CAMERA JUNK ON LEWIS COLLARD DOT COM Cameras and other things. or, "his whole site is just him ranting"-- Medusula A little collection of technical and opinion articles.

The Canon A-1: The best camera of all time. This is the Canon A-1, a legendary and very advanced (for its time) manual focus 35mm SLR camera made from 1978 to 1985, and also the best camera ever made.Really, I don't know how these things find themselves idle, or how anyone could like them so little that they make their way onto eBay or car boot fairs. KODAK EKTAR 100 REVIEW, BY LEWIS COLLARD! Kodak Ektar is an extremely-fine-grain, very saturated colour negative film that obsoletes all colour negative films and most slide films for landscape and still photography. It has a lot of shadow detail (far too much for my tastes), far-beyond-rated dynamic range, and very natural-looking contrast. ALL PHOTOGRAPHY WEBSITES SUCK. Everything you've learned from (bad) photography websites is wrong. Of course, someone's going to take that literally and write me to tell me that there are probably pages out there that agree with me, so here goes: I don't mean literally everything.You can sleep well now, without writing me, after you've ensured that all of your pencils are lined up with each other.LEWIS COLLARD!

CHEAP FILM CAMERAS FOR FILM PHOTOGRAPHY BEGINNERS, FROM Cheap film cameras. Since my page on getting started with film photography was one of the more popular pages on my site, I figured I'd write a little guide on the best film cameras you can buy on the cheap. Here it is! Remember I am limiting this to either cameras I own, have used, or come highly recommended by people whose opinions Itrust.
THE CANON A-1 ON LEWIS COLLARD DOT COM Canon A-1. The Canon A-1: The best camera of all time. This is the Canon A-1, a legendary and very advanced (for its time) manual focus 35mm SLR camera made from 1978 to 1985, and also the best camera ever made.Really, I don't know how these things find themselves idle, or how anyone could like them so little that they make their way onto eBay or car boot fairs. KODAK EKTAR 100 REVIEW, BY LEWIS COLLARD! Kodak Ektar is an extremely-fine-grain, very saturated colour negative film that obsoletes all colour negative films and most slide films for landscape and still photography. It has a lot of shadow detail (far too much for my tastes), far-beyond-rated dynamic range, and very natural-looking contrast.

This is the Yongnuo RF-600TX transmitter and RF-602RX receiver, collectively known (when sold with one receiver) as the RF-602C.They are a set of cheap and flimsy radio triggers which work great for taking your flash off-camera on thecheap.

-------------------------NEW THINGS!
FRIDAY, 21ST SEPTEMBER, 2018: UPGRADES Hey, only a minor and boring technical update here, but hopefully one that makes everyone's lives a bit nicer: I've moved my site onto a more powerful (and more expensive) server. A side-effect of the move is that this site uses HTTPS, which makes everyone a bit safer. A handy side-effect of _that_ is that this site now supports HTTP/2 for the 80-ish percent of browsers that know how to speak it, which makes it even faster! (From the UK, I'm measuring 68 milliseconds for my latest article to become readable, and a mere 0.8 seconds till all the images have loaded. This is awesome!) I don't expect anything to have been lost in the transition, but if you spot anything weird going on around the site let me know. Thankyou <3
SUNDAY, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 2018 NEW ARTICLE: the Nikon 18-200mm VR (the original, non-II version). It's probably the most useful lens for cropped-sensor Nikon digital cameras! AND ANOTHER NEW ARTICLE: the original Fujifilm X100 . I loved this camera very much, I wanted to love it forever, and sold it out of frustration with its slowoperation.
Yep, it takes forever for me to write new articles; I need to use something for at least a few months before I am sure I've found all the stuff that might annoy me about a camera or lens. In the case of the X100, I wanted to write with a clear head long after I ragequit it, and in the case of the lens I've used it for so long that I am onmy second 18-200mm!
SUNDAY, 29TH JANUARY, 2017 At last: THE ANCIENT 8 FPS PRO SLR DEATHMATCH! Nikon D2Hs vs Canon EOS 1D Mark II! I spend at least a few months with any of my cameras before writing about them, so these things tend to be a while in the making. Also, my drifting site recently got a gorgeous visual makeover by pro designer Chiara Mensa , so check it out. :) TUESDAY, 10TH MAY, 2016 My site has always been a negative-profit operation, run out of my wallet for the benefit of photographers and (especially!) people who want to get into photography. I fully intend that it will stay thatway, forever.
