What you have caught on film is captured forever\u2026 It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.\u201d<br>\u2014&nbsp;<strong>Aaron Siskind<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of years ago I took an interest in photography and picked up a Panasonic Lumix FZ18 bridge camera to try my hand at taking some decent shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I never really took to it because I didn&#8217;t take the time to learn the settings properly, so the camera never really fulfilled its potential unfortunately.  However my interest in photography remained and I have mainly been a smartphone photographer since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I decided the time had come to try once more, and to pick it up a decent camera again to give photography another go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week I picked up an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III mirrorless camera after reading many reviews and settling on a mirrorless over a DSLR.  I had a few reasons for doing this, firstly my partners uncle is a professional photographer and recommended I look at mirrorless cameras, its not something I had even thought about before.  Secondly after reading lots of reviews I could clearly see that the technology had moved forward to mean that mirrorless was no longer inferior to DSLR, and in fact gave just as good results in a smaller package in many circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/jonathandickinson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0576-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonathandickinson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0576-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jonathandickinson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0576-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.jonathandickinson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0576-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jonathandickinson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0576-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This time I have read up on it properly and have started to give it a good go on getting out of auto mode and into manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lets see how it goes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See my instagram feed on the right for some of my latest attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/jonathandickinson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0582-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonathandickinson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0582-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jonathandickinson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0582-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jonathandickinson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0582-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jonathandickinson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0582.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cPhotography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.
