Mini Run pictures 2012 - London to Brighton Fun Run images from Madeira Drive






I was on Brighton seafront for the London to Brighton Mini Fun Run today.

Managed to get some good shots with the Olympus OM-D E-M5, which is proving to be a very useful, portable camera system with some top notch results.

The last picture of spare exhausts for Minis I have called 'The Italian Job Lot'. I must confess that I had not spotted the green paint on the road where these exhausts were placed until after I had processed the picture.

Then it twigged: green, white, red – the Italian flag, Italian Job film... geddit? Some times you need a little bit of luck to get a different picture.

The rest of my pictures will be on the website (UKpix.com) very soon.

UPDATE: PICTURES NOW READY

Fantastic pictures of Aurora Borealis – by photographer who chases the Northern Lights



 The Mail has some superb pictures by a Norwegian photographer who spends his nights chasing around after the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights.

Tommy Eliassen, of Mo i Rana in Norway, has spent years taking pictures of the natural phenomenon.

They are truly spectacular…

Hotels that do not look like their images in brochures or on websites - picture story


Hotels that do not live up to the promise of their holiday brochures is nothing new. Remember the days when people booked vacations in Spain only to find that their dream destinations were still under construction?

None the less, a revealing series of pictures on the Telegraph website show just how far some hotels will go to paint a pretty picture of themselves...

Nikkor 50mm f1.8 samples gallery posted by dpreview

Dpreview, the digital photography review site, has just posted a samples gallery using the latest Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8.

The inexpensive lens, which will autofocus on numerous Nikon SLR bodies, looks pretty good.

Olympus Pen EP-3: a micro four thirds camera everyone will want?








I have always been a big fan of the Olympus Pen digital... from the very first retro EP-1 camera to the EP-2.

It's a great travel camera and has given me good service, producing some punchy pictures without adding weight to the suitcase when travelling light. And it feels like a proper camera (almost, dare I say, like a film camera).

Now Olympus is to launch the EP-3 (pictured). And first reports suggest that it will be better than ever.

Wired.com is certainly raving about it: CLICK HERE FOR REPORT


OLYMPUS PEN WEBSITE


CLICK HERE FOR MY ORIGINAL THOUGHTS ON THE FIRST PEN: the EP-1 and how to fit numerous lenses, including Leica M, Olympus OM1 and four thirds glass.

Finally, here are recent pictures I took in Snowdonia, Wales, and Rome, Italy, using a Pen EP-2 - they are now on Alamy.

Pictures of Snowdonia, Wales



Finally, some pictures of my trip to Snowdonia last week.

These were taken on a walk to the south west of Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales.

Below is the mountain itself (in the distance on the left). It took me a while waiting around before the peak finally cleared of clouds.

Both were shot with an Olympus Pen 2, a great camera to take walking, being light and compact. And the quality isn't bad, either.

Hope to have some of these pix on Alamy within the next few days.
