    Book cover - unsure about the "look" of it.

    I like #1 and #5, though if I were using #1 I'd give the runner some more head room

    Thanks you two, BYOB10 it is.

    Rucksack Inserts - Any Recommendations?

    My photography has grown out of my love for the mountains and outdoors in general and I've always used a 'proper' rucksack rather than a photo-rucksack for reasons of comfort, plus as a micro 4/3 photographer I generally don't need all that much gear. I've now booked myself into a week-long...

    On1 Photo Raw 2021

    ON1 2021 is my only RAW editor (apart from Olympus Workspace) and I love it - and sometimes get frustrated by performance issues. The step up from 2020 to 2021 and 2021.5 was incremental rather than significant. Unless you've upgraded to a new camera that wasn't supported by the previous version...

    Camera backpack for hiking all day?

    To be honest, I've yet to see a camera rucksack that I would use. I've come to photography via mountaineering rather than the other way round and a comfortable day bag was always a priority. I have relatively small kit (m43) and find that an Osprey Stratos 36 l does the job nicely. Good back...

    Adobe haters, I have a question for you

    Hate is a strong word, though I did recently pen the term Adobophobe to describe myself. Subscription was the number one reason for looking elsewhere. The processing package I found (ON1 Photo Raw if you're interested) does most things that LR and PS do between them (filters, masks, layers etc.)...

    The GAS confessional - all who suffer are welcome. :)

    My EM1.3 and 100-400 arrived on Tuesday, a mere two months after ordering them. If the lens is anything like my old Lumix 100-300, you're guaranteed not to see any birds of prey within shooting distance ever again I swear that thing's got a curse on it!

    Landscape people on YouTube - post your recommendations please

    Well you can't mention Gavin without alluding to Adam Gibbs: https://www.youtube.com/user/AGibbsPhotography Then there's Henry Turner (can't believe no-one's mentioned him yet, or did I overlook something?): https://www.youtube.com/user/HNT182 and Ian Worth...

    Micro Four Thirds or APS-C for landscape / hiking?

    Absolute dream team. They play very nicely together! If you can pick this combo up for a decent price second hand, get it. You'll never look back! Plus it's great for close-ups of plants and insects. Minimal focal distance 7.5 cm (correct me someone if I'm wrong)

    Micro Four Thirds or APS-C for landscape / hiking?

    Two years ago I was asking myself the same question and decided to go with m4/3 / Olympus and haven't looked back since. Absolutely cracking kit. GreenNinja67 mentions noise, but given the massive image stabilisation with the EM-1s, this will seldom be an issue. Point in case, one of my earliest...

    Mirrorless Technique vs DSLR

    Yeah, but then I've got to wear them all the time

    Mirrorless Technique vs DSLR

    I almost exclusively use the EVF off the tripod, and reluctantly use the back screen when on - reluctantly because it means I have to don my glasses, whereas the EVF has diopter adjustment.

    What PP software?

    ON1 Photo Raw, great package for landscape photography, does everything that I'd want from LR + PS - editing, masks, layers. Really powerful tool.
