Format Festival is on. And it’s on in Derby!

From the wall of pics bemusing passers-by in the Westfield to the Market Place to the exhibitions in Quad itself, the city is being draped in photography.

So I went and took pics of the pics. 🙂

I’ve been walking round a lot on my own lately, my only companions being my GF2 camera.

The sun is showing itself, finally. Its warmth makes the cracks in the pavements come alive, makes every rough, crumbly brick look delicious.

Even though I’ve been wandering around Derby for decades, I always see something new when I’m out.

I’m loving my GF2. My poor 5D mk2 is feeling neglected at the mo, as the GF2 is always out and about with me, a little mate.

But…

I’ve got craploads of Canon lenses. Wouldn’t it be good if I can use them on my new pal? Well, thanks to Fotodiox, I can. I bought their M4/3 to Canon adaptor and then created the monster you see in the snap above.

Okay, I’ll admit, putting any Canon lens on the GF2 totally defeats the point of the micro 4/3 system. I’ve taken the tiny GF2 and basically stuck an aircraft carrier on the front of it. But it’s fun! And here are the results:

I think sticking a lovely lens on the GF2 really shows what the little beast is capable of. I’ll be experimenting further. 🙂
