Contents
Amateur Photographer For everyone who loves photography
IT ISNT every day that we see the launch of an
entirely new camera system, and even less frequent
that a new Leica makes an appearance, so the new
Leica T is something of a landmark. The company is
looking to target a wider, younger audience with its
new compact system camera, and anticipates that
it will be more popular than its legendary M series
of rangenders. Having had the opportunity to try
it myself I dont doubt this for a moment, and not
just because the T will be less than half the price of
its big brother. It is, quite simply, a thing of beauty,
a masterpiece of minimalist design. Its the kind of
camera Apple would make.
As someone who once owned a Leica M4

I carry a certain affection for this most prestigious


brand and have followed with concern its struggle to
transform itself from a company
based on peerless engineering
and optical expertise to one
that has also mastered the
computing know-how required
in the digital age. Although
we have yet to properly review
it, the initial signs are that
the T will continue Leicas
revival as a manufacturer of
Nigel Atherton
some of the most exquisite
cameras in the world.

Race to launch new positive-negative lm, page 6

Leica T is firms first consumer CSC New system APS-C sensor

LEICA: THE T WILL


BE AS BIG AS M
LEICA ranks its new T
compact system camera (CSC)
alongside the legendary M.
But the rm tells AP that, in
business terms, its a risky move
as it bids to win over an entirely
new audience.
Designed in a tie-up with
car maker Audi, the rst in the
Leica T series features a new
bayonet mount (Type 701).
The 16.3-million-pixel model
carries an APS-C-sized imaging
sensor, a built-in ash and a
3.7in (1.3-million-dot) xed
touchscreen.
The camera is milled from
a solid piece of high-grade
aluminium, with each unit handpolished for 45 minutes at a
factory in Portugal.
Due out on 26 May, it will
cost 1,350 body only. Two
lenses will be available at
launch: a Vario-Elmar-T 1856mm f/3.5-5.6 Asph (priced
1,250) and a Summicron-T
23mm (equivalent to 35mm)
f/2 Asph, costing 1,350.
The Leica T has no built-in
EVF. Instead, a 2.4-milliondot tilt-and-swivel EVF will
be available as an optional

accessory, attaching to the


camera via its hotshoe. The
EVF (Visoex Type 020)
costs 400.
Also available will be an
optional adapter for attaching
M lenses, priced 300, and an
external ash (SF 26), which is
expected a month after launch.
Features of the Leica T
also include an ISO range of
100-12,500, full HD video
and built-in Wi-Fi a rst for a
Leica system camera.
Leica says the camera body
is engineered in Germany while

the lenses are made in Japan


though not by its long-standing
compact camera partner,
Panasonic. When pressed,
ofcials refused to name its
lens-making associate.
The company is keen to win
over those who have so far
not had Leica on their radar
professionals, designers and
those who use Apples iPads
and iPhones.
Asked to describe the Ts
target audience, Leica Camera
Limited managing director
David Bell told AP: I think they

will be people who maybe arent


into serious photography at the
moment. They havent come
from DSLR ownership but are
interested in image making. I
think this camera will appeal to
them because of the designstyle, the method of use and
the [touch]screen on the back.
Leica admits that its M
system can be a struggle for
rangender newcomers.
Maike Harberts, product
manager for Leica T system
and X cameras, sees a big
opportunity amid the picturetaking explosion heralded by
smartphones.
She concedes that the M and
S systems attract a small group
of people.
Two more lenses are due to
be showcased at the photokina
trade show in Germany in
September, for launch later this
year. They are a Super-VarioElmar-T 11-23mm f/3.5-4.5
Asph and Vario-Elmar-T 55135mm f/3.5-4.5 Asph.
The camera will be out in
black or silver and Adobe
Photoshop Lightroom software
will be bundled with the kit
The Leica T took 2-212 years
to develop.
Leica rst hinted at plans
to launch a consumer CSC in
2011. A year later, Leica bosses
steered journalists away from
the idea, stressing that the M
family would be high on its
agenda at photokina 2012.
For our rst impressions of
the camera, see pages 10-11

Nikon UK product manager


Thuan Bui said the lens is a
compact, affordable option
for enthusiast photographers
looking for the same incredible
focal range as the current DXformat 18-300mm, thats both
lightweight and portable.
The 550g lens which

features a weather-sealed
mount is designed to deliver
the 35mm viewing-angle
equivalent of a 27-450mm
zoom.
The newcomer is built from
16 elements in 12 groups and
includes aspherical elements to
help reduce aberrations.

Time running out to get project off ground

RACE TO LAUNCH NEW B&W


POSITIVE-NEGATIVE FILM

An apparent trend for depicting low tones


or twilight and gloomy phases of nature
was creating quite a stir this week in 1896.
However, the AP Club pointed out that this
was not merely a craze that photographers
were following just because it was the
latest fashion. Such images frequently
appearing at exhibitions stemmed from
our most accomplished photographers,
workers who have shown an earnestness
and devotion to their work which must
exculpate them from being supposed to be
merely pandering to a fashionable taste,
still less can it be supposed that they are
imitating the successes of others, unless
the submission to a powerful inuence
can be called imitation.

A CROWDFUNDING campaign to
launch a new 4x5in peel-apart black &
white positive-negative lm, following the
disappearance of Polaroids Type 55 lm
more than ve years ago, has just days to
reach its target.
At the time of writing, campaigners
at New55 Film had raised more than
$180,000 of the $400,000 required by
6 May to get their project off the ground.
More than 1,100 people have so far
backed the US-based venture.
The lm, which produces a black & white
negative and a positive print, is designed to
be used on a 4x5in camera with a Polaroid
545 Land Film Holder.
Bob Crowley, who founded the project,
says New55 is not a recreation of Polaroid
Type 55.
He adds: It is a new single-shot system

that incorporates a negative material, a


processing pod, a special positive receiver
sheet and other components needed for a
eld-processable instant photograph to
be produced without a darkroom.
Campaigners say they plan to release
the lm eight months after raising the
necessary funds.
They add that it may be possible to launch
an 8x10in version at a future date, although
there are currently no plans for this.
Photographs taken using rst samples of
the lm have been posted on Flickr.
A box of ve lm sheets is expected to
cost $6, and there are plans to distribute it
in the UK and other parts of Europe.
Polaroid Type 55 was admired for its
aesthetic and technical qualities.

Hands-on Leica T

Leicas decision to
implement an APS-C
sensor has allegedly
been made to keep it
as small as possible

AP hands-on

Leica T

One major question mark hangs over the all-new Leica T system: is the
sensational design backed up by an equally impressive specication and
performance? Michael Topham gets hands on with this desirable model
IN THE same year that Leica celebrates
its 100th birthday, the manufacturer has
announced an entirely new camera system.
Called Leica T, its like no other compact
system camera weve seen before, and is
designed to complement the Leica brand
and sit beside the iconic M system. At the
time of launch, the new T system consists
of a beautifully designed Leica T body and
a pair of lenses using a new Leica T mount.
Leica has already unveiled plans to expand
the system later in the year, but will it allow
the manufacturer to achieve its long-term
goal of attracting a new type of customer
to the premium brand?

KEY FEATURES
Designed in collaboration with automotive
manufacturer Audi, the Leica T stands
out from other current compact system
cameras in the market for the way it is
crafted from a single block of aluminium,
which gives it an unmistakable look
and nish. Well turn our attention to
the cameras sublime looks and build
quality shortly, but rst lets focus on its
key features. Behind the cameras new
T mount lies an APS-C-format CMOS
sensor that comes with a 16.5-million-

pixel resolution, effective to 16.3 million


pixels. Based on the 3:2 aspect ratio, the
APS-C chip measures 23.6x15.7mm and
produces a maximum image resolution of
4944x3278 pixels, with the option, just
as youd expect, of shooting in raw and
JPEG le formats. Although the use of
an APS-C-sized sensor is likely to cause
some controversy with photographers who
would have preferred a full-frame chip,
Leicas decision to implement an APS-C
sensor has allegedly been made to keep
it as small as possible, while ensuring
brilliant images with outstanding contrast,
ne detail resolution and natural colour
rendition. The partnership of a newly
developed high-performance processor
alongside the sensor delivers an ISO range
of 100-12,500, with the option to shoot
continuously at 5fps for up to 12 shots.
Other important features to note include
a shutter-speed range that runs from
30-1/4000sec, 1080p full HD video
recorded at a frame rate of 30fps, and
an autofocus system based on contrastdetection AF an interesting decision,
given that many CSCs are now using hybrid
systems that use both contrast detection
and phase detection.
Design aside, one of the headline features
is the cameras 3.7in TFT LCD touchscreen
display. It boasts a 1.3-million-pixel
resolution and its generous size contributes
to fewer buttons dotted around the body.
With just three buttons on the body in total,
this means numerous functions in capture
and playback modes are controlled by
touch. A beautifully designed menu system
that features large, bold icons, clear text
and excellent customisation to ensure fast
access to commonly used settings helps
its ease of use.
Twin control dials at the corner of the
body offer independent control of aperture
and shutter speed in manual mode, and,
as per the body, they are immaculately
machined from aluminium. The pop-up
ash rises with an extra click of the on/off
switch, the battery is ingeniously designed
so it doesnt accidently fall out, and the
meticulous effort thats been made to
ensure the camera is as sleek and as stylish
as possible comes right down to the smaller
details such as the strap, which clips straight
into the shell of the body. By omitting ugly
lugs, Leica has successfully preserved a
clean and minimal design.

the Leica T system. The EVF features


integrated GPS and tilts up by 90 to ease
composition from low angles, while a new
Leica M adapter will allow users of Leica
M-series lenses to attach them to the Leica
T. The camera system marks the rstever Leica to feature a Wi-Fi module to
enable hassle-free wireless transfer of still
images and video directly to a smartphone
or tablet. Furthermore, the wireless
connectivity is supported by a free Leica T
app for iOS devices that will allow users to
adjust exposure settings remotely and re
the shutter on the y. Supporting SD media
and USB charging at the side, the camera
also features 16GB of internal memory
and will initially be supported by two lenses
in the Leica T system the 18-56mm
f/3.5-5.6 kit lens (equivalent to 27-84mm)
and the xed 23mm f/2 prime (equivalent
to 35mm). A 17-35mm wideangle lens
and 80-200mm telephoto zoom are also
expected to be announced at the Photokina
trade show in September this year.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The sublime design and minimalist styling
of the Leica T make it a thing of beauty to
look at, but its not until you pick it up and
get hands on that you appreciate the effort
Leica has put into its latest innovation. Out
of the box, it is the Leica Ts robust build
quality that strikes you rst, followed by
an immediate sense of attention to detail.
Although it is relatively light (384g with
battery included), it manages to strike
a perfect balance between weight and
solidity. The robust, high-grade body, which
takes 55mins to be machined from a solid
block of aluminium, followed by a further
45mins of precise polishing by hand, feels
exquisite and quintessentially Leica. The
nish is in an entirely different league to
what weve come to expect from most
compact system camera manufacturers
and it does make you rather paranoid of
damaging its awless appearance with a
scratch or inadvertent knock.
The Leica T-snap accessory for the
front of the camera and T-ap for the
rear provide a decent level of protection
from damage, while giving the camera
a personalised look thats sure to make
it stand out from the crowd. The leather
holster and leather protector are more
in keeping with the cameras stylish
aesthetic and are lined in felt on the inside
to provide a cushion against the body,
with subtle detailing and a level of stitching
that complements the brand.

