youtu.be St George Photographic society has a yearly portfolio assignment for its members who are wanting to push their creative photographic skills.A group is developed and meets once a month to discuss individuals progress.I believe it is important to choose a subject which the photographer can relate to personally as it opens up inner feelings,emotions and serves to drive the finished portfolio. My subject which I named “Keeping the Faith” came to me due to a year long struggle of personal issues which made me question the role of religion and its meaning to me.The images I created came from a strong catholic upbringing with learnt and perceived ideas about Jesus and God and depict the concept of Sin and Forgiveness .The idea of a members portfolio group came from our club’s creative mentor Professor Des Crawley and has been growing with more and more members participating yearly.

CES 2012: Panasonic is showing mockups of two large-aperture zoom lenses for Micro Four Thirds. The Panasonic stand plays host to mockups of a 12-35mm F2.8 and a 35-100mm F2.8 lens, prominently badged ‘Concept’ lenses. Next to the models is a lens roadmap confirming the company’s intentions to build a 12-35mm (24-70mm equiv) and 35-100 (70-200mm equiv) ‘X’ grade zooms, but with a note that the maximum apertures are ‘to be determined.’ The diagram appears to suggest both lenses will arrive later in 2012.

Olympus unveils 12mm F2.0 and 45mm F1.8 fast primes for Micro Four Thirds

03 Jul

Alongside its three PEN bodies, Olympus has announced the M. Zuiko Digital ED 12mm F2.0 and M. Zuiko Digital ED 45mm F1.8 prime lenses for Micro Four Thirds. The 12mm F2.0 is a metal-bodied 24mm equivalent featuring a unique snap-focus manual focus mode. A snap-back focus ring reveals a traditional depth-of-field scale for ‘zone’ focusing and offers improved focus ‘feel.’ Later in the year it will be accompanied by the 45mm F1.8 portrait lens, making Olympus one of the only manufacturers to offer a fast prime at a roughly 100mm equivalent focal length, ideally suited to portraiture. There is also a relatively compact, bouncable and remotely commandable flash, the FL-300R, helping the PEN range look more like a complete system. More details of the 12mm F2.0 are included in our E-P3 preview, along with a gallery of sample images.

Gary Fong launches Puffer diffuser for Micro Four Thirds

11 May

Flash accessory specialist Gary Fong has launched a version of its ‘Puffer’ flash diffuser for Micro Four Thirds cameras. The Micro Four Thirds Puffer clips into the hotshoe of the Panasonic GF and PEN E-PL series cameras and hangs a diffuser in front of the pop-up flash. The intent is to mitigate the harsh, direct lighting that can spoil portrait images with on-board flash, though it is likely to further limit the already low-powered internal flash output.
