Brilliant, Danny! I never had cormorants down as being so musical! Maggie

I found some problems with auto-ISO on my GX80. I must have accidentally set it because I normally choose either Base ISO or 200 unless the situation requires anything different. In Manual mode it ...

Try John Lewis. Maggie

I too like the crop better, and even more the tightest square crop shown. In this case I don't think the context adds anything to what the photo is about, and the full image doesn't immediately ...

Does anyone know if the Leica V Lux 3 has the Leica sensor, or is it the Panasonic copy? Thanks Maggie

I love pictures like this, especially when they are well done. But what a weird combination of styles! That flat roof really throws me. Maggie

Personally I'd change to the superzoom and leave it on until circumstances say it's not good enough. Maggie

Mine too. I've sold the 45mm f1.8 and the 12-32mm because I had the options covered with other lenses. And now I start to wonder ... Maggie

Don't you use peaking? Maggie

My experience is limited, but here goes: first an image of a tree shot almost against the light from a bright sky. I didn't see flare despite the overexposure. Second a test hand-held shot from my ...

Western people are used to reading left to right. Eastern people (especially Arabic and  Japanese) are used to reading right to left. So some of the individual response will be influenced by this ...

I agree. The fact that you lose the RAW file by shooting in HDR mode was the final straw for me: now I shoot bracketed images. I don't like using a tripod for most shots anyway, so the HDR mode ...

Nice. What lens? The 7.5mm fisheye or something else? Maggie

Dartmoor at 2am? I wouldn't do that without company. I'm hoping to get some Milky Way shots this summer from Butser Hill near Winchester, but need to check it out in daylight first. Despite your ...

A very useful tip, Warren: thank you. Maggie

Buy the simplest and cheapest kit first: 14-42 is a good range and you will want to find out from your own experience what focal lengths you prefer before you buy another lens. Beautiful ...

Oh, it would have been a disaster to lose those lovely gannet shots! Thank you for posting them - the gannet is right up there (with the European Bee Eater) as one of my favourite birds. Maggie

I voted 14mm. I liked being able to see more on the left-hand side which was not visible with the 7.5mm, but it's really a matter of personal taste. I use the 7.5mm for wide landscapes and usually ...

To be clear, the 20mm f1.7 focuses beautifully. But in low light the AF takes time and can hunt before settling down. The key is to have it focussed at approximately the right place rather than ...

I bought the Samyang 7.5mm lens from a Netherlands  company for delivery to my home in the UK. The process is fully transparent: you've paid the VAT as part of your purchase price and no-one in ...