The only
minor
criticism
regarding the
build quality is
the thin plastic
door at the side,
which provides
access to the SD
card slot and USB
charging port.

IN USE
With the Leica 23mm
f/2 Summicron-T
Asph lens attached,
the camera is best supported by two
hands the right hand wrapped around
the grip and the left hand supporting the
lens beneath. With many of the cameras
modes and controls appearing on the far
left of the touchscreen, it doesnt lend
itself to being used single-handedly. The
way the lens mount sits off-centre to the
body could also result in the camera feeling
unbalanced with larger and heavier zooms,
but this didnt cause any concerns with the
prime or kit lens we used.
The twin control-dial design is similar
to that featured on Sonys NEX-7, but the
good news is that the Leica Ts dials are
easier to access, provide a beautiful tactile
feel and notch into place more positively
when used. Set to aperture-priority or
shutter-priority mode, the left dial can
be personalised to adjust ISO, exposure
compensation, white balance, focus mode,
self-timer or ash mode, and from the
main menu all the settings and modes can
be rearranged to your personal preference
by holding and dragging much like apps

The Leica T is
engineered from
a solid block
of aluminium.
To protect the
immaculate nish,
T-snap covers
(60) are available
in orange-red,
melon, yellow,
black and white

The Leica Ts
top-plate has a
minimalist design,
with just three
buttons in total
on the body

can be repositioned on a smartphone.


Operating the camera for the rst time,
you immediately get the sense that a lot
of thought has been put into the interface.
For instance, instead of trawling through
endless sub menus, large icons can simply
be touched to cycle through different
settings. It makes for the fastest and most
intuitive operational experience of any
touchscreen camera weve used. That said,
the touchscreen on our pre-production
model wasnt entirely fault-free. It was
hesitant and unresponsive at times and we
often found ourselves having to doubleswipe to view images in playback mode.
Pinch and zoom gestures also lacked the
precise control weve come to expect
from smartphone touchscreens, but were
hopeful that a nal rmware update should
address the issue.
Another observation concerns the
autofocus speed, which, although not
sluggish, didnt have the same response and
lightning lock-on speed as Panasonics Light
Speed AF system and Fujilms Intelligent
Hybrid AF system. Focusing between near
and far subjects encountered a split-second
delay before focus was acquired and this
was most noticeable while attempting
to focus using the cameras Touch AF
functionality. Despite the AF point failing
to reach the far corners of the frame, the
contrast and clarity of the touchscreen are
superb faithfully rendering lifelike colour
while complementing the minimalist design
perfectly. While our hands-on experience
revealed a few early niggles, the Leica T is
a thoroughly pleasing camera to use.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY


The Leica T will cost 1,350 (body only)
or 2,600 with the 18-56mm kit lens or
2,700 with the 23mm f/2 prime lens. It
will be available from 26 May. AP

MARIO TESTINO

www.amateurphotographer.co.uk I 3 May 2014

go right or wrong when photographing a


model, and there are endless books that
cover lighting, lens choice and locations.
Thats all very well, but even with these
skills perfected it is possible to discover
the magic element missing that which
differentiates a dull picture from one that is a pleasure to look at.
Few books delve into the subject of creating human connection in a
photograph which is surely what we should be striving for.
Testinos book, Kate Moss, is no how-to for those looking for
words to inspire them, but when we read between the pictures and
put together the story they tell us, we can see very clearly how the
magic comes about. This is, on the surface, an indulgent collection
of Testinos favourite images of a model many will never be sick of
looking at. Beneath, though, is revealed how the friendship they
share inuences the images on the page, and allows Testino to
reach far beyond what we are usually allowed to see. Mixing
high-fashion imagery with low- snaps, from studio to unguarded
holiday moments, the picture selection takes us on a journey
through the lives of the subject and the photographer and
shows how a personal connection makes an image come alive.
This presents a compelling portrait of Kate, but more so of the
relationship between the two.
Not a new book in the strictest sense, as the
original was released in 2010, but now widely
available in paperback at 28 instead of the signed,
limited-edition price of 1,250, to most of us it
might as well be just released. Damien Demolder

W1D 5DQ. Website: www.hooliganartdealer.com. Open
Mon-Sat 8.30am-10pm, Sun 9.30am-8pm. Admission free

TV ACTOR Wayne Foskett, known for series such as Merlin and

Silent Witness, exhibits a series of pinhole photographs in a gallery


space above a patisserie in Londons Soho. The images are based
around Greenwich and draw much from the relationship between
the water of the river and the structures that surround and intersect
with it. The sharp angles of buildings, such as a dark imposing
coal jetty, are juxtaposed nicely with the ghostly incandescence of
the softly sunlit water a contrast created by
the long exposures of pinhole photography. A
ghostliness pervades many of the images, but the
transformation is into something peaceful rather
than frightening. Theres a quiet serenity to it.

THE FUJIFILM X-E2: BEYOND


THE MANUAL by Rico Prstinger,
10.70 (Kindle Edition) The sleek
X-E2 is one of the many success
stories in Fujilms popular X series of
cameras. Rico Prstingers guide to the
camera takes a cutting to the chase
approach to helping you mess about
with the camera. The book assumes
you know the basics of modes and
whatnot, and gets to the good stuff
with tips and tricks you may not know
about. ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY
by Thierry Legault, 30.99 Although
astrophotography is becoming ever
more accessible as equipment gets
more sophisticated, its still not quite
something you can pick up easily.
This means a guide like this is a
solid investment for aspiring star
photographers. It makes you realise
how much work goes into the images
you see from astrophotographers
and once you start learning to
do vaguely seedy-sounding things
like polar align your equatorial
mount you begin to realise that
youre entering a whole other world.
THE SONY A7 AND A7R: THE
UNOFFICIAL QUINTESSENTIAL
GUIDE by Brian Matsumoto and
Carol F Rouillard, 30.99 Sonys new
Alpha cameras were the talk of the
camera world last year, picking up
plenty of gongs as reviewers praised
their seriously beefy sensors and
low-light capability. This guide helps
photographers get the most out of the
Alpha 7 and 7R, with some helpful tips
on using multi-shot noise reduction to
get the most of high ISOs. Its a little
pricey, but if youve already bought an
Alpha 7R, an extra 31 probably wont
make much difference.

THE POWER OF PHOTOGRAPHY


This probably isnt your typical letter, but I wanted to share rather bravely, I
hasten to add my story.
Im new to AP magazine and Im new to photography as well its a hobby I
stumbled upon by accident. You see, for a long time I have suffered depression.
Doctors and friends said I needed to get out, but nding the motivation for that
in itself was a problem. Then I got a puppy, so I had to go out, as she loves going
for long walks in the countryside. I started taking the usual photos of the dog using
my camera phone, then with my compact camera, which I started to carry all
the time. My picture-taking spread to nature and landscapes, so I moved up to
a DSLR, albeit a second-hand one from eBay.
I now nd myself out all the time taking pictures and I love it. I was constantly
lling up my timeline on Facebook, so I created a page where I could show off my
images. My page is doing well, Ive had messages from many parts of the world
and Ive had nothing but positive feedback. Theres something to be said about
taking a beautiful picture, capturing an image that momentarily lifts your spirits,
but for me, part of the magic is getting home and downloading it to my computer,
where I can see it again and again.
Barbara Elliot, via email
Im touched by your story, Barbara. As someone who recently got a puppy
myself, I know how great they are for getting you out and about. Ive
discovered great new walks I never knew existed, and of course I always
take my camera although my dog gets quite impatient when I take too
long over a picture! Nigel Atherton, Group Editor

or a bad one when they buy, while price

When you take into account the
high prices charged by the camera
manufacturers for replacement batteries,
it is little wonder that camera users are
drawn to third-party providers, such as
Hhnel, Hama, Energizer, Blumax and so on.
These rms manage to produce affordable
batteries at prices far below those of the
camera makers. Surely we are not judging
their batteries as fake or counterfeit?
The problem could be solved overnight if
cameras were supplied with two batteries
from the outset, as this would relieve the
photographer of the problem of having to
nd a second battery as a backup, which
throws them into a maze of batteries from
all sources, with some of dubious quality
and others a genuine bargain. Lets see
which manufacturer is willing to take the
plunge and supply two batteries as a
deliberate enticement to buy its cameras.
In the meantime, lets apply some
common sense. The article says that there
have been no reported incidents of camera
batteries triggering res on UK aircraft, so
lets not get carried away with the idea that
all third-party lithium batteries are suspect,
and instead observe the wise instruction
from the airlines to carry batteries separately
from their cameras in hand luggage.
Gordon Fleming, Hertfordshire
You are quite right in saying that not
all third-party batteries are fake or
counterfeit, or of poor quality. I have
more than a handful of third-party
batteries in my camera bag and in all
my years have never had a problem.
However, there have been cases of
mobile phone and laptop batteries
catching re or exploding and, while it is
not just limited to third-party batteries,
it is always worth making sure that
you purchase such a battery from a
reputable manufacturer and retailer
Richard Sibley, deputy editor

WISHFUL THINKING
ASSAULT ON BATTERIES
Your news article about exploding batteries
(AP 5 April) provoked me into writing
because I feel there is a lot of careless
talk that gets into print on the subject of
camera batteries. Your correspondent uses

16

such phrases as fake and counterfeit to


describe the batteries. Most third-party
camera batteries are produced in China,
as are most genuine batteries these days.
However, the camera owner is not in a
position to discern what is a good battery

www.amateurphotographer.co.uk I 3 May 2014

A friend of mine was asked by his


ex-wife who had just landed a sizeable
lottery win what kind of camera hed buy
if money were no object. As a passionate
photographer, my pal had no hesitation
in telling her he would get a Nikon D4.
Knowing full well that his ex-missus had
never shown any interest in photography,
he mentioned the conversation to me.
We excitedly debated whether or not his
ex had been picking his brains over buying
him a D4. After all, they were still good
friends. We later we saw my mates ex and
her new fella at the Sunderland Air Show.
As my pal ddled around with his battered
old Nikon D70, he was mortied to see his
exs new boyfriend taking pictures with a
spanking new Nikon D4.
As we enjoyed a pint later, I asked him
how he felt. With a nonchalant look, he said,
No problem. Good luck to the guy. Then
he hissed, The jammy b******!