This site exists because I like helping and entertaining people, which means I can improve my site in ways that might make life a bit harder for me but will make your visits a little better. As such, I made a couple of little changes: * MY SITE NO LONGER LOADS GOOGLE ANALYTICS OR ANY EXTERNAL TRACKING SCRIPTS, which will make my site load a little bit faster and means you are no longer being tracked by third parties. I used to love being able to see who was linking to me, but Analytics became increasingly useless due to spammers, so I removed it. The spammers accidentally did something for the common good! * THIS SITE NO LONGER LOADS ANY FONTS FROM GOOGLE . My site looks as good/bad in Georgia (or if you don't have that, your operating system's standard serif font) as it does in anything else, so who cares? Enjoy your even-faster, not-being-tracked-by-Google lewiscollard.com! Oh, and photography? I added thousands of new photographs to Horsepower the other weekend. COMING UP NEXT: THE FUJI X100. Plus, the _CANON EOS 1D MARK II!_ _Yeah baby_, there's going to be another bargain SLR deathmatch , this time with mid-2000s, 8-frames-per-second professional SLRs! SATURDAY, 16TH MARCH, 2016 A reader asked how big he can print from a 4.1 megapixel Nikon D2H . Let's talk about big prints from low-resolutioncameras!
THURSDAY, 17TH SEPTEMBER, 2015 I fully support the Death to Bullshit campaign - I love giving people a little ad-free, nagging-free oasis, and the fan mail tells me a lot of people appreciate it, too. (I love my readers who write in; they're invariably cool and interesting people. Even the occasional hate mails are almost intelligent andlogical!)
The guy who cleaned my sensor that I promoted a while back (read about him a bit further down this page) seems to have disappeared, so I went to see Image Evolve in Ipswich to clean my sensor. They did a fantastic job, at a very good price (£30!), so thanks! Go see them if you're anywhere near Ipswich! Here's what I would like to do, though. IF YOU OR YOUR COMPANY RUNS AN INDEPENDENT SENSOR CLEANING SERVICE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, I WILL PROMOTE YOU FOR FREE ON MY WEBSITE. I am especially interested in people that will do this outside of London. If I get at least ten of you, I'll put together a page on my site to promote you, and hey, if you're within a reasonable travelling distance of King's Lynn I might even use you every couple of months. Email me. _So what has Lewis been up to?_ Oh you know, just taking photographs and stuff. :) Luke Riches, NADT Run The Wall at Swaffham Raceway, 2015-09-12.

A photographer, a friend of all, a man whose work inspired me. Driftfamily forever.
FRIDAY, 23RD JANUARY, 2015 This was overdue: A BIG UPDATE TO MY ARTICLE ON THE NIKON D2HS . More photos and more words! It's still a fantastic camera that gets fantastic results, without any qualifiers like "for a ten-year-old digital SLR". SATURDAY, 13TH DECEMBER, 2014 ANNOUNCING: HORSEPOWER , A MOTORSPORTS GALLERY BY ME. If you wondered what I've been doing photography-wise since April, here it is! SUNDAY, 6TH APRIL, 2014 Hey, I'm now on Tumblr where I will be posting stuff that doesn't go into my gallery , mostlydrift racing stuff.
I've also been on Google+ for a while (which is much of the same stuff). Come say hi! SUNDAY, 23RD MARCH, 2014 NEW ARTICLE: the Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-D . A bargain as far as f/2.8 telephotos go, but for DX cameras with subjects that stay still, use the 55-200mm VR at a seventh of the pricebought new.
