Just in time

It seems the announcement of the new Ricoh Digital GR4 could not be more timely. I have started having focussing issues with my GR3 and although I have reset everything the problem still remains.


So now I am in the market for a New 'Point & Shoot'. Obviously I am Very happy with The GR3, and the GR4 looks like an instant purchase. However until I see some real-world reviews on the camera I will hold off. Slot has happened in the small street camera market and although loyal I would love to get my hands on one for a week or so and see what I can come up with.

So until then my Leica M8 will have to fill the void, it just doesn't fit in my pocket as well.....

About time ...

Sooo long .... and only ONE

West End .. love those sunnies. Unfortunately this was the only image from about 40 which was in focus. Looks like my Ricoh GR3 has an issue and needs a look at. Crap I hate to think what they will charge. I also just sent my 21mm lens to Mainline Cameras in Sydney, the front section of the lens started to have a 2-4 mm movement .. not good. So Now both my Ricoh and Leica are out of action hence the lack of images uploaded.

A Landscape

I thought I would share a Landscape image, not street I know but I felt like uploading something diffrent

Hi all ...

A quick Hi
Hi all,

A few people have written to me asking when I will be posting more street images ? I do apologize for the long time between uploads, however I have been working on another body of work for the last couple of months as well as a joint Zine venture titles 'Lies'. So there has been little time for uploads.

I have still been snapping away while doing my daily thing, so as soon as I get some space I will post-up. I also just grabbed an iPad 2 and realized how crap www.simonjohnsonphotography.com site is ... As in nobody with an iPad or iPhone can view my flash site. I know what your thinking, welcome to the 90's Simon flash is so yesterday HTML5 all the way. So I have been trudging the net looking for other options for a new site which you will be able to view with every device known to man.

Over the last year I have been compiling images which I would like to have in my first book. I plan on releasing a Limited Edition run of 25 copies in hardback (signed) by August this year. it will be a book of black & white images I have taken over the last 3 years while overseas. I will post more information as I get closer to the release date. Suffice to say I will supply all the information for purchasing a signed copy as soon as everything is finalized (it will be released through 'Twin Gums' publishing). The first 25 people to order will get the books, first come first serve so to speak.

O that's the news, I will hopefully have some images up in the next couple of weeks, I just would like to thank everybody who contacts me regarding my work. It is appreciated and feels great to know people like the stuff I do .... cheers

... New Nik Software Silver Efex Pro 2

Well seeing as Nik's Silver Efexs Pro was the best Black & White film plugin around, I had to give their much anticipated update a go. Well the best just got better, an absolute must for anybody serious about converting your digital files to B&W. It's not the only thing I use but I always start with it .. and the way its looking I may just finish with it as well....

Crop or not to crop ? That is the question

Cropping is something I just don't do that often. When I was looking at this image I had to rethink a few things, is it a more powerful image cropped ? tell me what you think which image do you think is stronger out of the three ?
