As soon “as my ship comes in,” one of the cameras on my bucket list is the full-frame Panasonic Lumix S5 Mark II. But I’m going to need some lenses too.

While most newer DSLRs and mirrorless cameras do a much better job of handling noise, especially at high ISO settings, than previous versions of the same camera, for all the reason above, it’s not going away anytime soon.

During the later 19th and early 20th centuries, Pictorialism was an aesthetic movement that dominated photography. There’s no standard definition of the term but in general it refers to a style where the photographer has manipulated what would otherwise be a straightforward photograph as a means of creating an image rather than merely recording one.

“Black and white photography is truly quite a ‘departure from reality’, and the transition from one aspect of visual magic to another was not as complete as many imagine.” —Ansel Adams