FRIDAY, 7TH MARCH, 2014 Time for a couple of recommendations. So, I made the mistake of changing lenses while shooting drift racing, and my Nikon D2Hs's sensor got pretty filthy. What I learned, is that if you live any substantial distance north of London, IT IS VERY, VERY HARD TO FIND A PLACE THAT WILL CLEAN YOUR DIGITAL SLR'S SENSOR. After a lot of digging, for someone that works a sensible distance from me (I know what couriers are like, so I refuse to post it), I found a guy that does. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE SENSOR CLEAN SERVICE (link dead as of 2015-07-03). He is in Birmingham, and he did a beautiful job of cleaning my sensor. He's not especially expensive, either; it's £35 _regardless of the size of your sensor_. Better yet, he "took the liberty" (in his words) of cleaning months worth of drift racing dust off my camera. The D2Hs came back so clean on the outside that I had to fight back tears when I saw it! I am paid nothing to say this, and won't be paid a penny if you get your sensor cleaned by him; I paid full price. This is a sincere recommendation from one photographer to the rest of you. My second recommendation is for you all to check out Esther Turner . I saw her busking in Birmingham after I picked up my camera and she has a lovely voice. Hey, can you believe that this was shot with the ancient D2Hs at ISO _1400_? Yup, it _still_ looks fantastic at any non-pushed ISO! FRIDAY, 21ST FEBRUARY, 2014 NEW ARTICLE: The Nikon bargain digital SLR deathmatch! D2H vs D200 vs D70 vs D1! SUNDAY 9TH FEBRUARY, 2014 New in the gallery: 99 problems but a drift ain't one. The D2Hs is still
superb!
SATURDAY 8TH FEBRUARY, 2014 Today I found out that "died in a photography accident" returns no results on Google. It does now! _Hey Lewis, don't do that to us, where are your super camera reviews?_ said like one person. Teaser: Oh yes. _The Nikon F5 is unbelievable._ It is as easy to use as a digital camera and as fast as a D2Hs . _It is truly beyond comparison with any film camera I have ever used, and probably ever made._ Wow. Review coming. (I have a couple of digital articles in the queue as well, which might be done first.) FRIDAY 20TH DECEMBER, 2013 NEW ARTICLE: Yongnuo RF-600TX and RF-602RX radio flash triggers. They're cheap!
NEW GALLERY: Vehicles . Only a small one (but it will grow!). Some old, some new. :) FRIDAY, 25TH OCTOBER, 2013 NEW ARTICLE: the Nikon D2Hs . FRIDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER, 2013; OR, DON'T BURN OUT KIDS, IT'S NOT GOODFOR YOU
Oh hello. I'm back!
The weird rant I had about quitting, well, sorry about that (and thanks to the people who registered their concern with me). As Vinay Gupta told me: _If you burn out, just do something else until you feel better._ That's what I did! I took a few weeks away from it, I'm shooting again, and if you use the number-of-shots-taken metric I've shot more in the last _week_ than I did in the whole year up until my burn-out. Which is nice! Also, I've been shooting this:Stay tuned!
(Yeah, the weird rant has gone. Sorry about that. The original is out there if you want it badly enough. The offer to download and copy everything here remains and is irrevocable.) THURSDAY, 1ST AUGUST, 2013 You can now download everything I've written or taken for free thanksto archive.org :
* Download all of my site as a tar.gz file, This includes all my articles and all of the medium-resolution versions of images as displayed in my gallery. It should also have all links fixed so that they will point to your localcopy.

Which is to say, _please_ go ahead and copy all my stuff, and use it in any way you see fit. No, you don't have to ask permission to paste one of my articles into your blog, set one of my pictures as your wallpaper, use a photo in your school report, or do anything else with any of my stuff. I'd love to hear about any great things you do with my pictures, though. FRIDAY, 15TH MARCH, 2013 NEW ARTICLE: M42 compatibility with digital camera systems.
MONDAY, 4TH MARCH, 2013 NEW ARTICLE: the Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 . I've been using it on-and-off for half a decade, so this is a littleoverdue!
