Photographing Animals with Nikon 1 – Guest Post by Thomas Stirr

18/03/2016 By Heather

Like many folks I enjoy taking photographs of various animals including mammals, reptiles, birds and bugs. I’ve never been on a safari or done any kind of wilderness photography adventure. As a result my images are a mix of captive specimens as well as photographs of species that are either local to me or are ones that I found while on vacation.

My Move to Mirrorless Weddings – Guest post by Steve Gemmell

17/02/2016 By Heather

As a professional UK-based Hertfordshire wedding photographer of some twelve years standing I have now switched to a completely mirrorless camera system. I started using a Fujifilm X-Pro1 camera four years ago and have gradually progressed to two X-T1s an X-E1, an X100T and also a Ricoh GR11. I have now sold all of my Canon kit which I used for many years.

My Journey to the Olympus System – Guest post by Craig Roberts

Pentax P30, Canon T90, Mamiya RZ67, Fuji GX617, Holga, Zero Image 2000, Canon 5D, Panasonic GF1, Canon 5D MKII, Olympus E-M5, Olympus E-P5, Olympus E-M1 … that’s my camera history in brief! The most significant thing since the Mamiya and the Fuji is how my cameras have shrunk in size. I still can’t believe the weight I used to carry around with a full kit of camera body, lenses and filters. No wonder I have a weak back these days!

I still have the Canon gear, but it’s getting used less and less these days. I can see it being sold in the not too distant future, as it seems to spend more time at home sat in a Lowepro bag than out on-location taking pictures.

The Champions Go for a Drive – Guest Post by Hugh Hastings

The time is half-past-high noon in posh south west London and have I am standing in a fenced-off part of high value real estate being pelted by sticks of celery from some of the 100,000 people gathered here.

It’s the day after the end of the English football season and the new champions, Chelsea FC, are about to go on their open top bus victory parade through the closed-off streets of Fulham. My job is to walk in front of the convoy of three buses on their mile-long journey and capture images of the team celebrating. I am the only photographer accredited by Chelsea to this position and for company I have just twenty-two security guards walking alongside me in strict v-shaped formation.
