The Challenge of Light
MFT cameras, or Micro four-thirds refer to the sensor, most people refer to cameras as full frame, cropped as well as medium format and Micro four-thirds.
As the name suggests, the M43, is the smallest of the lot, and reduces the amount of light available for an image, but increases the opportunity for a challenge.

Up Coming Shows
: Alabama 3 - The Concord 2 Brighton
South London’s beloved roots-futurists ALABAMA 3 have announced ‘STEP 13: THE DIVINE INTERVENTION TOUR’ set to take place in Spring 2022.
The group was born at an all-night squat party during the ’90s. Charismatic front man and co-founder Rob Spragg, started singing the lyrics to a Hank Williams song over an acid-house beat. Meanwhile, the other co-founder, the late Jake Black, a diehard Jazz fan, apparently re-joined with some bebop skat stylings. On that unforgettable night, the mutant embryo of the ALABAMA 3 was conceived.
Still adored the world over for 1997’s inaugural smash ‘Woke Up This Morning’, whose marriage of Howlin’ Wolf samples and trip hop beats provided the theme music for long-running HBO series ‘The Sopranos’, Alabama 3 have continued to explore their uniquely British absurdist twist on Americana, riven by post-rave aesthetics, savage socio-political satire, and lowlife narcotic misadventure. After touring 2016’s twelfth A3 studio album, called simply *Blues, which capped off a quarter-century of poly-cultural abuse came a turbulent few year involving the death of legendary songwriter Jake Black, aka The Very Reverend D, and the new normal we all face, the band bounced back with their latest album ‘Step 13’, released September 2021
