is my photography blog. The idea is that I post an image on here at least once a month and try to increase that when time and talent allow.
Simply click any image to view it on Flickr; there you can zoom in, view it full screen or browse other images I've published.

Olympus Micro Four Thirds. I started using Olympus again to reduce the size of my daily carry bag.
for this blog is to provide some level of accountability to myself. If I have to update this regularly then I have to take photographs, post-process them and upload them.
I have had a bad habit in the past of taking lots of photos, looking at them on my laptop and never sharing with others.
Olympus OM-D E-M5, Olympus 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 and 40-150mm f/4-5.6 along with the flash, spare SD cards and batteries.
I carry this in my Peak Design Sling and sometimes I add my Toshiba Click Mini.
This is my lightened down kit bag. I have three kids now and carrying my D7100, D5300 and a set of primes, an ultra wide and a superzoom doesn't really work as well.
button focus for single point autofocus and exposure lock on half button press. Most of the time this gives me a focus that's as good as I'd get using manual with focal confirmation.
I've found that Nikon's central weighted colour is usually about the best for my subjects but I like the D7XXX ability to change that easily on the fly.
and storage I have a process that has evolved over the years.
I use digiKam to download, organise and tag my images. I store them on my laptop with continual backup of anything I do.
I use darktable to process raw images and post process.
I use hugin for panorama and my small attempts at HDR.
I upload my photos to Flickr and store them there for the world to view.
based on what I’ll be doing in a day and where I’ll be going. What I put in my bag can include:
Nikon D7100
Nikon D5300
10-20mm ultra wide
35, 50 or 180mm primes
55-300mm zoom
150-500mm super zoom
Sometimes, depending on the day, it also includes a laptop or a tripod.
