the FolyFos. Today I took the lens into the studio and – what can I say – the disillusionment was huge. Yes, the lens is crisp in the center even at f/0.95. The barrel is not very pronounced and […]
Frank wrote in the photographers’ quotes: “How do most people photograph a subject, that’s exactly how you shouldn’t do it”. I know that from others too. Don’t snap the postcards, look behind things. Or “Don’t shoot on the twelve, everyone does that.” After a few real fails, I no longer share this […]
I received a message from a friend saying that she had met a colleague who was also out and about with Olympus equipment. He knew me – not personally, of course – and didn’t like me because he had asked me a question once and I hadn’t been nice in my answer. […]
Heute Abend das 44. FolyFos. Diesmal mit ein paar ernsten, unter Umständen teueren Themen. Und natürlich wieder Userfragen. Den Link zum FolyFos gibt’s wieder nicht hier, sondern hier: https://oly-e.de/gruppen/folyfos-stammtisch/forum/topic/44-folyfos-5-4-2024-1930 Und damit man das kucken kann, braucht man einen Account bei oly-e und muss sich in der Gruppe angemeldet haben. Account gibt’s bei […]
Pretty much all photo manufacturers are currently outdoing each other in spreading great photo tips among their customers. Flash manufacturer Jinbei is one of them. Like many other manufacturers, it has a “blog” on its website. And just like many other manufacturers, it has not understood “blog”. A “blog” is a web […]
I actually thought that the equivalence discussion was “over” by now, because it had become generally accepted that you can’t compare a 35mm sensor with a medium format sensor with a cell phone sensor with a whatever. That was probably a mistake. There is still a lot of conversion going on. Equivalent […]
I’ve just received an e-mail from Hamburg Messe: Hamburg Messe und Congress will not be continuing the PHOTOPIA Hamburg imaging festival, as it is not economically viable in the current difficult market environment. “Our aim is to offer attractive and high-quality events. In our opinion, PHOTOPIA will not be able to realise […]
Another old article. From January 2019, when “people photography” was “in” – now it’s apparently bird photography. But nothing else has changed. In recent years, many self-taught photographers have managed to reinterpret the term “professional photography”. A “professional” is no longer someone who sells his craftsmanship or journalistic work, but someone who […]
I’ve already written about it several times: I was doing research in Vienna at the beginning of March. I also went to the Fotozentrum in Krems and had a long chat with the two people there. Something will happen (suspense, suspense) but it will be a few weeks before I go outside […]
Osaka University of Technology – Ōsaka kōgyō daigaku – has launched a project to research methods for evacuating areas: We conduct research and development into the construction of an evacuation guidance support platform for regions expected to be subject to flooding, fire, and earthquake damage, via AI for predicting localized torrential rain, […]
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 artificial cave […]
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 bring in […]
