Early Spring
Technical Notes: Finally lugged the heavy Mola and Speedlight combo outside for a shoot. All primes for this one, (50mm, 85mm, and 105mm) which I actually prefer to zoom lenses. I guess you can consider the 35mm equivalent on the X100 as a prime. It is still early in February, but glad to see some...

Notes: Some real behind the scenes of my photo shoots, which to be honest have always basically been field trips to remind people of the simplicities of life, and how to carry oneself in this crazy world of online noise, self promotion and sugar coated society of no substance…or something like that.

The final bracket will be a twin speedlight setup. I...

Notes: Just revisiting some of the Oakland Cemetery photos from the other week.

For this particular situation I noticed the light hitting the flowers...
