The photos of our year

Although you might know all of us here more by our words than by our photos, we are all photographers and we wield our cameras with overwhelming levels of enthusiasm. This of course produces prodigious quantities of pictures. You might get to see some of them alongside our articles, but we don’ [...]

Merry Christmas!

We’re going to be taking a few days’ break over the festive season. All our opinionated ranting takes it toll! We’ll be back in the New Year ready to rock and roll again. Until then, everyone at Small Aperture would like to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, and pea [...]

So you call yourself a photographer?

If someone asks you if you’re a photographer, what do you say? ‘Yes, I’m a photographer.’ Or ‘No, I take pictures, but I’m not a photographer.’ It’s something that’s been playing on my mind recently, and something that I’ve been debating ba [...]

Olympus E-5 reviews round-up

When Olympus announced its E-5 flagship dSLR in September, I was decidedly lukewarm about the spec on paper. To be perfectly honest, for a top-end camera, I was expecting an awful lot more for £1,500 than rugged durability. At least some sparkle, some pizazz. It’s been a few months now and th [...]

The iPhone camera translator

You’ve been hearing this for years, but by now, I think it’s definitely safe to say that the iPhone has truly changed the way we do things. From geo-tagging photos taken with your DSLR to increasing environmental awareness, the iPhone seems to do it all. And now, you can go ahead and thr [...]

Looking at composition

People have been obsessing over composition – and the theory and maths behind it – for thousands of years. Pythagoras discussed it, Ancient Greek architects used it, and Fibonacci sequenced it. But what does it actually mean for you and me when we take a photograph? Essentially, the r [...]

3D - not for me

Unless you’ve been living beneath a rock – which I really hope you haven’t been because it seems a bit cold and uncomfortable to me – or on a mission to outer space (you got awesome pictures, didn’t you?), you can’t have failed to notice that Disney’s latest [...]

Protest photography

I kinda missed out on the whole student protest thing when I was at university. The skirmish around the loss of grants had already been lost, round one in the tuition fees bout went to the Government before my time, and the Iraq war was yet to come. What was left? Better rights for water voles on a [...]
