Published: 22nd January 2015 by Laurence Norah - 2 Comments

Blog

Towards the end of 2014 I was contacted by Panasonic UK who asked if I’d be interested in trying out one of the mirrorless cameras from their range – the Panasonic Lumix G6 – as a part of their Lumix G The One programme. For those of you not au-fait with a mirrorless camera, it […]

Edinburgh’s Hogmanay is a fantastic three days of fun in Scotland’s capital city, celebrating the end of one year and the start of the New Year. We’ve taken part three times, and loved it every time.
