It was an unexpected buy just after CMCO to RMCO last year. I bought it after seeing a review by Robin Wong on Youtube. The reason I bought it was the fact that I was very impressed with the image stabilization on E-M1 Mk2 which can get a shot at almost near to 4s (In …

Ricoh GR – After 2+ months review
These few days, the government had lifted up the CMCO. Although a lot of people do not agree with this decision to control the Covid 19 case, I have a different view. I think it is necessary because the economy is in a very dire state. I know people who are close to me had …
Ricoh GR – Ninja camera (Own feel review – 1)
I managed to get myself a Ricoh GR at a relatively good price. I saw a lot of excellent reviews from many pro street photographers. They all gave a very high recommendation on this camera. I was skeptical at first. A fixed lens of 28mm f2.8? This is journalist style photography. Not my kind at …

Street photography
I have an impression, when street photography is mentioned, we often see images that focus on strong shadow and light. Often, there is a human subject and there is a wall with strong texture or a mural. We also often relate to the camera like Leica, Ricoh GR, etc. I also notice they are mostly …

One of the challenging part of getting the sky right are not getting highlight blown, loss of details and getting the mood right. Let's start with getting the sky without blown highlight. It has to start with metering the sky correctly. Using spot metering or exposure compensation to get the sky right is in my …
Macro photography (2)
Continuing from the previous blog...... I found that using a flash and a top reflector doesn't seems to be the best solution as I get hard shadow on subjects when you got a lower lit condition. I have tried bending the flash head with reflector to the side way to get a more appealing side …
Macro photography (1)
Macro photography referred to close up photography with life size 1:1 (I feel 1:2 already get quite a decent near macro on big flower or insects) to almost 5:1 capability. There are many ways of achieving close up shots. They are using a dedicated macro lens , inversing a normal lens, using an extension tubes …
Kijal with Nikon D800 & Olympus Em1 (2)
Since I am carrying Olympus E-M1, I have equipped it with a variable ND adapter with four third Olympus 12 - 60mm f2.8 - f4 (Adapted to M43 converter). Although my EM1 can use 43 lenses, connected to the ND filter adapter which does not have electronic linkage actually disable the AF and focusing has …
