Lovely images. And well done for using that much maligned Panasonic kit lens. I use it on my Olympus micro four thirds cameras and it gives me great results. And your pics - from a 10MP camera - are excellent. Great video. Thank you.
I started printing my photos since I started digital photography over 16 years ago, today I am on my third printer, a Canon Pixma Pro 200, my last printer was a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MKII. For some one that wants to start printing their own work the Canon Pixma Pro 200 will more than enough. During my many years of film photography, I never printed my own work, I had Kodak process my film. The results with digital photography has been a game changer. I had no formal photography education but over the years I was able to photograph a wide variety of subjects and got involved in event photography for over 8 years. I photographed Memorial day events, weddings, Baptisms, family photos and portraits, birthdays and a motorcycle club photo shoot, then one thing that digital photography did was now i could edit my own work and also print my own work. When you print at home, you have greater control of the final product and the variety of photography paper makes it easy to create your own art work to frame. Buying frames online makes it easy to get custom sizes with a variety of frame colors and styles, matted or un-matted.
Hi Leigh, Good video i agree with you that older cameras still work well. I myself still use a Olympus Stylus 1s as a camera on the go. It’s a capable camera with fine results. I print them on a CANON printer A4 and A3 size the results are great. Note that I use DXO-3 for noise reduction when needed, this makes older models very useable even today. Regards Ton
Inspiring shots! I have a Lumix GF1 with a 20mm f.7 lens that I use for my EDC. Also 12 megapixels. I wish it had an EVF. I tend to print to 10” X 13” or 12” X 16” sometimes 20” X 26”. You can set up four 10” X 13” prints in photoshop to print on a 20” X 26” sheet to save money per print at a service. Print more pixel peep less.
Great photos, Leigh! You're definitely right about printing. My favorite prints are from an over 10 year old Lumix FZ70. I have a 26x30 print I still have hanging.
I'm definitely going to be doing a lot more printing in the coming year I think - especially if the conditions we keep getting thrown give the sort of shots I've been getting lately!
Nice, real-world video. Good on you for taking a battering - that bizarre water-spoutish thing should be well worth the discomfort. Best wishes from NZ.
Nice shots there, OM1 owner here, favourite camera to use however is an old Olympus E3 with a 14- 54 2.8 - 3.5 on it i picked up for 120 quid, occasionally print A3 but mostly A4 and post on social media, a 50 mega and full frame would be a waste unless i wanted to zoom into 100 percent to look at sharpness instead of looking at the photo as a whole
Thank you! There's a lot to be said for these older cameras and the only reason for having those higher megapixels is like you say - to be able to crop in!
And definitely not going to see a difference if they were taken with the latest Hasselblad - megapixels are for showing off, not for getting great shots 😁
Hi Leigh what a nice positive video, with very beautiful images 👏. I am curious whether you can also print these images in A2 format without losing detail and quality. anyway nice photos. England has a lot of beautiful nature. Nice music to ❤ Kind regards from the Netherlands
Inexpensive cameras are not cheap to everyone! but you certainly proved a valid point that you need not spend a fortune on a camera..... Thank you that was most interesting...
The price of gear is not directly correlated to the enjoyment to be had from photography, and nor does it determine print quality (or the merit of your photographs).

Thank you Mick!
Lovely photos that dispel the myth that we all need 60 mega pixels and full frame. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Gez! If only more people would realise!

It really does open up so much doesn't it?

Absolutely! Some of the results you can get are astonishing!
Inspiring shots!

Thank you! And that's some very wise words too! Absolutely nobody needs to pixel peep - if it looks good enough zoomed out, it'll look great printed!
Great photos, Leigh! You're definitely right about printing. My favorite prints are from an over 10 year old Lumix FZ70. I have a 26x30 print I still have hanging.

Great video Leigh beautifully put together very impressed with the images keep up the good work 😍
Thank you John! 😊
Cracking shots Leigh. Thank you.

Fantastic images, really love these! Well done, really enjoyed your video!
Thank you David!
Excellent video.
Thank you 😊

Thank you! 😊
Really cool photographs, 😎
Thank you Paul!
Great job 👏 👏👏
Thank you Stuart! 👍
Fantastic location and wonderful photos. I also love the music at the end of the video, what was the track please?
Thank you! The music is "The world goes by" by Houses on the Hill 😊

I have a wall fill of A3 images I have printed off my Canon Pro 1000 taken with the 16mp sensor on the EM5 mk2, and they are stunning.
And definitely not going to see a difference if they were taken with the latest Hasselblad - megapixels are for showing off, not for getting great shots 😁

Thank you! I'm fairly certain you could get these up to A2 without any trouble.
Definitely a very extreme experience that day though!
Inexpensive cameras are not cheap to everyone! but you certainly proved a valid point that you need not spend a fortune on a camera..... Thank you that was most interesting...
Thank you Des! Definitely not a requirement to pay thousands to get the biggest sieve sheet to get great results!
If I close my eyes, I hear Michael Caine
I'll take that as a compliment 😁
People print photos from smart phones and they have smaller sensor than a 4/3 camera.
Indeed they do, but most camera manufacturers would have you believe it's impossible without their latest super-megapixel beast they've released!
Decent yes, but some people want to pay more to get gear that is enjoyable to use and better print quality
But if you're on a tight budget or just getting going it's a great option 👍

@luzr6613 absolutely!