IN DECLINE
I recently went to two fairs within weeks of
each other to see my camera and audio
collections. One was a camera fair that had
about half the stalls and buyers that it had a
year ago, and the other was an Audiojumble
selling new and vintage Hi-Fi equipment,
as well as records and audio components.
At the Audiojumble there were 180 stalls,
around 20% more than the previous year,
and the hall and smaller rooms were heaving
by lunchtime. The most obvious difference
between this event and the photographic
one was the age range, with people aged
from 15-70 and women with their partners.
I packed up early as I had virtually run out
of things to sell.
It seems to me that audio covers a range
of interests from equipment to recordings,
whereas camera collecting is a dying
generation thing. I dont see many people
under 40 at camera fairs and women are a
rare sight. Unless something is done soon, I
think we will see a terminal decline in purely
camera fairs. Perhaps they should combine
with other types of collecting to get a wider
cross section of buyers. I stopped taking
expensive items to sell some time ago as
most people just want to play with them and
have no intention of buying, while others
treat it like an upmarket boot fair.
Do other sellers and buyers feel the same
way or is this an issue local to Kent? I would
love to hear what other readers think.
James Styles, Kent

DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
Craig Roberts article on photographing
in the city (AP 12 April) prompted me to
send in a picture (above) from a recent trip
to Birmingham to visit the new library. The
building has become something of a mecca
for photographers and offers plenty of
opportunities for great abstracts. The part
of the article that struck a chord, however,
was Craigs suggestion to forget the lift. We
did indeed take the stairs, and encountered
this cheeky chap sitting on an otherwise
deserted landing. It may not be an abstract,
but it does offer a different perspective on
the new library. It was a good job no one
else was around, as I imagine they would
have been surprised to nd me lying on the
oor in order to nd the best angle!

DONT YOU
FORGET
ABOUT CSC

ROGER MACDONALD

I read the review of the


Tamron SP 150-600mm
f/5-6.3 VC USD lens
in AP 12 April and was
impressed enough to
think that one would
go well with my Canon
EOS 6D. However,
Damien Demolder, your
reviewer, says, unless
you are happy to gain
the same reach for a
350 Panasonic Lumix
DMC-FZ200 bridge
camera, there are not
many choices available. I would take issue with this, as for some time I have
been using an Olympus Zuiko Digital 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens, which has the same reach
on the four thirds format as the new Tamron optic. Most recently, I have been taking very
similar garden-bird images to Damien, with, as far as one can tell from the printed examples,
similar results. And I do not have to go to f/16 to get sharp images in fact, at that aperture,
diffraction will have started to degrade the images.
Just to make my point, the above image was taken at full reach (600mm full-frame
equivalent) and f/7.1 to show the possibilities. OK, the image quality is not quite as good
as I would have got from my full-frame camera, but it is very respectable and comes at a
fraction of the cost and weight of the Tamron lens.
Roger Macdonald, via email
You are quite right, Mr Macdonald. I hadnt considered compact system cameras at
all when I made that comment much to my shame. I have used 600mm equivalent
focal lengths myself with micro four thirds cameras, and very much enjoyed the
results I was able to achieve. My old age, Im afraid, but thank you for reminding me.
Your picture proves the point very well indeed Damien Demolder

AP reader Melvyn Dover is worried


that the new civil code issued by
the Hungarian government will
start to spread
WHEN I read on the AP website and in AP 19 April that
the Hungarian government has issued a civil code that
reportedly requires photographers to obtain consent from
everyone in a picture who is identifiable, regardless of
whether the image is published, my heart sank. I fear that
such an action will spread. Its a restriction that is likely to
gain favour throughout the rest of the EU. The seed has been
planted and a precedent set.
Whether such a ban will work remains to be seen, although
Hungary has enough legal officials to enforce it. The news
has already had implications here. Britains Foreign Office
has found itself suddenly needing to issue guidelines for a
subject where, in my opinion, none should be needed.
It was a double blow. That same week, I downloaded the
latest copy of a local magazine for the village where I was
brought up circulation of about 2,000 homes, delivered
free. Inside is a letter from the editors, which reads: We
would like to remind contributors that we cannot use photos
of children unless we have consent from parents or guardians
for their publication. We would appreciate it if contributors
could add a note to say that permission has been given each
time a photo of children is submitted.
Since the same publication contains photos of the girls
football club, Girl Guides, a pre-school party and a dancing
school, obviously some parents have granted such permission.
But how sad such a message makes me. This isnt the world
I was supposed to grow up in. A month beforehand, the
same village magazine showed a picture of a class from my
old infant school, the relevance being that it was the year it
moved to a new building and the head teacher had marched
children from the old site to the new. I remember that teacher
and the others there, but I had moved to junior school that
very year. Did they have to ask all those parents? Or the
pupils themselves, now grown up with children of their own?
A friend sent me a picture from the junior school and
we spent some time identifying classmates and wondering
what happened to them. We argued over the identity of
one. That photo brought back many stories and memories
about incidents that occurred during our school days no
permission asked or needed when it was taken.
Strangely, the camera manufacturers are silent about all
this, even though its possible their sales will ultimately be
limited by such ways of thinking. If people feel more and more
restricted in their hobby, they wont bother buying cameras
for fear of breaking the rules.
Ironically, the authorities
regularly photograph people
in our streets in this country
without their knowledge, let
alone their permission.
To paraphrase Corporal
Jones in Dads Army:
Permission to photograph,
sir? Unfortunately this is
real life, and not a comedy.

Andrew Sanderson on the virtues of 5x7in


negatives and working on a tight budget
THIS picture was taken along a country
road about two miles from my home, on
a route I often take when Im driving to
Wakeeld or Leeds. It usually has a lot of
fast-moving trafc and is not an ideal place
to park your car for a photograph. As Id
driven past the pool so often, I had become
a little intrigued by it and decided that one
day Id have to chance it and get a shot. Its
an attractive location, being in an area on the
edge of farmland where quarrying took place
many years ago. The ground is uneven and
there are pools of water everywhere.
One day I was driving around looking
for the kind of scene that would suit the
combination of camera, lm and lens I had
with me a Kodak specialist 5x7in camera
Id loaded with Ilford HP5 lm. Id also tted
the camera with a 150mm lens that had
been taken from a 5x4in camera.
On this occasion I got lucky. The roads
near the farmland were quiet so I was able
to jump out of the car, set up my big tripod
and mount my 5x7in camera on top in
the area I thought would provide the best
viewpoint for a quick test shot. I couldnt
get quite as close to the pool as Id wanted
because a big ditch and a wall topped
with barbed wire prevented me. I knew
the composition would have to be slightly
compromised, but as this was only going
to be a test shot I wasnt too concerned. I
also noticed a change in the weather rain
was coming so I knew I had to be quick
about it. As soon as I had the shot, I packed
everything away and returned home.
When the negative was processed I
noticed there was vignetting in the corners
from a badly tted square lens hood. I
hadnt noticed this at the time in my haste

www.amateurphotographer.co.uk I 3 May 2014

to get the shot. That, of course, meant I


couldnt print the whole area of the negative
and would have to crop the image.
Cropping isnt a problem when shooting
large format. Thats because a large
negative really holds the detail. I understand
that many large-format users will throw
their arms in the air with horror at that
statement, but the negative quality is so
good at 5x7in that I can throw out almost
half the image and still have a great picture,
even going as far as to print at 5x4in. If I
were shooting 10x8in, I could discard 75%
of the image and still have the equivalent
of a 5x4in shot, although that would be
wasteful and expensive. There seems to
be an unwritten law of large format that
you must always use the full area of the
negative, because thats how the masters
used it. This is ne if the situation allows it,
but I believe in being a bit more exible. The
negative allows it, so why not do it?
I ended up with 5x4in of usable image
on a 5x7in negative. When I came to print,
I could see that the cropping had removed
the unwanted foreground and tightened up
the composition to produce an economical
shot. This image may not show what the

The repetition of
the cross-shaped
telegraph poles is
mimicked in the
position of the sun,
the reection and
the line of reeds

lens coverage is with this lens on a 5x7in


camera, but Im more than pleased.
One thing I like about this picture is
the separation in the tones, which is a
result of mist in the background. The bank
of rain coming in creates a necessary
distinction between the fog and the rest
of the background. I also enjoy the fact
that the sunlight isnt too intense. It has
been diffused and, as a result, it creates
a beautiful atmosphere in the image. Id
also say that its a very symmetrical shot.
There is the repetition of the cross-shaped
telegraph poles mimicked in the position of
the sun, the reection and the horizontal
line of reeds. Its subtle little details such as
these that can make an image work for me.
As I said, this was only supposed to be a
test shot so I took just one at this location.
That often happens with the way I work.
When I look back at a lot of my pictures, I
nd that they are single shots. Originally, this
was because I was always on a tight budget.
Working as a ne-art photographer, I pour
a lot of money into photography and dont
get much back from it. However, Ive never
been motivated by money its always
been about the photography. I always put
a lot of effort into working out the exposure
and if something goes wrong in the shot it
makes me learn quicker. If youre covering
yourself and banging out loads of shots, its
more expensive and you learn nothing.
You havent had that painful experience
of losing a shot. Its a way of tightening up
your technique while working on a tight
budget. AP

How to combine exposures using Merge to HDR Pro

OF ALL the landscape features that


characterise the Southwest United States,
the most distinctive are the slot canyons
of Utah and Arizona. This photograph was
taken at Antelope Canyon, near Page,
Arizona, which can only be accessed if
you join authorised photo tours. These
tours take place just before midday, which

streams directly down through narrow


gaps. To get a good photograph, you
need to shoot with a tripod and cable
release, and bracket your exposures to
be processed later using HDR software.
In this tutorial, I wanted to show how
to use the Merge to HDR Pro feature in
Photoshop to process a set of bracketed
exposures. I have to say that this is

not my favourite method, as I nd the


Photomatix program controls easier to
manage. Whenever I use Photoshop
for HDR processing, I tone the images
using Camera Raw (see the toning option
available in step 3). Even so, I nd the
controls in Merge to HDR Pro are much
improved upon earlier versions, and if
used correctly can produce good-looking
results that dont look too obviously like
HDR-processed images.

Software tips and techniques Retouchers guide

This shows the original image, which was shot at


an exposure setting where I tried to balance the
exposure required for the shadows with the
exposure needed to record all the highlight detail.

At the time I photographed this scene, I had the


camera mounted on a tripod and was able to
photograph a bracketed sequence of images.
Here, you can see the three frames I selected in
Lightroom. These were bracketed 2 stops either side
of the middle exposure.

In Lightroom, I selected Photo>Edit in>Merge to


HDR Pro in Photoshop. This opened the individual
photos and merged them to create a master
32-bit HDR le. In this dialog I had the option to save
as a 32-bit image, or tick a box to Complete Toning
in Adobe Camera Raw.

Having done that, I inspected the image close-up


and ticked the Edge Smoothness box to smooth out
the jagged edges that can sometimes be generated
when editing in Merge to HDR Pro.

Instead of processing the image in Camera Raw, I


selected the 16-bit Mode menu option. The preview
here shows how the 32-bit image would look if
converted directly to 16-bit mode using the default
Merge to HDR Pro settings.

I then clicked on the Curve panel tab to edit the


response curve. The adjustments you make here are
applied to the master 32-bit image, ltered through
the 32-bit to 16-bit conversion. Youll nd the tone curve
here responds quite differently compared to regular
Curves adjustments.

subscribe 0844 848 0848

In this step, I modied the Edge Glow settings to


apply a wide Radius, low Strength setting combined
with an increase to the Exposure slider setting.

I then ne-tuned the sliders to apply a slightly


softer Edge Glow, darker Exposure and increased
the Detail. I also made some adjustments to the
Advanced panel settings to lighten the shadows and
darken the highlights.