I'm experimenting with the star-ratings at the top of that one. The downside of the fact that _I ramble too much_ is that if you're just skimming what I read, it's hard to tell what I actually think about something without reading me carefully. I figured I could either 1) not be so boring, or 2) put a brief summary at the top for people who are in a rush. I did #2! Meanwhile, I'm slowly (very slowly) upgrading the pictures on my various review pages to 800-pixels-wide, up from 500 when I first started doing this site. 500 just isn't big enough for modern screens. It's a slow process because sometimes I have to track down the original photographs on my drive, when they're not photographs from my gallery . I keep all the originals, of course, but with tens of thousands of them they're often not easy to find. SUNDAY, 17TH FEBRUARY, 2013: PRETTIER, PUMPS, POSTEROUS NEW LOOK: I've refreshed the look of this site a little (I'm still sticking with minimalism here). Among other things, it should look much better on mobile devices. Let me know if anything looks really weird in your browser. (But clear your cache and refresh first!) NEW IN THE GALLERY: PUMPS, II . NEW AT WIKIHOW: HOW TO TEST A USED FILM CAMERA . (This is actually a couple of months old; I'd just forgotten to link it here when Ifinished it.)
A couple of readers gave me corrections for manufacturing dates I had in a couple of articles (the Nissin 360 TW and Nikon Series E 70-210mm f/4 ). Ilove my readers!
Posterous is closing , so I've gotta move what little of value I had on my old Posterous blog to here. You'll probably get at least one article out of that shortly. But there's something bigger at work here: _IF YOU CARE ABOUT SOMETHING, HOST IT ON A DOMAIN YOU OWN AND HOSTINGYOU PAY FOR_.
I'm not going to join in with the chorus of "ha ha you get what you pay for and you should have made geographically redundant backups of all your stuff on at least two different kinds of physical media and oh God why is Lewis punching me in the face" nerd-outs. Nope, I'd only do that if websites weren't _implicitly urging you to trust them with all of your stuff_. But they _do_. Show me where Fotopic (_wow, they suck_) said "we're so incompetent that we literally can't build a business model around people giving us money, so don't let us be your only copy!". Show me where Posterous said "host your stuff with us - we're here at _least_ until we're acquired by another company for our talent!". _Then you would have a point._ Until then, they are not thegood guys.
I'm glad I figured all of this out a while back, long before the acquisition and consequent death of Posterous. The senseless murdering of Geocities (on which I did not have a site) brought that home to me. Jason Scott, who downloaded Geocities, was a big factor in that as well . (Warning: you can easily get lost in his archives over there. He's a great writer; he's controversial, passionate, and could easily have a career in teaching the effective and hilarious use of profanity if digital archiving didn't work out. You'd be right to see some of his style in my own; it's not because he's ever read _me_. He and his merry band are downloading Posterous, by the way.)
Here's the thing: The degree to which a company gives a damn about you is determined by whether 1) _you are giving them money_ and 2) _you can quickly and easily move all your stuff somewhere else_. But more than that, _you are a free person_, in the sense of not being at the mercy of others, to the same degree as the latter is true. See, eventually a site is either going to make money, get acquired (like Posterous), or go bust. And if it's a choice between "not punching users" and "making money", _you are going to get punched at some point_. Like when photographers expended lots of time and effort to build up substantial followings on Facebook, and then Facebook decided that if they wanted their followers to see updates they had _explicitly signed up for_, that the photographers would have to pay. That was AWESOME. And by "that was awesome" I mean _"don't be thatguy"_.
This, by the way, is why my site is actually a bunch of static HTML files. See, I like my web host plenty, and I don't see them going away any time soon. But if they _did_ decide that "punching users" was a good addition to their business model of "give people disk space and bandwidth in exchange for money", I am literally a card payment and an rsync command away from hosting all of this with someone else. Having to dump and restore databases and deal with subtle hosting incompatibilities would make that job a lot harder. I'd still switch given enough punches, but if it wasn't _convenient_ for me to host my site somewhere else, that threshold would be a lot, lot more punchy. One more thing: DON'T BE AN EARLY ADOPTER. You'll be counting on that platform being the one that wins. The odds are usually against you by definition. Posterous ended up as Tumblr food, but remember that the opposite outcome was _entirely as plausible in 2008or 2009

Be careful out there. TUESDAY, 8TH JANUARY, 2013 Nikon D70 with Nikon 50mm f/1.8D (see also: better product photographyfor free ).
