This photo is straight out of the camera that still manages to blow my mind – the Fujifilm X-Pro 1
I waited until a cars headlights lit the wall before I hit the shutter. Photographed in Fremantle, Western Australia
I have only added a hint of sharpness and a slight vignette. Enjoy.
Considering I was shaking when I photographed this image Photoshop still managed to minimise the blur. After editing this photo in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop I am happy with the result. I think the slight blur adds to the grunge of the image. It just goes to show that not every photograph needs to be pin sharp. So my conclusion is….if you want soft photographs DON’T get the Fujifilm X-Pro 1. The photos produced from this camera are pin sharp and amazing!
I will be unboxing the new Fujifilm X-Pro 1 LIVE on a google+ hangout on Saturday night at 8pm (UTC/GMT Offset +8) !!!!! Come and join me
You will now be able to watch this hangout LIVE around the world directly on my YouTube Channel. I will share the link during the hangout via my various social networks.

Well Canon have lifted the lid on another fantastic camera. If you are into video then this camera is for you. The “C” in the name is a bold statement from Canon branding the camera as a creative camera.
From what I have read the Canon EOS 1D C shares almost the same features as the identically looking Canon EOS 1D X camera. The internal build and circuitry of the newer camera handles the output temperature of the never seen before (in this size camera) amazing 4K (4,096 x 2,160) video ability. In simpler terms AWESOME FULL HD VIDEO QUALITY. The camera also has some features similar to the Canon C300 with the ability to capture a wide dynamic range and exposure latitude.
I would love to get my hands on one of these. Just imagine what the output quality would be like on the Full Frame 18 Megapixel CMOS sensor would be like! In my opinion this camera would be perfect for the cinema, media, documentary and wildlife industries due to the ability to use the new range of Cine lenses. The camera still boasts 12 frames per second and also has the ability to capture high res still images while shooting video. Canon have done well to expand the range of cine products before the other “yellow” brand. Now it is just going to be a waiting game until this camera ships late in the year from the pristine Canon factories in Japan.
For a more detailed view of this camera visit Canon’s website or check out the release news on dpreview.
For me this camera is big, black and beautiful. I can’t wait to get my hands on one.
Please Canon can you make one??? Fujifilm and Olympus did….now it is your turn!
The very talented David Riesenberg put this together. Great work David.
Let me start by saying this really isn’t a review on the Olympus E-P3….just a whole lot of messing around trying to be creative.
I didn’t want to list the features in point form so I put a little video together for you all to have a look at. Sorry for the delay but I have been extremely busy…does anyone want a PA job????
The Olympus also features 10 Art Filters: Diorama, Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale & Light Color, Light Tone, Grainy Film, Pin Hole, Cross Process, Gentle Sepia and Dramatic Tone.

CameraED photography tutorials is a creative branch of Leigh Diprose Photography.
The header “CameraED” will be found on my new site which will combine the following sites: Leigh Diprose Photography, Leigh Diprose Photography Blog, BridesPerth and CameraED. Also I will be planning to have a dedicated area on the site for my Fine Art Photography which will be available to download for FREE!
I am planning to use CameraED to create some style and reviews in the photographic world. I have a stack of plans and goals to achieve this year and I look forward to sharing my ideas and thoughts with you all. The total project will be a slow start due to some major changes in my life however once the new site is live later on this year there will be an opportunity to contribute photographs, stories and reviews from approved contributors. The contributors to the new site will be from the following social media platforms; Google+, WordPress and Facebook (as a start – more to follow).
If you would be interested in being involved with this project please drop me an email at leighdiprosephotography@yahoo.com.au with the Subject Title “CameraED Contribute”
As a sort of soft launch for CameraED I have put together a clip on the new Olympus OM-D.
I will have my review on the Olympus E-P3 up later in the week. I simply ran out of time.
Enjoy.
Well what can I say….the new Nikon D800 seems to be the pick of the bunch – and yes I was right! Announced on the blog before dpreview or Nikon!
For the full review I would recommend checking out dpreview here. These guys are good at what they do. I don’t want to steal their thunder! (In other words….I’m really tired and I need to go to bed!)
I have just been told that the new Nikon D800 should be released later today. Being a Canon shooter I am also hoping that Canon will be releasing a medium format camera in the next couple of days. Please note that this is purely speculation.
These days ads can take us on a ride and fool even the smartest adult.
Take a look at this example I noticed at work today. Robbie Williams is holding a BLACK Nikon Coolpix camera to take a photo of the crowd in the Nikon “I AM” commercial…..
Now take a look at the real video. He is actually using a SILVER camera not a BLACK camera. Fooled? Should we even believe that this is a Nikon Camera? Did this ad make you want to go out and buy a stylish Nikon Coolpix? Let me know what you think by posting a comment on the blog.
My Prediction: This camera is going to be the next big thing! I can’t wait to get my hands on this 31MP Full Frame CMOS camera! As I stated in one of my previous posts this new system is the future of photography.
Let me know what you think.
The quality of the video on the new Nikon D4 is breathtaking to watch. Frame rates on this camera range from 60, 50, 30, 25, and 24 (approx). High and normal quality can be selected across all video options which means even slowmotion looks amazing!
Why is the video so good? Check out this video that was filmed on the Nikon D4. It explains itself!
COULD this change me forever? The colour red be no longer? Will I be seeing yellow from now on?
All I can say is just wait….Canon WILL be bringing something bigger and better shortly!
The Mac setup is complete! NASA control ready to launch at Leigh Diprose Photography.
I have successfully switched from PC to Mac. HOORAY!
Two independent screens working off the macbook PRO – 2x 27″ screens and MacBook Pro Screen making a total of three calibrated screens, WD 8 TB HDs worth of space (1, 1, 2 & 4TBs), Ipad 2, Iphone, HD Webcam, THX Speaker setup and one well worked HP laptop that is now unplugged for good!
Thinking I might need another usb hub! 10 full slots and counting.
So from all this expect more video tutorials, photo editing, images and everything else to do with photography.
The time has flown by since I promised you all some amazing content. I didn’t expect that changing from PC to Mac would take so long. I was wrong.
My computer setup has been delayed due to monitor, software and computer issues. Hopefully by tomorrow morning everything should be sorted.
Thank you for all putting up with the change over. A Photoshop tutorial will be up tomorrow afternoon for you all to see, learn and share.
Until then.
Happy shooting!
