I have recently taken the Olympus uTough 8010 for an in-depth review session… Well… not really a review session, more like a month of intense use in Turkey. We needed a camera that can take the knocks of traveling AND fit in your pocket AND take good pics AND survive my 20month old baby boy's first attempts at photography. We also needed something that can be our companion camera that actually takes decent pictures while traveling because there are some instances where you just don't want to take out the big cameras or have time to (or are allowed to). There are plenty of cameras out there that fit that description pretty well, but one of them failed in the first "waterdunk" test… so I was not very positive when starting out…
With the new features, it’s never been so easy to keep track of the latest tricks on the half-pipe or a climb to the mountain top. Waterproof to up to 10m, shockproof to falls of up to 2m and freezeproof down to as low as -10°C, the µ TOUGH-8010 and µ TOUGH-6020 have a range of new functions to help you capture the excitement.
PRETORIA, South Africa - July 1, 2010 - Outdoorphoto, as a community website, was born in 2004 and since its inception it has shown tremendous growth. With over 18 000 registered members it’s a clear indication of the huge interest in photography. Although Outdoorphoto is also a photographic outlet we have spent many hours and resources on driving the community website. We believe there is a massive need to provide a platform where like-minded people can share, inspire and support one another.
Recently we had the opportunity to play around with the new Profoto D1 lights at Outdoorphoto. When I say "play around", I actually mean we quite pushed the lights to see where we can make them fail!
For many years I was never really excited about black and white wildlife photography. For me it didn’t make sense to subtract colour from the multi-coloured world for it didn’t seem to improve the image. There were some black and white nature books that I really enjoyed, but as a rule I was never attracted to, or even wanted to page through, monochrome books in the bookshops. They all seemed a bit inferior to the brilliant colourful wildlife books out there.