I then clicked OK to convert the image to a 16-bit


version. In Photoshop, I added a Curves adjustment
layer and applied the curve shape shown here to
produce a slightly more contrasty image.

Spring is a fantastic time to shoot wildlife,
with a hive of activity all around us. Whether
you are in your back garden or out in the
open countryside, nd out what to shoot
and how to shoot it with our host of experts
AFTER the cold and gloom
of winter, spring is a fabulous
time of year for photography.
With the days getting longer
and warmer, plants that have
been lying dormant for the
winter burst into life as owers
start to appear and trees cloak
themselves in leaves. Its also
the time when wildlife becomes
more active, with some of
our native species emerging

from hibernation and millions


of migrant birds arriving on
our shores.
Spring wildlife offers an
excellent selection of subjects
to photograph, and much of
it is more accessible than you
think. Weve compiled a host of
subject matter to inspire you,
so with the days getting
longer, why not get out
there with your camera?

BROWN HARES

ALL PICTURES MIKE RAE

Generally nocturnal and shy creatures,


spring sees a change in the brown hares
behaviour and they can often be seen in
broad daylight. Mike Rae explains how to
get a shot of these unpredictable animals

and not scaring them when they do come


close. They come to eld edges, farm tracks
and road edges in the early morning and
evening. If it has rained, they like to dry off
here too.

SHOOTING ADVICE

AREA OF COUNTRY

Brown hares are widespread across the UK.

HABITAT

Breeding on the ground rather than in


a burrow, brown hares can be found in
numerous habitats, from open farmland
and wildower meadows, to broadleaf
forests and heathland.

BEST TIME OF DAY

Brown hares are most active at dawn and


in the evening. The weeks leading up to the
long days of May and June are the best
times to photograph them. Photographing
hares relies on predicting where they will be

www.amateurphotographer.co.uk I 3 May 2014

Hares are shy and they hear, see and smell


very well, and at the slightest sign of danger
they run. Not only that, but they can be
very unpredictable you may see a few
in a eld on one day and none the next,
so getting interesting close-up shots can
be a challenge.
That said, hares are used to vehicles
and, given time, will approach a parked car,
especially if they have seen it before in the
same place. It can take days to build their
condence, but nd a quiet farm track in
which to park on an early summers
evening and hares will come very close,
provided you are quiet and still. The best
opportunities to photograph hares come
when you least expect them, so always try
to have a camera with you in the car should
an opportunity present itself.
Taking it to the next level, youll want
to look at using a mobile hide, making
sure you use one with a black carbon
coat inside to absorb any smells that
may spook the hares. Speak with local
farmers about putting up an unoccupied
hide for several days, as hares will learn
to ignore it. Enter the hide an hour before
you expect to see anything, but you will
need to be patient as hares are

unpredictable and there is no guarantee that


they will appear.

KIT NEEDED

Hares either run (I have many photos of the


backs of running hares) or lie down if they
hear a shutter, but long lenses counter this.
I shoot with either 400mm or 800mm
lenses, but a 70-300mm on a cropped
sensor is a good starting point. Due to
their speed, youll want a camera with a
decent burst shooting speed as well, while
for support I use a beanbag when shooting
from the car and a sturdy tripod in the hide.

environment and has travelled the

GARDEN BIRDS

If you dont fancy travelling to find your wildlife


subjects, your garden can provide the ideal venue.
Alan Price explains how to photograph garden birds

AREA OF COUNTRY

BEST TIME OF DAY

While the abundance of species will vary


depending on the area of the UK in which
you live, garden birds are widespread across
the country.

To ensure good feather detail, I rarely take


pictures in full sunlight. The soft light of
early morning or late afternoon is best.

HABITAT

Some years ago I built a simple but robust


bird table 2m tall with a 60cm square
top. This single feeding station is now the
base for attracting all my resident birds
to photograph. I also adapted my small

wooden shed to double up as a hide, using


the small window covered with a piece of
green netting for viewing, with my tripod and
camera lens slightly back from the opening.
I also use a comfortable stool, ensuring I am
alert to any action at all times.
To ensure that the backgrounds of my
photographs are always out of focus and
uncluttered, I positioned the table in the
centre of my lawn, which also means that
it is only 4m away from my shed hide. This
has evolved by carefully selecting a variety
of props, such as old kettles, old boots,
mossy logs, ower pots, wild owers and
clumps of grass, to create a series of mini
wild worlds. Once each set-up is complete, I
add crushed peanuts and chopped fat balls
in areas hidden from my cameras view to
attract my subjects.
For the picture of the goldnch perched
on a branch covered in apple blossom
(above left), I cut off a branch from my tree
and xed one end to a niger seed feeder
that was hanging above the table. Within a
few minutes, the goldnches were lining up
on the branch waiting for their turn to feed
and I soon had some great images.
When shooting from the hide, I tend to
focus on the areas where Ive laid the food
and then ne-tune the focus on the eyes/
head of the bird when it arrives. I try to
shoot with a shutter speed no slower than
1/1250sec, which often means Im shooting
at a sensitivity setting of around ISO 500.

KIT NEEDED

I like to shoot with a 300mm f/4 lens on


either my Nikon D90 or D7100, delivering
a focal length equivalent of 450mm. Failing
that, I shoot with my 70-300mm or 18105mm zooms, depending on how close
the subject is. To avoid camera shake, I use a
tripod or monopod, although a beanbag can
also come in handy.

LITTLE OWLS

Little owls are among the most beautiful and charismatic


species of owl found in the UK, explains Jules Cox
ALL PICTURES JULES COX

AREA OF COUNTRY
Little owls are found throughout England
and Wales, with a few pairs in southern
Scotland. While they are most common
in central, southern and south-eastern
England and the Welsh borders, like so
much of our wildlife, little owls are sadly
a species very much in decline.

HABITAT
In terms of habitat, little owls tend to favour
lowland farmland with hedges and copses,
open parkland and orchards. Their favourite
prey is invertebrates.

BEST TIME OF DAY


The best time of day to photograph all
species of owls is at rst light and dusk,
when they like to hunt and are therefore
often most active. This is also the time of
day when the sun is at its lowest angle and
the quality of the light is at its best for wildlife
photography. It is true what they say it
really is all about the light.

SHOOTING ADVICE
I nd spring to be particularly good for
photography, when the adult owls are
rearing chicks. At this time the adults are
very active, hunting frequently to ensure
their young are properly fed.
Like many species, little owls are
creatures of habit. I try to set up my hide
close to a favourite perch used by the
owls. Before I head out to photograph the
28

birds, I watch their behaviour and nd out


which perch they tend to use as a lookout
or for hunting by dropping directly onto
their prey (often referred to as posting).
When photographing, I ensure I am as far
away as my long lens will allow to minimise
disturbance.
I change the position of the hide with
the movement of the sun, depending on
whether I am looking to photograph the
owls front-lit, back-lit or in silhouette.
I nd it most rewarding to work on a longterm project, following the owls over the
course of a season to try to build up a varied
portfolio of images that tell the story of this
beautiful, charismatic, yet threatened species.
In doing so, I hope that the wider public will
fall in love with them as I have and want to
conserve them for future generations.

Common frogs can be found in


meadows, marshland and gardens.

BEST TIME OF DAY

Frogs are active during both the


day and night, but are most easily
observed during their breeding
season in early spring.

SHOOTING ADVICE

If you have a pond in your garden, the


chances are it will be alive with frogs
come spring, while public parks with
ponds or pools and nature reserves
are also great places to look for them.
The best way to achieve captivating
portraits is by shooting at, or near,
water level so you are at eye level with
the frogs. If the water is still enough,
you should be able to capture some
cracking reections, for which you will
need to be slightly higher. A beanbag
is the perfect tool to add extra height
and it provides a welcome platform to
rest on plus much-needed stability.
If you lie still, the frogs will quickly get
used to your presence. In the breeding
season, it is particularly important not
to disturb them. Do not make any

KIT NEEDED

The kit you need is fairly minimal, with


a macro lens, beanbag and something
to lie on being all thats required.
ALL PICTURES JODIE RANDALL

I use a long lens with a xed focal length


of 500mm and built-in image stabilisation
for all my wildlife photography. I love the
compression this lens gives me and the way
it isolates my subject from its background.
The built-in image stabilisation technology
helps avoid camera shake, which is
particularly important when photographing
a subject such as owls as they are most
active in low-light conditions when shutter
speeds drop. Using a long lens also helps
me to photograph relatively unobtrusively,
minimising any disturbance.
Good eld craft is an essential element
of all successful wildlife photography. Like
most bird species, owls are highly sensitive.
For this reason, I often work from a hide in
order to get closer to my subject with as little
disturbance as possible.
Putting your subject rst should always
be your prime consideration when
photographing wildlife. Typically, I use a cloth
hide of camouage canvas cover stretched
over a tubular frame. The hides camouage
patterning helps break up its outline in the
context of its wider environment. The hides
dark interior also means the owls have more
difculty seeing my outline and helps to
conceal any movement within.
A sturdy tripod is essential for hide work as
it is impossible to keep a heavy lens steady
for a long time. Using a tripod also helps
to ensure the lens is already in the right
position in anticipation of where the owl will
appear, minimising any sudden movement
that may frighten off the subject.

sudden movements, and if you do


need to adjust your position, move
very slowly and steadily.
Flotsam and jetsam oating on
the water, other frogs and untidy
backgrounds can cause unwanted
distractions in an image. To combat
this, try shooting through some foliage
in the foreground. Find a suitable
gap to shoot through and use a wide
aperture to blur the surrounding
vegetation. This not only eliminates the
problem of unwanted distractions in a
photograph, but the foliage also acts as
a frame for your subject.

While pufns and shags can be found at


various spots around the country, from
Cornwall to Shetland, one of the best places
to shoot these seabirds is the Farne Islands.
Situated off the Northumberland coast, the
Farne Islands are owned by the National
Trust. Theyre accessible by boat from April
to October for Inner Farne, and from May to
July for Staple Island, with numerous boats
sailing from Seahouses.

HABITAT

Surrounded by open sea, this rocky


collection of islands with its grassy cliff-tops
provides an ideal place for nesting colonies.

BEST TIME OF DAY

You cant land on the islands until lunchtime.


However, sunset tours around the islands
are available.

SHOOTING ADVICE

The challenge on the Farnes is how to


isolate your subject. Staple Island is great
30

for shooting pufns in a rocky setting,


against a dark rocky background. On Inner
Farne, where the pufns nest in burrows,
the foliage helps to provide foreground and
background mush. Its possible to see trails
where some pufns make their way back
to the cliffs. If you sit near one of these you
could have one scurry right past you!
While pufns mostly keep their distance,
shags dont give two hoots about you. Being
able to get so close means you can capture
some really intimate shots look out for
shots of birds holding their wings out to dry.
Camera settings will vary depending on
what youre shooting and the conditions.
Underexposure will be required for
close-ups of shags and its easy to clip the
highlights on a pufns breast, so keep an
eye on your histogram.
Its important not to keep moving
around. After an initial recce, pick a spot,
sit down and let the shot come to you. And
remember, if you get one good shot, give
your camera a quick 90 twist and youll
probably nd that you have two good shots.