The couple of digital-related articles I promised I'd finish up: the NIKON D70 and NIKON 55-200MM VR . I like them both very much. Now to get used to writing "2013" on forms! MONDAY, 31ST DECEMBER, 2012 Almost the end of the year, so I'd like to float a few things about the direction of this site for next year. I SHALL BE UPDATING MUCH MORE, IF NOT MORE OFTEN. 2012 has been a _crazy, crazy_ year for me. I'm not even sorry about that, but one of the casualties of has been my site, which I don't update as often as people would like. I'll work on that. I WON'T BE COVERING MUCH DIGITAL STUFF, mostly because everywhere else does this much better than me, even when it comes to really old stuff that nobody cares about, like the D1 . I've got a couple more digital pieces mostly written up, which will be here soon, but really, anything I write about digital won't add much to thediscussion.
(Although, inexplicably, my piece on the Samsung Galaxy S II cameraphone is by a
very large margin the most popular thing on my site. If I get my hands on an S III I'll let you know. I'd at least like to see if they've fixed the white balance problem.) THERE WILL BE A LOT MORE FILM STUFF. Film still isn't dead! But there is a shortage of objective reviews of film camera lenses. By "film camera lenses", I mean lenses for camera systems that died off before the end of the 35mm era and thus never made it onto digital cameras. I'm thinking Canon FD and M42 screw-mount, both of which I have by theboatload.
Have a prosperous 2013! THURSDAY, 8TH NOVEMBER, 2012 Oh hi. I met Tashya, who is both absurdly photogenic and a very nice person. Do go follow her on Twitter.
Tashya . Nikon D70, Nikon 55-200mm VR at 200mm and f/5.6, ISO 500 and 1/60. FRIDAY, 28TH SEPTEMBER, 2012 With the kind permission of Nick Youngman , there are now two more rare photographs of South Lynn's railways on my little tribute page to them. They are here
and here
. Thanks Nick!
TUESDAY, 25TH SEPTEMBER, 2012 _Hey, let's punch Lytro in the face somemore!_
I've seen some real-world samples from the Lytro. The guys at Lytro must be fans of my website, because all the pictures I've seen seem to have been carefully picked to prove all my scepticism correct. (Just kidding, they actually blocked me onTwitter. Ha!)
So here's some new material in that article: Real-world quality (spoiler alert: dreadful) and things that you can buy for the same money that are not the Lytro.
MONDAY, 10TH SEPTEMBER, 2012 I'M INTERVIEWED BY VIKTOR FEJES!I'm always
surprised when people take me seriously enough to ask for my opinions, especially real photographers like Viktor. But there it is! Dalibor Jankov sent me some shots from one of his cameras and the behaviour he had right before his sensor died was exactly like the behaviour I have been getting from my D1, including brief periods of working normally. So yup, it looks like my D1's sensor really is on the way out. Bummer. UPDATE: An alternative explanation comes from reader Gerhard Reininger, who suspects a battery problem. It's a possibility; I didn't even think to check the voltage coming from the battery when it happened, and the PowerSmart battery is nearly new. We'll see; I put plenty of miles on my cameras so if it's going to happen again it'll be quite soon. If it does turn out to be the battery that'll give me the motivation to build a 18650-celled pack for it.Thanks guys!
SUNDAY, 9TH SEPTEMBER, 2012: THE PLOT THICKENS, OR, A META-"WTF" Here's what my D1 was doing by the end of yesterday: WELL. I fired up my D1 this morning to see what would happen. The first shot I took looked a little bit like the shot above, except the black-with-fuzzy-purple-stripe only covered about a _quarter_ of the image, at the top, and the rest was normal. The next shot I took did not have this; it looked just fine. And now, it's back to normal: I initially suspected overheating (this started on a hot day, and I'm sure it gets _real_ toasty in a black, weather-sealed camera in hot weather), but I've shot it for longer on much hotter days than yesterday. Reader Dalibor Jankov wrote in shortly before this update and he thinks that sensor is dead. He's at least partly right (if it's not dead, it's definitely smelling funny). I'm just at a loss to explain why it would do this one day and not the next.HMM.
Meanwhile, a quickie over at wikiHow: How to Use Old Digital Cameras.
