Traveling in Switzerland
I'm pretty new here, but if all goes well this will be a bunch of photos taken during a two week trip to the Berner Oberland in September. My camera is a E-m5 (1), and the large majority of photos were taken with a Lumix 12-35/2.8, and a few with my Oly 60/2.8. I think I took one or two of these with a legacy OM-100/2.8. I also took along a Lumix 20/1.7 for interior shots, and an Oly 45/1.8, but they were only used a few times. I could have easily gotten by with the 12-35 and the 60.

The Creepy Doll Head Thread
I went out a few weekends ago on a vintage/antique photowalk. Denver has a great stretch of road affectionately referred to as "Antique Row," where you can find antiques to quench any vintage thirst. I was hoping to find some film cameras, but alas, there were none to be found.
That's not to say that my outing was unsuccessful. I did come across a unique decor item crafted solely of antique, creepy doll heads. Which I photographed with great glee. As if they aren't creepy enough, I went for some post processing that really upped the nightmare factor.86Apr 18, 2017 -
Happy Halloween! -Cosplayer Photography
This was a bit of fun. Something to prove I don’t just “work” and I have a real life outside the studio, or something like that. A horror cosplay shoot organised by the wonderful Hazel Riddle, friend, photographer and a general tormentor.
I wanted to keep the original dark theme of the movie within the image, which is straightforward in a studio environment. Just shoot at a low ISO and a high shutter speed. Job’s a good’un.
A very simple three light setup with two accent lights either side of the subject and about two feet beyond him. Frame left accent is an Elinchrom ELB400 placed quite high to catch the rim of the hat, firing at an output of 4.0 through a 40cm gridded beauty dish, enhancing the texture and shape of the hat.
Frame right accent is marginally above his ear height, and was designed to give texture and shape to the cheekbone and edge of his eye area, jawline and ear. This was another ELB400 firing through a honeycombed stripbox. (Originally tried another gridded beauty dish, but found the light path a little too restricted).
Keylight was a 70cm gridded beauty dish, immediately to my left and above my head. This was an Elinchrom BRX500Ri with an output of 4.5

This second image has a similar setup, although the frame left accent light was lowered to provide shape and texture across Freddy’s head, and swapped out for another honeycombed stripbox

Final image was a little later the same day, out on location. Driving through town with Freddy sat in the back seat was kinda weird, and disturbed a few passing drivers.
This time it was three ELB400 units. The two accent lights either side are still gridded stripboxes, but the frame left is horizontal to provide accent across a broader depth. The frame right is just out of frame, and gives good shaping...0Mar 1, 2017 -

Hilversum/Holland
Today I went on a bike ride to Hilversum which is about 35km away from my place. As it was a beautiful autumn day I packed my E-M10 + Panasonic 35-100mm f4-5.6. The result is this series of images all shot in Hilversum.

A few days in Sofia, Bulgaria
A few years back, my employer purchased a factory in Sofia - an ex-state owned facility that we have ploughed €150m in to in 10 years. I have to go there a few times a year, sometimes with customers, sometimes for conferences. Since i've rid myself of most of my m43 gear, i bought a Panny 12-32 to couple with my e-m1 as its fits in a jacket pocket