KIT NEEDED

Take everything from your widest lens to


your longest (ideally a 300mm). A 70200mm zoom is perfect for shooting
from the boat, while a sturdy monopod
is a must for long lenses, although your
camera bag can be a useful support for
ground-level shots.
Its worth noting that the white cliffs
arent made of chalk, but rather of guano,
which is rather more pungent, so its best
to wear old clothes, a hat and not to look
up with your mouth open. Rain can add
atmosphere to a shot, so make sure
youve got a cover for your camera. Its
also worth taking a pair of binoculars.

Jamie Hall explains how to


capture stunning images
of the UKs only venomous
snake, the elusive adder

at f/4, ISO 800

AREA OF COUNTRY
Adders are the only venomous snake native
to the UK and are widespread in England,
Scotland and Wales, but are not believed
to be found in Ireland. Their distinct dorsal
diamond zigzag pattern easily identies
them, but they also present in melanistic
form a dark brown or solid black colour.

HABITAT
Adders live in a variety of habitats, but I
tend to stick to sandy heathlands, rough
commons or south-facing woodland edges,
where the snakes can bask in direct sun,
close to tight cover in order to hide. They are
elusive, with a nervous nature. Once I have
found a suitable subject, I ensure I am in a
position to be able to compose the subject
and surrounding landscape at eye level,
taking great care not to get too close and
upset the snake.

BEST TIME OF DAY


During the spring, I head out on warm, dry
mornings. The earlier you can get out the
better, as this is when the adders are more
subscribe 0844 848 0848

approachable. If they have bathed in the sun


for a couple of hours, they are more likely
to make a hasty retreat for cover as soon
as they sense you approaching and you will
miss out on any photo opportunities.

SHOOTING ADVICE
I normally choose a 180mm macro lens
to get close-up images. Provided you
approach the adder quietly, this lens enables
you to get clean images of the subject while
blurring the background. I prefer to use
the 180mm lens rather than the 100mm,
or even 50mm, because it means you
dont have to get quite so close. This is also
better for the snakes welfare as you do not
encroach on the animals space as much.
I rest the camera on a beanbag as tripods
are bulky and get caught up in undergrowth.
Once I am in position and have composed
the image, I focus on the eye using a shallow
depth of eld to blur any distracting foliage in
the background. Be careful not to blow the
highlights on the lower jaw area of the adder
if the sun is shining on your subject,
by underexposing slightly.

An adder in a
woodland glade

ISO 100

KIT NEEDED
As well as shooting with a macro lens for
the up close and personal images, I also
use other lenses, such as a wideangle, to
show the adders in their environment, or a
mid-range zoom and compose the subject
small in the frame. I always try to make sure
that I am taking images from the subjects
eye level, and by using different lenses
and compositions this enables me to get a
variety of different images in a few hours.

Jamie is a wildlife photographer based close to
the coast in Suffolk and just south of the
Norfolk Broads an ideal location where he
can follow his passion for photography. The
amazing wildlife and scenery around this beautiful part of
England allows Jamie to take some unique images.

WORTH

Your chance to enter the UKs most prestigious


competition for amateur photographers
WITH the opening two rounds
of APOY looking at street and
animal photography, we now turn
our attention to World in Motion,
so you can show off your most
breathtaking action image.
With fast burst modes and
sophisticated AF systems appearing
on the most affordable DSLR or
compact system camera, you dont
need the most advanced kit to get
a stunning action shot.
Sport will naturally spring to mind
as the perfect subject matter for
this challenge, but dont think you
need exclusive press accreditation
to some of sports top-ight arenas
and games to capture a great shot.

Grass-roots games and amateur


events can still produce fantastic
photo opportunities, and you can
apply the same principles and
techniques that are used at major
sporting events to these more
accessible environments.
However, youre not just
restricted to sporting events, so
look further aeld for inspiration.
And while shooting with a fast
shutter speed to capture the action
lends itself to this subject, dont be
afraid to consider using a slower
shutter speed to illustrate the
movement. Just show us something
with bags of impact that captures
the drama of the event.

HOW TO ENTER

Olympus OM-D E-M10 with a 14-42mm EZ

Top sports photographer Mark Pain has some suggestions to help you get started shooting stunning action images
MARK PAIN

CAPTURING THE MOMENT

PREPARATION

UNDERSTAND THE SPORT

OTHER SUBJECTS

If youre shooting sport, it should


ideally be something youre familiar
with so you have a good idea of the
rules, patterns of play and so on. If
youre not familiar with it or youve
never tried to shoot that particular
sport before, take some time at
the beginning of the game or event
to stand back and watch whats
happening. Look for the shapes the

However, you dont have to shoot


any sport at all as you can capture
movement elsewhere. This can be
anything, from a slow-sync ash
shot of a child on a swing to light
trails at night, blurring water or
freezing the moment a balloon full
of water is burst. Its up to you to
be as creative as you want when it
comes to the World in Motion.

ISTOCK

Well-researched preparation plays


a huge part in coming away with
a special image that moment.
Once youve chosen your sport and
the xture you want to photograph,
its vital to do a proper recce of the
location beforehand, preferably
hours or days before. Great
sports pictures are rarely taken
by chance theyre more often
down to meticulous planning and
preparation.
When you go on your recce, you
need to work out the basics of the
shoot so youre fully prepared when
the action starts. This will maximise
your chance of coming away with a

special image. Ask yourself: What


focal-length lens will work best?
Where is the best place to shoot
from? Will I be able to access that
spot during the event?
Take a good look at the
backgrounds you are likely to face.
A great sports picture normally
requires a plain, clean background.
This will make your subject stand
out even more for the viewer, giving
the image more impact. A busy or
messy background can ruin even
the best sports picture, so this really
is a crucial aspect. Bad decisions
made at this stage can completely
ruin your day and leave you with a
set of poor images.
Sometimes its not possible to
do a recce days before an event,
or a venue can change its layout at
the last minute. The golden rule is
to get to the event as early as you
can to give yourself the maximum
amount of time to make the right
decisions so you can capture that
special image.

players are making or the take-off


point of the athlete or horse, and
decide on the exact moment youd
like to capture. Dont start shooting
straight away. Instead, step back
and get a good look of whats going
on in front of you.

MARK PAIN

Sport is one of the most exciting


and thrilling forms of photography.
With often fast and action-packed
subjects, it requires both high
levels of concentration and great
reactions. Its all about capturing the
moment that crunching tackle,
that beautiful jump or that deadheat nish. Yet its not something
you can achieve simply by turning
up to a local football match and
hoping for the best.

and apertures, very quickly when
shooting sport, so practise at home
before you head out. You should be
able to change often-used settings

eye away from the viewnder.

You must be comfortable with your
camera and its controls. You may

years of photography under his belt. First inspired by seeing some of the
fantastic images entered into Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Arnie has
spent a huge amount of his time, camera in hand, tracking down British

Jon Harris Hampshire

As a photographer, Jon has never been one to


stand still. Hes been roaming around air shows
since he was ten years old photographing
planes, and these days is constantly trying out
new techniques, such as reverse-lens macro
work. Wildlife is a passion of Jons alongside
aviation, and the bird-of-prey shoot you see on
these pages was one of his frst opportunities
for him to get into real studio work.

While Christines husband was the rst one of them to
pick up a camera, when he abandoned it to take up stick
making it was hers for good. I love to get really close to
subjects such as insects and butteries, she says. I just
love nature. Christines future plans are to get some good

WIN

I THINK we all appreciate a picture in


which one colour stands out against a
sea of another, as the statement is direct
and obvious we all know where we are
supposed to look. When we encounter
these scenes in life we dont always see the
potential, so Carlo should be congratulated
for being observant on this occasion.
However, to make the most of this scene,
Carlo needed to take a little more control
of his camera to meter and set the white
balance himself instead of leaving these two
critical issues to chance.
The camera has seen a dark area, which
naturally it wants to brighten, and an image
that is full of one colour, which it cant quite
understand. Hence, the resulting picture is
too light and too cold.
The Levels histogram shows that midtones
dominate the image, so Ive shifted the
middle slider to the right to make them
darker. For the colour, I made a shift towards
red/magenta in the Hue/Saturation window
and tackled the oversaturated yellows with
a desaturating slide to the left.
Carlo has, I suspect, added extra
saturation to the yellow tree to make it stand
out, and has lightened it until some of the
colour information has been lost. While the
colour and tone are now about as right as
they can be with the detail that is left, the
overall effect isnt very exciting.
Using a red-dominated Channel Mixer
conversion, I made a monochrome version
of the image, which darkened the green and
made the yellow stand out just by their
tonal differences. I also added some warmth
via a duotone to create an image in which
we can concentrate more thoroughly on the
difference between the yellow and green
trees than we could in the colour version.

ALEXANDER tells me that he was


attracted to this scene by its relaxing
atmosphere, and I think wed agree that
sitting next to a stream and a semiconcealed bridge in the middle of the woods
would be a very relaxing experience indeed.

He really has chosen a lovely spot, and his


low angle has made the most of the leading
curved line of the stones in the foreground.
When we are relaxing, though, we like
things to be calm no loud music, no bright
lights and nothing to disturb our senses. Yet
what we have here are extremely powerful
colours that break the peace.
You can desaturate colours just using the
saturation slider, but sometimes this leaves
them looking as though they have been
switched off. I usually prefer to make a black

& white copy here simply by desaturating


the image completely to use as a layer
between the original and a copy of the
original. I then switch the blending mode of
the top layer to Color and reduce its opacity,
gently fading the colour.
The result is much more relaxing, and
still holds more colour information than the
version that just had the saturation reduced.
It is a lovely shot, and was a lovely shot
before I started, so for that, Alexander
deserves my picture of the week award.

Snowmen Ami Debesh


Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828, 28-200mm,
1/250sec at f/8, ISO 800

AMI HAS fallen into the classic trap that we have


all fallen into at some point believing that cameras
understand snow. They dont.
You can see from the histogram just how far off
Amis camera was from understanding that snow
needs to be white, and a massive pulling in of the
highlight and midtone sliders has been needed to
subscribe 0844 848 0848

create some semblance of white in the image. The


snowmen are in the shade too, as one might expect,
so a blast of contrast via a tone curve is needed to
give them some shape.
Amis picture is riddled with image noise, which will
need drastic action to remove. I added 10 pixels of
Gaussian Blur to the picture on a duplicate layer, and
then faded the blurred image to the Color mode
to remove the massive blobs of colour that were
painted all over the snowmen. Then a pass through
the noise-reduction lter removed the luminance

grey dots along with lots of image detail.


Our snowmen were still suffering from the cold,
however, with blue and cyan tints to their bodies, so
I used the Hue/Saturation tool to simply desaturate
these colours to remove them, and to return the
snow to a whitish tone.
In future, Ami, set your cameras exposure
compensation to at least +2EV when shooting white
objects. In this case, matters were made worse by
the setting sun shining at the camera, but usually
+2EV would be about enough.