SATURDAY, 8TH SEPTEMBER, 2012: A NIKON D1 "WTF" So today, my D1 started doing this: It gets weirder if you look at it full-size. I'm stumped; did
I just kill another Nikon? I'd be grateful for any clues as to what happened. Here's some stuff you might need to know: * THERE ARE NO WEIRD SETTINGS. I've done a two-button reset toensure this.
* IT HAPPENS WITH ALL MY CF CARDS. It's not a card problem; all these cards work just fine in other cameras. * IT HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF RAW OR JPEG SETTINGS. The smearing behaviour also happens in B&W JPEGs, too. * THE BATTERY IS FINE. I'll check the voltage to make sure, but it was fully charged, and was working just great yesterday too. * THE PROBLEM CAME ON _PROGRESSIVELY._ It started out with a subtle red band towards the right, which I didn't even notice on my LCD as I shot, and progressively got worse until it looked like this. (It's currently rendering _totally_ illegible pictures worse than this one.) * THE ONLY THING THAT HAS CHANGED SINCE YESTERDAY (WHEN IT WAS WORKING) WAS ME BLOWING SOME DUST OFF THE SENSOR WITH A LITTLE BLOWER BULB. I'm super-careful to not touch the sensor, of course, but now I'm worrying that doing this could have damaged the sensor since that's the _only_ thing that changed since having a working camerayesterday.
Any clues, my lovely readers? WEDNESDAY, 5TH SEPTEMBER, 2012 Hey, since I'm shooting one old crappy digital camera, I figured now would be a good time to make it _two_. Behold, the triumphant (but temporary) return of the Canon EOS D30 ! Headstones . Canon EOS D30 , Canon EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 USM IV at 28mm and f/5, 1/80 at ISO 100Huzzah!
TUESDAY, 4TH SEPTEMBER, 2012New in the gallery:
Caidoz, V . Nikon D1 , Nikon 55-200mm VR at f/5.6 and 116mm, 1/80 at ISO 200, Nissin 360 TW flash at 1/16 power, raw file processed withDarktable .
What amazes me about shooting the beyond-ancient D1 is _how little I miss_ compared to newer, far far better cameras, and how I've gotten used to its technical limitations. So it has awful colour. _So does a Leica M9; shoot the damn thing in raw and quit whining_. It has horrendous problems with highlights. _So fix your lighting_. The D-TTL flash system sucks. _Good, a free opportunity: learn to use a manual flash gun._ It takes roughly six days to write an NEF file to the card. _Then shoot carefully_. Of course I'm going to use other cameras, but I'll be a better photographer for having used the D1. SUNDAY, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 2012 Short review of the PowerSmart battery for the Nikon D1 . It works better than Nikon's own batteries ever did! THURSDAY, 30TH AUGUST, 2012 A review of Darktable on Linux! SUNDAY, 26TH AUGUST, 2012 NEW ARTICLE: THE NIKON D1 , NIKON'S MOST IMPORTANT CAMERA OF THE 1990S. SATURDAY, 25TH AUGUST, 2012Oh hello!
Taken with the _2.7 megapixel Nikon D1 from 1999_. My D1 article is _still_ in the works; I'm mostly waiting for this bugin Darktable
to be fixed. Darktable is great, but it seems to have issues dealing with the embedded thumbnails in the D1's NEFs. (A full review of _that_ is coming too; I'd rather that bug get fixed first so I have something good to say on that count.) In the meantime, MY BUDDY VIKTOR FEJES NOW HAS A REAL WEBSITE . You should probably go check him out. (It's mostly in Hungarian, but who cares, the photographs are not.) SUNDAY, 12TH AUGUST, 2012 New in the gallery: Tiny teddy goes to the Norfolk Arena.
SATURDAY, 11TH AUGUST 2012: OH BABY Shot taken with a Nikon D1. That's a 2.7 MEGAPIXEL NIKON D1 FROM 1999, kids. Of course a full review is coming. In the meantime, here is a guy that I really like talking about the D1. SUNDAY, 29TH JULY, 2012 A NEW ARTICLE ON ONE OF THE BEST CAMERAS EVER MADE: THE OLYMPUS TRIP35!
