Move to France, scandinavia,....?

I was thinking of a wheather sealed combo for not having to do all this, just rinse after use like i do with my sialing dinghy, neoprene and other salt sprayed stuff.  Lazy thouhgts... I should ...

I am looking for a backpack to replace my mammut guide 30L for years now.   I was in chamonix this summer looking in the shops, but came out dissapointed.  Backpacks are superlight and and built ...

Good to come across this thread. 12-40 becomes useless for me if it can’t be used on a windy beach. Steven

The best prime you can afford in your favourite focal length. I limit myself  by just bringing the voigtlander 17.5.    The olly 17 f1.2 or the PL15 are probably  good alternatives with af. if you ...

17 f1.8 on the camera,  45 f1.8 in the pocket. 95% of the time the 17 mm range will do. steven

I bought a used 17.5. Can’t go wrong with that one if you like the 35 mm FOV. i use this lens for almost all my photography.  You can check my forum activity for some posts with images.   You can ...

Hi, Some pics of the Putrock festival 2018 for c&c I was lucky and had press acces :-). Steven Putrock Beringen 2018. “Mijnstage” ‘T hof van commerce @ putrock2018 Stage in an abandoned industrial ...

Off topic , but for the iphone fans: Iphones and other smartphones are not built for everyday use at school in belgian wheather.  Only motorolla has half decent wheather protection. Aside from the ...

Lars, Try to contact or follow the autors of this book: Die Geologie der Alpen aus der Luft (Deutsch) I have also seen a “making of” aricle, but can’t find it. Ruedi Homberger is an experienced ...

Smartphone is  like shooting  a wide angle prime : the default wide angle view helps seeing the image.   In wide angle street and family photography they are hard to beat in good light. i buy my ...

I forgot to mention:   Starbursts, not only in night shots. Even bright daylight on reflections on water. With a bright light source in the frame, try to turn the diafragm until the starbursts are ...

Major mistake! This voigt will be addictive and make a change of systems nearly impossible. When you like the voigtlander rendering, you will be looking at leica and medium format soon.  But it ...

Excellent work!   Incredible how you always blow us away with your far above average travel & documentary photography. The ferris wheel and the salt harvest are my favourites Is it acoincidence ...

There is no wrong side of 70.  Keep on going strong, just like the 505! 29er is managable.  49er and the foiling moths are difficult beasts, especially in our gusty conditions... steven

Hi John, you covered the event very well. I also have to thank you for showing that the pana 100-400 is the best choice in mft for this kind of photography if you can,’t get close. I had a look at ...

Especially the bright fresh powder snow under blue sky needs some compensation while metering, but i have to remember when coming out of the shadow.

These are the mountains in the Fanes, Senes, Braies natural parc between Marebbe and Cortina.   Lago di Braies is just at the other side of the mountains.   We stayed at Pederu at the end of the ...

The problem is that my em5 doesnt like the cold any more.   Depending on how cold it is, my shutter fails above 1/2000...   the cp filter and stopping down helps to keep shutter speed down a bit.

Three pics from my ski mountaineering week in the dolomites. I had very few keepers.   Fresh snow on monday and bright blue sky the rest of the week makes lightning a challenge. Guiding for my 16 ...
