    To add a little to this. Whilst the products have been removed from the website to download/purchase they are still available in the Apple App Store (iPad) and are all free. No idea if they are available within the android/Google ecosystem. So whilst the future of them is currently unclear you...

    Nice set Trev. You glad you took the plunge back into Song land now you’ve had longer with your gear?

    Was your choice the right one?

    I don't know about interesting! I haven't really got a focus. I like a bit of everything genre wise and the GX9 is currently doing it for me. I have recently picked up the 20mm 1.7 and for it faults and failings I'm enjoying using it and being 'forced' to consider my shot more. I feel that...

    Was your choice the right one?

    I started with a Nikon D5600 that I got as I was enjoying general phone photography but wanted more. The D5600 gave it in spades compared to the phones at the time but what I didn’t give it was time and sold it about 18 months later and went back to my phone as it was easier. I stayed like...

    Lol. You mad man. Totally jealous of course. Enjoy and I look forward to seeing what you capture with your new toy.

    Nice shots Dave. Leaning towards the B&W version.

    Ones For The Walls.

    Like this Dale. Must be nice to look at them and know it’s all your own work. I don’t have anything yet I feel is good enough to grace the walls however I hope to at some point.

    Olympus OM-D E-M5, E-M1, E-M10 - Mk1, Mk2 & Mk3 Owners Thread

    For reference and possibly/maybe helpful. I have a now fairly unsuitable older intel based MacBook Pro with integrated graphics and only 8GB ram. Photolab takes around 3-4 minutes to process a single 24mb approx (from my GX9) Raw file using DeepPrime (not XD as I only have PL5) and also took...

    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    Possibly a case of image choice and maybe even demosaicing(sp?) for a given camera. My use case is currently skewed towards portraits of my girls and just general family stuff with a bit of wildlife thrown in. I think iirc you skew more towards landscape and architecture? Possibly DXO extracts...

    Well I’m on phone at the minute but even going on Flickr to me they are indistinguishable. I did a lot of testing on my images both from the XT-4 and the GX9. My end conclusion was that LR was as good if not better in some situations (eyebrows/lashes/hair looks better to my eyes in LR) to...

    How do you use LRC and LR ?

    I use LRc on my MacBook mostly and just use LR (mobile/cloud/whatever) on my iPad Pro for an extra storage point for my completed and exported to jpeg images so I have access to them whenever and wherever I may want that access. I will also have the iPad with me when away and I will look over...

    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    Yeah. Forgot about the marked aperture aspect of the constant 2.8. I never really thought about it as I was always looking through EVF or at the screen so seeing what my ‘f’ was there. My point regarding the reliability of the WR was not a slight or criticism. I used it in some very wet...

    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    @Topsy may have his own reasons but when I had it the weather sealing (for what it may actually be worth) was more important than the fixed 2.8 although that was nice too. To my eyes the 16-55 was sharper throughout (pixel peeping though). I would say having had both and with the benefit of...

    What is your most used camera and why ?

    My GX9 because it’s now the only camera I own besides my phone. I got it to go alongside my XT-4 and use when I didn’t want the size of that. The quality of the files to my eyes at least were pretty much indistinguishable and in some situations I was getting a better hit rate with the GX9 so I...

    New project: In the shadow of...

    Sounds like a good idea. A nice balance to the otherwise ‘dark’ mood of this project. Look forward to seeing what you do with it if you do go ahead.