THURSDAY, 26TH JULY, 2012 You could have missed this; a few weeks back I added a few pictures of motorsports onto my page about the Nissin 360 TW flash gun . It's not a collector's toy like the rest of my old junk; it's an unbelievably powerful flash that you can buy for less than £20 today. If you have a small budget and know how to use a manual flash, it's as good as bargains get! SATURDAY, 7TH JULY, 2012 So you know I was saying about crappy old cameras? _Check it outkids:_
(Modelled by the Caidoz .) And yes, I am nuts enough to try and use this for actual photography.Stay tuned!
(Thanks to Sam Lee for sending me this!) FRIDAY, 6TH JULY, 2012 I'm late to the party here, but if you want to see a head-to-head comparison of 2001's Canon EOS D30 (less than £100 used) versus an EOS 1D Mark IV (£3,500), have a look at this post by David Jackson.
At sensible enlargements and low ISOs _there is no clear winner!_ Of course newer is better, but Jackson shows it's not _that_ much better in the hands of a skilled photographer like him (rather than a guy with a website like me), so if you have less than £100 to spend on a camera then don't let anyone deter you from picking one up.Haters gonna hate.
On the subject of old crappy cameras: STAY TUNED, things are about toget _really_ fun.
TUESDAY, 3RD JULY, 2012 Rest in peace, Sherman.1998-2012
SATURDAY, 23RD JUNE, 2012 New in the gallery: thisand this
.
These are actually old shots, reprocessed, with which I was testing Darktable . It works on Linux and it's so good that it might have finally converted me to shooting raw for everything important. Note that the latter shot was taken with a Canon EOS _D30_ (not even a 30D) and the former was with my dead D2H ; it really does work wonderfully, even with files from very old and crappy cameras. Review coming once I do some serious stuff with it, but it definitely has myseal of approval.
THURSDAY, 24TH MAY, 2012 My Praktica screw problem is now resolved; Gary White sent me several Praktica bodies, among other things, one of which will be a screw donor. Thanks, Gary! MONDAY, 21ST MAY, 2012 Lytro quietly downgraded their specifications for their gimmick camera : while $399 used to get you 16gb of storage and $499 would get you 32gb, it's now 8gb and 16gb. You now pay $100 for 8gb of solid state storage, rather than 16! SATURDAY, 12TH MAY, 2012 Rest in peace: the Nikon D2H , died on shutteractuation #400,195.
WEDNESDAY, 18TH APRIL, 2012 Long overdue for an update: my page on my ancient Nikon D2H has been expanded greatly . Enjoy! MONDAY, 16TH APRIL, 2012: A PLEA SCREW PROBLEM SOLVED. Gary White was kind enough to send me an assortment of Praktica bodies, one of which is not functional and contains a replacement screw for my Praktica MTL3 . A huge thanks to Gary. My original plea forhelp was below.

We've learned a lot of lessons the hard way so you don't have to. :) FRIDAY, 23RD MARCH, 2012 Hello folks, it's been a while again. Don't worry, it's not about to turn into a website that apologises for not updating enough. Those of you that don't know me all that well (and honestly, I'm surprised at how many hits my silly website gets, so I'm sure that the vast majority of you don't!) might not know that I actually get up to a bunch of things in other places. Here's some things I've been up to: * I've been a contributor on the Wikimedia Commons for about seven years now. It's a repository of freely-reusable media files, which is a fancy way of saying you can do absolutely anything with the stuff I upload over there. I generally use this for my "subject"-ish stuff, which is pretty average and boring to my eye, but might be useful to someone somewhere. You can see the latest files I've added here. I
probably post more photographs there than I do on my own site. The unfortunate part of being there so long, by the way, is that you get to see my learning process the _ugly way_ over the last few years. I have a gallery here if you want to see nearly everything all at once. * I spent a day seeing the Norfolk Drift Team on the 10th of March. If you're in the King's Lynn area, I can't recommend it highly enough; entry is _free_ and there's lots of great cars and friendly folks. There's nothing like actually doing something to give you a newfound admiration for the people who do it well. In this case, for me, it was motorsport photography. Yup, it's much harder than it looks! I took about 1300 photographs and 7 of them were just about good enough that I could rescue them with some post-processing. I'll have to track down Ammo next time I'm there and getsome pointers.