Icons of photography Ralph Gibson

iCONS OF PHOTOGRAPHY
ICONIC phOtOgraphEr i photograph

Ralph Gibson
1939-present
Contrasty, minimal and surreal, Ralph Gibsons images dont conform to photographic norms, writes David Clark

46

A visual signature in photography,


Gibson told me in an interview in 2007,
is something that enables the viewer to
instantly know this is the work of a specifc
photographer. You cannot get anywhere in
photography by imitating the work of the
people you admire. Photographers whose
work is instantly recognisable and who have
a visual signature are not unduly proud of it.
For Gibson, fnding this signature meant
concentrating on everyday objects, such as
a tablecloth, a shoe or a part of the human
body. His aim was to turn something totally
insignifcant into an object of importance
and to make my perception of anything
the subject itself.
From the 1970s onwards, Gibson has
worked by gradually subtracting elements
from the frame. In a world of infnite myriad
possible objects to photograph, I eliminate
everything I dont want in a frame until Im
fnally left with what I do want, he continued.
I call this process subtractive.
This approach creates a sense of
mystery and a tension between what we
are shown and what is hidden from view.
One notable example is Gibsons 1975
photograph Priest Collar (see page 48).
This tightly cropped image only shows the
priests black tunic, a bright fash of white
collar and his chin. The rest is left to the
viewers imagination.
One important part of Gibsons style is
the use of shadows to remove unnecessary
detail. I photograph primarily in bright
sunlight and expose for the highlights, which
is pretty easy to do, he says. I eliminate a
lot of unwanted material and activity into the
shadow area. In so doing, I create a shape.
Instead of being a variation on light,
for me shadows themselves become
cut forms, they become shapes.

RALPH Gibson is generally regarded as


one of the great fne-art photographers
working today. He is celebrated for creating
deceptively simple images that often have
an unsettling, surreal and dreamlike quality.
He has been photographing for more
than 50 years, yet his style has remained
unusually consistent throughout this long
period. His subjects are usually simple and
apparently unimportant, but the way he
chooses them, frames them and composes
the image makes his work unique.
Gibsons early photographs, taken while a
student at the San Francisco Art Institute in
California, USA, were street-documentary
pictures. However, even in those images his
unusual style was clearly present, particularly
in the pictures that focus on details or
include strong shadows.
In those early shots, he has said, I
remember wanting to use the edge of the
frame in such a way as to imply activity
transpiring outside the frame. He further
honed this approach in the following years
and his images later took on an increasingly
minimalist appearance as he moved towards
his mature style.
In between dropping out of college in
1962 and the publication of his frst major
book, The Somnambulist, in 1970, Gibson
worked with two photographers who had
an important infuence on his work. The frst
was the American photojournalist Dorothea
Lange, who employed Gibson as a printer
for two years. Then, in 1967, Gibson began
assisting Robert Frank, most famous for
his documentary photography book The
Americans, on two of his movies.
Both these photographers impressed on
Gibson the importance of fnding ones own
individual style. He describes this quality as
a visual signature.

Ralph gibson

In recent years, Gibson has begun making


live performances in which he plays his
own musical compositions on guitar while
his images are projected on a backdrop
In the late 1960s, there was
limited opportunity for fne-art
photography to be published in
high-quality books, so Gibson founded his
own publishing company, Lustrum Press,
in 1969. It subsequently published not
only Gibsons own books, but also those by
other prominent American photographers,
including Larry Clark and Mary Ellen Mark.
Gibson has continued to publish his work in
book form and has now produced more than
40 titles. These books, which include Days
at Sea (1975) and Refractions (2005) simply
present a series of apparently unrelated
images for readers to absorb. They might
show anything from a gesturing hand, part
of a face or a nude female torso, to a door
handle or a section of architecture. They are
contemplative images focusing on shapes,
patterns, textures, shadows and light.
Now 75, Gibson continues to produce
plenty of new work and experiment with
photography and other media. In
2010, he was the cinematographer
on American musician Lou Reeds
documentary flm Red Shirley. In recent
years, Gibson has also begun making live
performances in which he plays his own
musical compositions on guitar while his
images are projected on a backdrop.
Gibsons work, which is included in more
than 150 museum collections worldwide,
has all been shot on Leica equipment. The
frst camera he owned, which he bought
48

when he was 22, was a Leica and he


has continued using the manufacturers
M-series cameras ever since.
Until recently, Gibson was resistant to
digital imaging, preferring to use flm and
his expert traditional darkroom printing
techniques. However, in 2013 Leica sent
him a prototype of its M Monochrom digital
black & white camera. Despite declaring
that digital photography will never compare
to analogue the previous year, the camera
convinced him otherwise.
Its a measure of his status as a
photographer that in February 2014, Leica
produced a limited-edition M Monochrom,
which was signed and endorsed by Gibson.
Despite its $28,000 (around 16,000)
price tag, all 35 models reportedly sold
out in fve minutes.

EVER wished that your arms were longer when


it comes to taking pictures or capturing video? Well,
XSories has developed a range of compact poles to help
you get your camera into otherwise tough-to-reach positions.
The Big U-Shot camera pole we tested is a limited-edition
model, extending from 29cm to 94cm,
and made from aluminium and
leather with a screw-in strap for
extra security. It looks great, bearing
more of a resemblance to a fancy
collapsible baton than a humble camera
pole. In use, it is very solid, locking into place
reassuringly with a simple twist when extended, and
collapsing smoothly when operated in reverse.
I found that the Big U-Shot was great for taking group photos
and for getting a camera above a crowd at concerts, although
this may incur a shower of projectiles if used selshly!
The tip of the Big U-Shot has a 14in universal screw head
attached to a ball that can be locked into position at various angles,
and will hold a device weighing up to 3kg. Its a simple, affordable
way to capture shots from extreme angles with a freedom you
wouldnt get from simply extending your arm. Jon Devo

Made from ballistic nylon, the Python Slimpack is waterresistant and very durable. Should this water-resistance not be
enough for you, a removable rain poncho is also included. This is
a bright red in colour and has a reective Booq logo on the back,
which is intended to make you more visible in rainy, low-light
conditions as well as keeping your gear dry.
Down the centre of the bag is an attachment for a tripod,
which can be rmly secured in place

a small clip at the top. The zips
seem very durable and can be

Another noteworthy

Sony Alpha 6000 Camera test

Sony Alpha 6000


Speed and quality are what the new 24.3-million-pixel Sony
Alpha 6000 is all about. Capable of 0.06sec autofocus, Sony
says it will never miss the perfect shot. Jon Devo takes aim
Jon Devo
Technical writer
AFTER four years, it is only now that
Sony has updated its NEX-6 one of
the most popular compact system
cameras the market has ever seen in
the form of the Alpha 6000. The new
camera also shares some common
features with the equally popular Sony
NEX-7 and retains the distinctive NEX
body shape, which will please fans of
the series, but that is pretty much
where the similarities end. Although
the E-mount-compatible Alpha 6000
resembles the camera it is replacing,
subscribe 0844 848 0848

inside Sony has included some of the


best technology it has to offer.
By bringing the portable NEX cameras
into the Alpha family, the Japanese rm
is clearly trying to blur the lines between
the DSLR and compact system camera
markets. To help the Alpha 6000
compete with DSLRs, Sony has included
the new Bionz X processor that is featured
in the Sony Alpha 7R, which was APs
Product of the Year at the 2014 AP
Awards, plus an improved version of the
APS-C-sized, 24.3-million-pixel Exmor
APS HD CMOS sensor featured in its
previous SLT agship, the Alpha 77.
In short, the Alpha 6000 is what you
would get if you threw the NEX-6 and the
NEX-7 into a boiling pot and sprinkled the
fragrant mixture with the latest and tastiest
hot sauce.

FEATURES
The 24.3-million-pixel, APS-C-sized image
sensor in the Alpha 6000 features a gapless
on-chip design, increasing the cameras
light-collecting efciency for improved lowlight shooting and reduced noise throughout
its ISO 100-25,600 sensitivity range. It is
also worth noting that there is no antialiasing lter in this model.
In the past few years, the high-end
interchangeable-lens camera landscape
has become increasingly competitive, with
Olympuss OM-D range, Fujilms X-series
and Panasonics GX and GH cameras all
continually pushing the boundaries of
what is possible in a mirrorless camera.
However, the Sony Alpha 6000 enters
the market with one of the most impressive
feature lists in its class, greatly beneting
from the improved processing power of
the Bionz X engine, which is three times as
fast as the original Bionz processor used in
the NEX cameras. The increased speed is
particularly notable in terms of start-up time.
From switching the camera on, I can begin
shooting in about a second, even in hi-speed
burst mode, which is fantastic for sharp
shooters wanting to capture shots at
a moments notice.
Improvements to areas such as autofocus
speed have been enabled by this extra
power, with the Alpha 6000
recording a rapid focusing time of
0.06sec according to the CIPA

standard. Under ideal conditions, the


Alpha 6000 has one of the fastest
focusing systems on the market,
even faster than that of the impressive
Fujilm X-T1. It also helps that the shutter
lag is imperceptible, with the Alpha 6000
achieving focus almost instantaneously.
Burst-mode shooting at up to 11fps,
continuous for 21 raw + JPEG frames or 49
ne JPEGs, is also possible before buffering
becomes an issue. This will appeal to anyone
considering using the camera for sports,
action or fast-moving family members.
The Alpha 6000 has 25 precision
contrast-detection AF points, as did the
NEX-6. But theres a more signicant
improvement to the number of phasedetection points, up from 99 previously to
179 points, covering almost 100% of the
frame. The new hybrid autofocus system
not only makes it easier for the camera to
recognise scenes, but it also boosts the
ability of the Alpha 6000 to lock onto the
correct subjects and track them tenaciously.
AF-A (a combination of continuous
and single-shot AF) is featured in the
Alpha 6000, which is a rst for the Sony
E-mount family. When in this mode, and
faced with situations where subjects arent
predominantly stationary or moving, the
camera will select the appropriate focusing

see that Sony has enabled active AF point
visibility, making it easier to check whether
focusing is accurate or not, particularly while
shooting burst frames and tracking.

BUILD AND HANDLING
Designed to operate like a DSLR, the Alpha
6000 has dual shutter and aperture control

access while avoiding accidental pressing.


The rst of the two custom buttons, C1, sits
beside the shutter button, while C2 can
be used to delete images during playback
mode, as well as be set to access a number
of functions and quick menus.
The Fn button above the rear control
wheel opens the shortcut menu and can
also be used to connect to a smart device
for image transfer. Auto-exposure lock
(AEL), main menu and manual ash buttons
sit along the top of the LCD screen, although
given the numerous ways in which the Alpha
6000 can be customised, theres little
reason to delve into the main menu once
youve got the camera set up how you like.
I found the Alpha 6000s controls easy
to access and operate during use. Within
a short time of using the camera, I could
adapt controls swiftly without even looking
at the LCD or averting my attention away
from compositions.
In terms of portability, most of the
cameras weight sits in the grip, which
houses the battery and memory card, but
this is countered by the weight of the lens,
making the Alpha 6000 well balanced. Its
comfortable to operate one-handed, but
for optimum comfort I preferred to use two
hands and shoot through the EVF in the
majority of instances.

