Hyperion wrist strap

A few weeks ago I’ve reviewed Hyperion Camera Neck Strap – now I got a similar, but shorter, wrist strap from Hyperion. Well, different colour but all the same feeling, quality and plush.

Manfrotto Pixi and Pixi Evo

Roughly one year ago Manfrotto has launched the Pixi Evo, a miniature lightweight tripod with two-section legs and five adjustable steps. The Pixi Evo represents a design update over the original Pixi mini tripod, and is designed, in part, to support entry-level DSLRs with large lenses. I got mine from Hi-tech Wonder in Lisbon. Maximum load capacityContinue a ler “Manfrotto Pixi and Pixi Evo”

Coordame “Mar Flat” wrist strap

Hand made in Portugal by Coordame, this is one of the finest wrist straps I’ve ever tried. It will have a place of its own alongside my X-E2s, replacing an industrial made, characterless, Joby. Made of 8mm flat hollow cord – it naturally assumes a 13mm flat form factor, it is extremely lightweight and anti-perspirantContinue a ler “Coordame “Mar Flat” wrist strap”

From Inside Out to Dão DOC

The development of a signature in photography, a unique language that ties everything together within the frame is an extremely difficult exercise – many fail in due course, the majority never tries. In 2014 I’ve published Inside Out, my attempt to create and develop my own signature; I have done so by carefully choosing theContinue a ler “From Inside Out to Dão DOC”

Shortcutz Viseu #80

Ontem assistimos a três curtas de exceção no Carmo 81, edição 80 do Shortcutz Viseu. Pelo meio e quase a brincar, sem me levantar para não incomodar quem assistia, fiz uns retratos informais do que por lá se passou, com a Fujifilm X-E2s e a Fujinon 18mm f2; todas as imagens a 6400 ISO, conversão emContinue a ler “Shortcutz Viseu #80”