In any case, some of the average photographs I took are over at the Wikimedia Commons, in this category(as I write
this, all but two are ones I took, and all the ones with cars in them), which means you are free to use them for any purpose. I've also learned a lot about my ancient D2H in the process, and of course that's going to end up with a massive expansion of that article. I'll be seeing the Drift Team next month, too, socome say hi!
* I write over at wikiHow . Did you knowthat? Here is
one I wrote a couple of days ago. Here is another recent-ish one.
By the way, I hang around in #wikihow on Freenode, for those of you that use IRC. Feel free to stop by for a natter; I'm lc2 (that's lower-case LC2, if it's not clear in your font). WEDNESDAY, 7TH MARCH, 2012 New in the gallery: Japanese Perfection and Road, Tottenhill Row . On the latter count: film is always perfect, even when it expired 7 years ago! I've been away in the wilderness for a bit (which is to say, working up in Lincolnshire), but while I was there, I received a lovely fan mail _which apologised for emailing me with questions_. This has happened before, too. Hey guys, I love receiving fan mail, that's why I have my email address at the bottom of every page on my site, so _don't apologise_. Unlike most photography websites, mine has no ads and so this actually costs me money to run. I'd keep doing this if I didn't get nice mail from my readers nearly every day, but it suredoes motivate me.
FRIDAY 24TH FEBRUARY, 2012 In the gallery: Maria . Another one on the instructional/self-critical side. WEDNESDAY 22ND FEBRUARY, 2012 Alan of the East Anglian Railway Archivekindly gave me
permission to use a very rare photograph of a DMU at South Lynn on my page on remnants of railways in South Lynn. Here it is
, thanks Alan!
Wait, did you think this site was still about my photography and cameras and not trains? Don't worry, I finally finished off the roll of expired-in-2005 Agfa Optima in my Kiev 88 . I'll get it back in a few days! WEDNESDAY 15TH FEBRUARY, 2012 The Nissin 360 TW , a cheap semi-automatic flash from the 1980s. FRIDAY 3RD FEBRUARY, 2012 You are not a photographer, either, you just run "youarenotaphotographer.com".
WEDNESDAY 1ST FEBRUARY, 2012 A table of 35mm-equivalent focal lengthsfor the Kiev 88
.
Nobody is as awesome as this guy I found today who takes photographs using _actual wet plates_. TUESDAY 31ST JANUARY, 2012 New in the gallery: Toyota Celica GT-Fourand Symmetry .
FRIDAY 27TH JANUARY, 2012 Here's an article punching Lytro in the face. Actual photography is coming; I'm slowly burning through a roll of expired ASA 200 Agfa Optima film in my Kiev 88. Woohoo!
THURSDAY 22ND DECEMBER, 2011 I have an article on railway bridges in South Lynn . No great photography there, just a little bit of history. MONDAY 5TH DECEMBER, 2011 There's a new mega-review of the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S II , the finest Android phone of 2011 that also has a camera that is _much_ better than I expected from a cameraphone!
SATURDAY 5TH NOVEMBER, 2011 In the gallery: Tiny teddy sits under a tree and Tiny teddy on the rocks . Lewis Collard, teddy bear photographer. There's also this one, which is more
on the instructional/informational side. :) Happy religious-terrorists-trying-to-blow-up-a-democratic-assemblyday!
TUESDAY 25TH OCTOBER, 2011 A new article: the Nikon Series E 70-210mm f/4 . Also, Cow, abstractin the gallery.
MONDAY 24TH OCTOBER, 2011 New in the gallery: Bridge , one I've been hesitating to show anyone else. THURSDAY 20TH OCTOBER, 2011 New in the gallery: Tiny teddy watches the sun rise.
Good news: everything in the gallery is now available in much higher resolution (50% bigger in some cases). Better news: I've done that while keeping the file sizes reasonable, so it should still load quickly. Hooray! MONDAY 3RD OCTOBER, 2011 _Three_ new articles in a new miscellaneous section: the Arctic Freezer Pro 7 Rev 2 , HP LaserJet 4000 on Ubuntu (short version: use the hpijs driver), and increasing contrast with GIMP. ------------------------- Comments or questions?