The 1,200-zone evaluative multi-segment

take a reading from a large portion of the
frame makes for reliable meter readings
that produce consistent results. Shooting

FEATURES IN USE SONY PLAYMEMORIES APPS


THE ALPHA 6000 comes with
some fantastic features straight out
of the box, including Sonys recently
updated PlayMemories app library,
which is accessible through the
cameras menu when connected to
Wi-Fi. This provides you with a host
of additional features that you can
download (for free or purchase) to
expand the cameras functionality.
A couple of the applications I
really liked were Liveview Grading
and Light Shaft.
Liveview Grading enables you to
add colour effects to your videos in
real-time, adjusting various aspects
such as colour-depth saturation
or applying preset effects. Costing
7.99, its a downsized version of
what video editors spend hours
doing on programs that cost
20 times as much.

54

Light Shaft does pretty much


what youd expect, and for 3.99
you can use it to craft the light in
your images using one of four light
shapes: are, ray of light, star and
light beam. Its a really interesting
effect that can add atmosphere
and drama to an otherwise at
image. Light intensity, width,
direction and position are all
adjustable, and the app makes
a copy of your image so that the
original is untouched. I also enjoyed
using Cinematic Photo, Smart
Remote Control and Catch Light.
I did experience some stability
issues with certain apps, but the
cameras rmware has since been
updated so hopefully these will have
been addressed, and for the most
part I found them straightforward to
use. Sony PlayMemories apps are

can read the distance of each

Benets from the improved
system also carry over into AF performance,
as the Alpha 6000 can drive its lenses
35% faster than Sonys previous system.
In use, the Alpha 6000 switches focus
points rapidly when tracking subjects using
its 11fps hi-speed continuous burst mode,
demonstrated by small red AF points lighting
up in the display as your subjects move
across, towards or away in the frame. Its the
closest thing many users will get to shooting
fast-moving subjects with a Nikon D4S or a
Canon EOS-1D X, for a fraction of the price.
I did experience dropped focus in a few
frames, but I was able to capture so many
frames either side of the failures that it
wasnt a signicant issue. Overall, I was
very impressed with the Alpha 6000s
AF performance: its one of the fastest
cameras in its class and snappier than
any comparable DSLR.

NOISE, RESOLUTION
AND SENSITIVITY
Considering the resolution of the Alpha
6000s 24.3-million-pixel, APS-C-sized
sensor, we expected the Alpha 6000 to
perform well and it did. It scored 32 on
our resolution chart, which is comparable to
the 31 scored by the Nikon D5300.
Multi-frame noise reduction (MFNR) is
now included in ISO settings in-camera
rather than via a downloadable app, as was
the case with the NEX-5R and NEX-6. This
is deployed in low-light situations, ring off
six frames in quick succession and then
stacking them into a single image to combat
noise. At lower ISO levels, theres no distinct
advantage to using MFNR, but at higher
sensitivity settings the improvement in noise
reduction and detail retention is impressive,
particularly beyond ISO 1600.
Theres almost no visible colour noise
in any images until about ISO 6400,
and looking at the raw les its possible
to balance the noise reduction enough
to remove any damaging noise while still
retaining a good level of edge sharpness
and texture. The camera is capable of
applying area-specic noise reduction that
is intelligent enough to avoid being too
aggressive, until you push it to its extremes.
Beyond ISO 8000, photographs begin
to look more artistic than accurate when
viewed any larger than they automatically
appear on the Alpha 6000s 3in screen.
Id happily print JPEG images straight out
of the Alpha 6000, but for scenarios where
light is very limited and you need a fastenough shutter speed to shoot handheld,
the Alpha 6000s capable sensitivity
performance is a great support.

Competition
Olympus OM-D E-M10

Nikon D5300

TESTED AP 22 MARCH 2014

TESTED AP 14 DECEMBER 2013

WITH the Alpha 6000, Sony is aiming to attract those


considering buying their rst DSLR or looking for a highly
capable portable second body. While there are many cameras
that will be suitable for both audiences, the Olympus OM-D
E-M10 and Nikon D5300 stand out as direct competitors.
The E-M10 is a superb companion camera, coat-pocketsized with a lens attached, and suited to a wide range
of applications thanks to its micro four thirds mount and
good low-light performance. While it lacks some of the
video functionality of the Alpha 6000, it has a superior
1,037,000-dot touchscreen and classic DSLR styling.
The D5300 is a solid rst camera that matches the
video and sensor resolution of the Alpha 6000 and has a
similar price tag, but benets from having access to Nikons
extensive lens family. There is an increase in size and weight
with the Nikon, but if that is not a concern it will be tough to
choose between the two.

dominated the frame, the camera


was able to intelligently read and
apply the appropriate settings.
However, there are 11 white balance
presets as well as the option to assign one
custom option if you want more precise
settings, plus 12 creative style modes to
add some in-camera colour options. The
only one I wasnt particularly impressed
with was portrait mode, as its default effect
made people look either unwell or hot.
That said, the best thing about the colour
styles is the ability to adjust their contrast,
saturation and sharpness to achieve a
look that suits your tastes.
I prefer to make colour adjustments
myself in post-processing and leave the
camera in its default mode. Standard colour
captured by the Alpha 6000 is rich, and
saturated enough to be vibrant without
being unrealistic.

9/10
VIEWFINDER,
LCD AND VIDEO
On paper, the Alpha 6000s Tru-Finderbranded, 0.39in, 1.44-million-dot OLED
EVF appears to be a downgrade from
the 0.5in, 2.3-million-dot XGA OLED
viewnder that featured on the NEX-6.
Even the magnication has been slightly
reduced, from 1.09x in the NEX-6 to
1.07x, equivalent to 70x in 35mm terms.
However, in use, the smaller, lowerresolution EVF on the Alpha 6000 appears
58

to render a 100% eld of view with greater


vibrancy and clarity than its predecessor.
The refresh rate is impressive, meaning that
lag is barely noticeable when moving the
camera, so while it may not be as good as
an optical viewnder, its certainly not poor.
At 921,600 dots, the Alpha 6000s
3in TFT LCD screen is a match for the
NEX-6 that it replaces, but its not quite as
impressive as the LCD on the pricier Fujilm
X-T1, or even the cheaper touchscreenoperable Olympus OM-D E-M10, both of
which sport 1.04-million-dot screens.
The 16:9 aspect ration of the Alpha
6000s tilting LCD screen works great for
video, but leaves two black bars either side
when in photo mode, cropping the screen. It
didnt bother me too much because I prefer
to shoot stills using the EVF, but it does
make the screen appear quite small when
using it during live view.
People keen to shoot video will be
pleased to learn that the Alpha 6000
includes some useful functions, including
zebra patterning, and that it can record
1920x1080-pixel full HD, AVCHD
Ver2.0/MP4 video at 60p and 24p. It also
has a Type D Micro HDMI connection,
providing a clean HDMI output for video
recording. Its a little disappointing that
theres no headphone jack to monitor
audio, but the multi-interface hotshoe
at least allows you to connect an external
microphone.

8/10

www.amateurphotographer.co.uk I 3 May 2014

Verdict

STRIKING a strong balance between aesthetics and


performance, the Sony Alpha 6000 is a desirable camera
with no standout aws. Of course, improvements can and
will always be made, but Sony largely hit the nail on the
head with the NEX-6 and NEX-7 cameras, so rather than
drastically overhauling those designs for their replacement,
it has simply advanced the imaging technology and
processing power of this updated model.
The improvements, particularly in low-light performance
and speed, are signicant enough to justify an existing
NEX user upgrading, and I also believe the Alpha 6000
will challenge the entry-level DSLR market and appeal to
advanced enthusiasts, just as Sony is hoping it will.
Top-spec technology and a host of cutting-edge
features may just see the Alpha 6000 mirror the longevity
and success of its predecessor and keep it competitive in
years to come.

AS MANUFACTURERS make
cameras smaller and smaller, the demand
for small, lightweight ashguns to
accompany them also increases. Weighing
just 203g, the Nissin i40 fulls this
demand. However, despite being small,
it doesnt scrimp on features.

FEATURES
With shutter speeds of up to 1/8000sec
and a guide number of 27m  ISO 100
at its 35mm zoom-head position (or 40m
 ISO 100 at 105mm), the Nissin i40 is
powerful for its size. However, it isnt just its
power that is impressive. The i40 can rotate
180 either left or right, and the ash head
can tilt up through 90, making it easy to
bounce the ash off walls or a ceiling. If you
dont have a wall or ceiling to bounce the

ash off, then the i40 has its own slide-out


bounce card, as well as a wideangle diffuser.
The i40 can even double as a small video
light using two LEDs, with nine different
power levels. When shooting video, the
lights can be powered for up to 3.5 hours
from the ashs four AA batteries. Batteries
arent included with the ashgun, although
a plastic diffuser and a small case are.
Usefully the case has a carabiner and a belt
or strap loop, which makes it easy to carry
the ash safely with you when not in use.
The Nissin i40 is available in Canon and
Nikon t Sony, four thirds and Fujilm
versions will follow shortly and the ash is
compatible with the intelligent TTL metering
systems from each of these manufacturers.
However, the i40 goes a stage further in
that it can also be used as a wireless TTL
slave, or as a simple slave should you wish
to use it with an older ash system or as
part of a studio ash set-up. The Nissin i40
really is a fully specied ash unit that is
packed in to a tiny, but well-built body.

BUILD AND HANDLING


The build quality of the Nissin i40 is
as good as you would expect from a
proprietary manufacturer, but what you
really want to know is how easy it is to
use. Flashguns can be daunting, but, like
other Nissin products, the i40 is very userfriendly. The two dials on the rear are the
only controls on this ashgun. One acts as
a function dial, while the other dictates the
power of the ash when it is in manual or
TTL mode.

IN USE
With just two dials, and a self-explanatory
range of labels and icons, one of the i40s
key selling points has to be its ease of use.
I had no problem getting the ash up and
running, in all its modes, without the need
for the instruction manual. The only items
on the dial that may need an explanation

are the SF and SD settings, which stand


for Slave Film and Slave Digital. The SD
setting takes a pre-ash into consideration
before being triggered, while the SF mode
res on detection of another ash. Both
these modes worked perfectly, and the
size of the ash makes it ideal for discreet
off-camera use.
The included plastic diffuser snaps into
place with no danger of it falling off. When
shooting a portrait in bright sunshine, the i40
is powerful enough, even with the diffuser,
to provide a decent level of ll-in ash.
The additional video LED feature doesnt
offer enough power to be useful except in
low-light conditions. In daylight, they failed
to even add a catchlight to the subjects
eye. However, it is useful for helping to focus
when taking still images in low light. AP

Verdict
WE ALL wish for smaller and
lighter camera equipment, but dont
want to sacrice any of the features
we have come to expect. In this
regard, the Nissin i40 is excellent.
It may not be as powerful as a fullsized ashgun, but it is more than
powerful enough to act as a ll-in
ash on a bright day. Its size makes
it a great travel companion for a
small DSLR or CSC, especially as
it can be used
wirelessly.
However, best
of all is the fact
it is so simple
to use.

WHATS IT WORTH?

