It just happened that all the past "weekly snaps" have featured photos linked by some sort of thread or connection. But my original idea was to collect random shots as I wrote at the beginning.

So today I was resolved in finding a few shots that I liked, with nothing …

June 2012, my wife Giulia is 7 months pregnant and we're having our last holiday together, before the baby comes and wipes clean our current life¹.

We drive our van to Elba, a beatiful island off the coast of Tuscany, just before the hoards of tourists take over the …

Somewhere, behind the sad story of Lance Armstrong and his team mates doing EPO and other shit to dominate professional cycling, lies the reason behind my personal preference of a certain kind of sport.

Ask a MotoGP rider do drugs; or a mountain biker doing an downhill or enduro race …

I wrote something about this little iPad a while ago, and on reading again that piece I find that it still represent my thoughts today. Yesterday Apple held the official announcement and among other cool things¹ there was the iPad mini.

I'm disappointed by two things; first is the …

I have been doing some experiments with this "stitching-bokeh" method; a neat idea to get the look of a medium-format camera but it takes too much computer work to get a good result; this is one of my attempts, definetely not as flashy as Brenizer's, and I am pretty sure …

Si tratta probabilmente dell'unica mostra a cui vado volentieri. È a Milano fino al 18 dicembre, ed è scontato consigliarlo a tutti gli appassionati di fotografia.

Rispetto all'edizione del 2009 che vidi a Londra, le foto qui sono stampate e non visualizzate su pannelli LCD retroilluminati; all'epoca mi colpì molto …

Qualche tempo fa cercavo uno sfogo per la mia fotografia. L'ho trovato pubblicando i miei weekly snaps; collezioni atematiche di fotografie scattate in diverse condizioni temporali, geografiche ed emozionali. O, evitando il pretenzioso vocabolario da pseudo artista e usando parole più terra terra, raccolta di foto prese un po' a …

Simili ma non uguali. Questo è quello che tiravamo fuori io e Dylan bighellonando per Berkeley un paio di settimane fa.

Dylan ed io abbiamo lavorato assieme per quattro anni a Londra, e siamo diventati amici. Siamo rientrati in Italia quasi contemporaneamente ma io a Milano, lui a Trento. E …

It might be quirky and it might be cool but I would argue this is something which should not appeal to anybody apart from facebook photographers.

I'm talking about the 15mm Olympus body c(r)ap lens.

The reasons are two:

1. judging from the shots which you can see here …

Special edition today, featuring only iPhone photos.

Qualche giorno fa Valentina ha compiuto due mesi, e oggi ha fatto la sua prima escursione in montagna.

Saliamo sul Monte Canto io, Giulia, Valentina e la bici; io ho dietro uno zaino con focaccia, acqua, brugole e una camera d'aria; davanti un marsupio con la bambina; la bici la …

Random photos this time. Some are very old, and I can't even recall which lens I used. The last two are reminders that today was Giulia's birthday (and this year there was nothing really which could compete with that special gift we're enjoying together since the 4th of August).

It's almost a year now that I have the Nikon D7000. It's time to write something up about this camera.

I arrived at the Nikon D7000 after a long apprenticeship. I started with a Yashica FX-3 and its 50mm f/1.8, then I moved to a Nikon F70 (we're still in the ancient film era). After a few crappy compact digital cameras (and one less crappy than others, the Canon G5) I got my first DSLR (a Nikon D70s) which was excellent until it broke down.

Since I was always traveling and hiking and biking I wanted a smaller camera so I bought a Panasonic GF-1 that I still have (and will keep for many more years to come; it's still much better than any compact camera and only marginally larger).

Click and Drag, the amazing xkcd cartoon that went online a few days ago, was fascinating and threw me back to the worlds I used to explore when I was a kid (through videogames obviously).

I selected a few places and made 1920x1080 captures to use as wallpapers for my …

I did a few experiments with the camera over the past two weekends. Thought to share a few pictures here, even if they are not particularly inspired shots. But if you're trying to find how damn good is the D7000 sensor, just look at the green tomato shot.

All shots …
