We are continuing to populate the new website with images, it is a daunting task, we have over 75000 images to work through…

Keywording is the hardest part, I wish that someone would come up with a keywording program that replicates most stock photo houses keywording system. Feel free to add any suggestions via the comments.

Panasonic Gh2 Noise Review

Here is a good review of The Panasonic GH2′s Noise and best apertures.

Many of is are now give a long hard look at the Four Thirds system and Sony’s NEX. Mirrorless and EVF are the future, but have they surpasses DSLR’s?

Noise is a big issue and the Four Thirds system has improved dramatically especially with the GH2. We will be posting GH2 samples in the near future.

Here is the page, I will be adding content shortly. For now, there is a link to an old comparison between the Contax 17-35mm and various other lenses. A must read for wide angle Canon shooters.

Here we have a very good review of UV and Polarizing filters by Lenstip. They even comment on the usability, and flare associated with each filter. All in all a very good test, and one that could save you a LOT of money!

Getting Ready

Check out our article on getting ready for that trip! We know that getting ready for any trip requires a ton of preparation! What lenses do I take, which camera bodies, how much weight am I willing to pack around, which bags – well you get the idea…

Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome,

Here I intend to blog about travel photography, how to prepare for that trip, what gear to take along, what lenses were used. What Airlines to use, baggage allowance, the best seats, how to get that precious gear on board etc… I’ll also be reviewing each trip that I take, what worked and what didn’t.

The best thing to do is bookmark this page and check back regularly. Spain will be published very shortly.

Thank you

Andrew