I was looking through some of


my old issues of AP and found an
article in October 2007 referring
to the Canon T90 and Data Memory Back
90. I have actually owned this set-up, along
with the Interface Unit DMB and two MSX
computers, for a few years now. I have
since moved to digital and do not use this
equipment any more. Would this equipment
attract any interest today? If so, what value
could I put on it?

WEIGHTY PROBLEM

I have been an enthusiastic


photographer for more than
50 years, almost always
working with Pentax equipment.
However, my last Pentax, a K10D,
with all the lenses I had accumulated,
started to feel too heavy for me, so a
few years ago I decided to change to
a smaller, lighter format. The camera I
chose was an Olympus Pen E-PL3.
Sadly, I am so frustrated by its image
quality, which is much less sharp than
my old Pentax, that I am almost ready
to give up my lifelong hobby.
Have I expected too much of a
camera that has a smaller sensor, but
many more pixels than my old one?
The lenses are much lighter, but are
they likely to be of a lesser quality? Do
I need to change my technique? Would
I get the quality I seek by upgrading
to one of the Olympus OM models,
although I cannot easily afford to do
that? Or should I give up worrying
about weight, buy a wheelbarrow and
dig the Pentax out of the cupboard?
Jay Moore

Without seeing the soft


images youre getting from
your new camera, I cant
say whether its as a result of a fault of
some sort or, as you suggest, because
you are expecting too much. I would,
however, suspect the latter, as your
choice of the E-PL3 denitely feels like
a downgrade to me. Im not saying the
E-PL3 is a bad camera, but youve
traded a model housing 10.2 million
pixels on a 23.5x15.7mm-sized sensor
(the Pentax K10D) for a camera
that increases the pixel count to
12.3 million, but also reduces the
size of the sensor to 17.3x13mm
(the Olympus E-PL3). To put it
bluntly, an increased number
of smaller photosites is typically
not going to be conducive to
improved (or even comparable)
image quality, especially if youre
also relying on kit lenses rather
than premium optics.

62

Although upgrading to an OM model


is one possible (albeit expensive) way of
xing this, its not one Id recommend.
Instead, I have a much simpler
suggestion, which I would also have
proposed before you invested in the
E-PL3: buy yourself a camera bag that
will only accommodate your Pentax
K10D and two lenses, or even the
camera and one lens if you prefer.
While the body-only weight of the
K10D is some 400g more than the
E-PL3, from the sound of it I think it
was all your lenses that were weighing
you down. I know from experience
that its easy to fall into the trap of
thinking that you need to take every
lens with you every time you leave the
house However, while this might mean
you are prepared for almost every
photographic opportunity, you also
end up with a bag you can barely lift.
So my advice is simple: choose one
or two lenses or focal lengths each
time you head out. Although this might
feel limiting, it can also be liberating, as
it encourages you to actively seek out
different viewpoints, think about what
youre trying to achieve and use your
legs to nd your shots. There may be
one or two spectacular shots that you
miss along the way because you dont
have the right lens, but is that really the
end of the world if it means you can
carry on enjoying your lifelong hobby
and getting the quality results you are
after? I would say not.

The Pentax K10D


may be heavy, but
the image quality
is spot on

Im sure what you have would


be of interest to someone,
somewhere, but putting a denitive
value on it is very difcult. In isolation, Canon
T90 models are commonplace, although
the price varies dramatically: theyve sold
for as little as 25 for a body and 50mm
f/1.8 lens in online auctions, or as much as
125 for the same combination in a similar
condition. The Data Memory Back 90 is less
commonly seen, but it can still be had for
around 30 indeed, in February of this
year, a T90, complete with a Data Memory
Back 90, sold for just under e70 (around
55) on eBay. In total, 30 bids were made,
so there was certainly interest in the item,
but the market ultimately dictated its nal
value. Its a similar story with your MSX
computers: you dont say what model they
are, but Canon V-20s have sold for as little
as 25 and as much as 70, for example.
So, if you sold your camera and computers
individually, you could possibly expect to
make 100-200-plus.
However, the one item that I have had no
luck in tracking down is the Interface Unit
DMB that links these things together. For
me, that has the potential to make this a
far more interesting proposition. While the
camera, back and associated computers
are fairly easy to come by, the piece that
links them together is not. Indeed, even
nding a picture online of one is quite tricky,
but I did stumble across the website www.
mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/
classics/canont90/htmls/interface.htm,
which shows a T90 with a Data Memory
Back 90 connected to a Canon V-20 MSX
computer. What is most telling is that the
accompanying text states, It took me 12
years to nd one of those interfaces (the
Interface Unit DMB), which gives you an idea
of just how scarce this item appears to be.
How this apparent rarity translates into
pounds and pence is a tricky one, though.
The hardcore Canon collector market could
potentially dig deep for such an uncommon
item, and if you had several interested
parties bidding for it at auction the price
could rise quite quickly, especially if you
were willing to ship worldwide. On the other
hand, you can have the rarest commodity
on the planet, but if nobody wants it then
its worth nothing.
I would welcome suggestions from AP
readers as to a value, but one way of nding
out what your kit is worth (or at least what
people would pay) might be to list your
items as a single lot on eBay, making sure

AP GLOSSARY

Digital diseases 2
It is worth noting that Windows operating
systems are most prone to malware,
followed by Apple Macs and then Linux
operating systems. This has less to do
with any weakness in Windows and
more to do with an economy of scale:
there are far more Windows users in
the world than Mac and Linux users,
meaning Windows malware is potentially
more lucrative and wide-ranging.

SPYWARE Spyware is fairly selfexplanatory its malware designed to


spy on you. Once it has got into your
computer system, spyware gathers
information from your computer that is
sent elsewhere. The types of spyware
vary: at one end of the spectrum is
spyware that keeps track of the websites
you visit to allow pop-up adverts to be
you opt for international site visibility. Set
a deliberately high reserve price to avoid
giving your items away (maybe 600-plus
for the lot), enable the best offer option
and then see what happens. The aim isnt
necessarily to sell the items (hence setting
an inated reserve price), but to get a
genuine indication of what the market is
willing to pay. It is then up to you whether
or not you want to accept the highest offer
(assuming your reserve isnt met).
Be warned, though, as it will cost you
a small amount to list your equipment
expect to pay around 20 to get the auction
up and running with a 600 reserve. There
would also be the usual selling fees at the
end of the auction if the item sells.

LENS RECOMMENDATION

I have recently received


as a present a Canon
EOS 1100D with a
FROM THE standard lens. I have used this a
FORUM little, but I think I need a telephoto
lens as I want to try getting some
wildlife shots. My partner has offered to buy
me one for my birthday, but which one do I
need? It will be a second-hand lens, as I am
just starting out and dont want to spend too
much money on it. Can anyone recommend
a lens that costs around 100?
ste_m

AP Forum, theres one lens

better targeted at you, while at the other


end of the scale is spyware that records
keystrokes, which can include your online
banking login details and passwords. The
former is more irritating than anything
else, while the latter is clearly dangerous.

TROJAN HORSE A Trojan horse


is a type of malware that is usually
downloaded and installed willingly by
the victim, who is duped into thinking its
something useful (just as its namesake
was willingly dragged into Troy). Unlike a
virus, a Trojan horse isnt self-replicating,
but it is just as nasty. This is because
Trojan horses often create what is known
as a backdoor, which is a means of
allowing someone to gain full access to
the host computer (and all its passwords)
without the owners permission.
buy: the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6
IS. This lens effectively takes over from
the 18-55mm kit lens in terms of focal
length (giving you a seamless range of 18250mm with just two lenses), while offering
a similar build quality and performance. On
your EOS 1100D, the focal length would
be equivalent to 88-400mm, which is ideal
for recording all kinds of wildlife subjects,
both near and far.
A common alternative, at a near-identical
price, is Canons EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6
III, which is often seen as the second lens
in a twin-lens kit. However, although it
would increase the maximum focal length
to a 480mm equivalent on your EOS
1100D, the lack of Image Stabilisation (IS)
means camera shake is likely to be more
a problem. More importantly, the lens is a
much older design that dates back to the
early 1990s. As such, its performance is
not quite as good on
digital cameras as
the designed
for digital
55-250mm
EF-S lens.

The nal frame *Nsync Photo Fan Pack

Editorial

A COLLECTORS
LIFE FOR ME

When Tony Kemplen resolved to use a different film camera


each week, he discovered a treasure trove of lost gems

a large chunk off its value. That didnt seem to be


the case. I did ascertain that it was produced for the
bands 2001 PopOdyssey tour, and that the idea was
that thousands of fans would re their cameras as the
band appeared on stage, creating a mass paparazzi
look. The effect from the stage may have been
impressive, but I fear the amateur paps would have
been disappointed with their photos, given that the
built-in ash wouldnt cover anything more than a few
feet away. However, at least they were guaranteed to
have a nice set of pictures of the boys at the bottom of
each blank photo!
It was going to be a challenge to nd subjects that
would do justice to this star-struck camera. Good
daylight is a must for these simple single-use models,
and with the ageing lm likely to be losing its sensitivity,
I seized the opportunity to take it with me on a sunny
summers day visit to Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire.
Normally, with a single-use camera, you hand over
the device and never see it again, which might have
been a wrench for the young fans. I had
no such worries, as I develop my
own lms, and simply opened
it up in a changing bag
before loading the lm
into my developing
tank. Examining the
cameras entrails, I was able
to conrm my assumption
that this is a standard
disposable camera with a thin
strip of black plastic covering
one edge of the image area,
protecting the pre-exposed border
from being overwritten.
Ironbridge may well be a
UNESCO World Heritage Site, but
for me it will forever be linked with
a youthful Justin Timberlake and his
mates. It was a bit of fun, but I wont be
buying any more *Nsync memorabilia.
This I promise you. AP

IVE SEEN some weird and wonderful novelty


cameras in my time, but this one really takes
the biscuit. When I spotted it, still in its sealed
packaging, languishing in a box of junk at a church
jumble sale, it took me a few minutes to take in the
full horror of what I had found.
Common sense and decency told me to put it
down and step away, but looking up at the waterdamaged ceiling of the parish rooms, I could see
that the church roof fund needed all it could get. Out
came my 1.50, before I hastily stuffed the camera
in my bag so no one would see my folly.
I hadnt heard of the boy band *Nsync before. They
must have been popular, because this camera would
ensure that each and every photo on the lm had all
ve pop stars emblazoned along the bottom edge.
This meant that even while looking at your holiday
snaps, you never had to lose sight of your heroes.
At the heart of this Photo Fan Pack is a simple
pre-loaded 35mm camera of the single-use type.
The outer layer is adorned with graphics relating to
the band, while inside I suspected there must be
some kind of mask at the lm plane, to shield the
pre-exposed strip of cool borders, as the packaging
describes them. You also get a backstage pass for the
2001 tour, complete with a bespoke lanyard.
Having furtively stashed away my illicit piece of
boy-band memorabilia, I almost forgot about its
existence. But a rummage through my boxes of junk
cameras brought it back to the surface, and noting
that the lm expired in 2001, I decided it was time to
give it a go. Before opening the still-sealed packaging,
I thought Id better have a quick Google in case this
was a priceless collectable and I was about to knock
