Pergear 50mm F1.4 MF Full Frame
This lens made me a little bit sentimental for my old Minolta camera and Rokkor lenses. It's a great lens for any one wanting to experiment with fast primes on a budget. Manual focus and full frame 50mm F1.4 from Pergear for mirrorless Canon, Nikon, Sony and Leica L-mount. 
Viltrox 28mm F4.5 CHIP for L-Mount
The fascinating and quirky Viltrox 28mm F2.5 CHIP has now been released for L-mount. This is a super small lens that pairs well with super small camera bodies such as the Lumix S9 and Sigma BF. 
Photography Is Not About Cameras
I made a video this month especially for beginners who are looking for guidance as they find their way onto a path to learning photography. We're not talking cameras, and that's kind of the point. 
Tamron 12-20mm F2.8 for Sony and Nikon
I love this lens. Full frame and fully wide, this lens is sharp and straight and bright and just a wonderful bit of design. Tamron are doing really good things in the zoom space these days. 
Nikon ZR Custom Setup for Stills Photography
This camera might have been built for cinema, but it's packed with credentials for stills photography as well. I walk through my custom setup for stills on the Nikon ZR here, plus a link to download and apply to your ZR too. 
AF 50mm F1.8 Neo from TT Artisan
TT Artisan have made an amazingly affordable lens for mirrorless full frame cameras that opens the door to experimenting with fast primes on a budget. This lens is available for Sony, Nikon and Leica mounts. 
Ewen's Bell Curve
My simple secrets to editing RAW photos that can help any photographer improve their skills. In my new video I walk through examples of how I do my processing, editing and grading, and help guide you towards finding your own style. 
Full Frame 40mm F2 AF
Two weeks ago I set off on my journey across Nepal with this marvellous little lens. It's the 40mm F2 AF from TT Artisan and I'm really looking forward to sharing with you some of those photos, and also sharing my thoughts on why I think this is an absolutely stellar lens. 
SIGMA 60-600mm Field Review
I spent a few weeks in The Outback with the new SIGMA 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS SPORT L-Mount. The name is a mouthful, and the lens is a handful. This super telephoto represents the latest in AF and OS technology from Sigma, packaged into a superbly flexible and optically impressive full-frame wildlife lens. Available for both L-Mount and E-Mount. 
Build A Better Time-Lapse
Deep dive into elevating your time-lapse technique from janky to swanky. Super smooth and super lovely. I spent all winter chasing the motion around Melbourne and found a few keys that made all the difference. 
Auroras Dont Come Easy
Part of the charm of the Northern Lights is the very fact that they are not easy to capture. Hard enough to plan your travels to be at the right place at the right time, and even then you're often at the limits of your camera gear and your clothing. 
Getting Out of Struggle Town
Even professionals get stuck in a rut sometimes, but with the benefit of a little inspiration we often find our way out again. On my latest journey through Nepal I found an old tool that helped me see things in a new way. 
Be Positive About Negative Space
Negative Space is not empty space. It's there for a reason and it can help you find a path to better composition and more intentional composition. 
LUMIX G9II for Birds
Lets walk through a host of features built into LUMIX G9II that might help you to take better bird photos. We'll go through burst modes, pre-shutters, autofocus setups, and a few extra treats. There’s even a downloadable camera setup to help you get started and use the same settings that I have. 
Birds Are Hard
Bird photography is hard because birds don't like humans most of the time. This is not so much a technical challenge, but one of finding your path to connect with nature. Let's delve into the art of walking around park and being snubbed by the birds. 
Sigma 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN ART
I’ve had a chance to shoot with the new Sigma 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN Art over recent weeks, and explore the light and shadows on Melbourne's streets. This is not a one-size-fits-all lens, but a very professional mid-range zoom that delivers a bright and contrasty image. 
Custom Setup for the LUMIX S9
Download my custom setup for the LUMIX S9, along with a very full range of custom configurations directly available through the mode dial. Updated in 2026 for Firmware V2.0 and up. 
What Did We Learn From An Aurora Storm
Once in twenty year event rocked the planet this week, creating a moment of opportunity to get out and capture auroras that would normally be out of reach. And for regular aurora chasers a chance to share the joy with a lot more of the planet than usual.
