Miracles never cease
Brace yourselves. If you’re not already sitting down then perhaps you should pull up a seat because what I am about to say might just floor you. You could be looking at the last photos from my old...

A fresh start
Manly Harbour, Queensland, Australia It has been many years since I’ve had a new camera; six or seven years in fact. Before that, I used a 35mm SLR. Back in the days of film I don’t remember thinking...

Old habits
I’ve been fortunate to have had the odd hour or half-hour here and there over the last week to use the A57 so as to become better acquainted with it. Rather than fall back on my usual and familiar...

The longest thing
Happiness under a cloud hanging overhead. Because, you know, life is short… …even though it’s the longest thing you will ever do. Somebody told me they didn’t like this photo. “It breaks too many...

A question of style
There is a style of photography which is not quite street and not quite fashion which was made popular by a man called Scott Schumann (aka The Satorialist). Let me say up front that I am a fan and let...

Alternate realities
I have a strong liking for abstract art. It is something I occasionally try my hand at with my photography and the photos above are recent examples taken with the A57. I have done this sort of thing...

In a far away world
These were made in the same car park as the images in the previous post. Aimed at different parts of the car park and with different white balance, the results became dramatically different with an...

High contrast, low effort
Both of these photos were made with the High Contrast Black & White filter built into the A57. The first image was taken from inside a train on my way to work (hence the reflection) and the second...

I’ve been posting way too much colour lately. Time to get back to… well, this kind of stuff. When I made this shot, the day wasn’t so dark but as I dodged and burned the image, well, let’s just say...
