Fuji S5 Portraits Revisited

At some point I think modern camera culture will fall in line with car culture.  Folks wanting a different user experience, or just appreciate how something looks.  With cameras I think the best reason why folks should want to collect and use “old” digital cameras is because that’s the only way to get access to […]

L&N Chin Burmese Pre Wedding Shoot

L&N All this happened in one day believe it or not!  Thanks to Lalsi and Ngai for being such great models and willing to walk to get these shots. 😉 The Chin cultural attire is so lovely and I already have ideas for some spring shoots amidst the fruit tree blossoms.

Fujifilm GFX 50S + Nikon 50mm Portraits

Haven’t had a chance to organize my GFX 50S and Nikon 50mm 1.8 ai-s shots into a book format yet, but here are a few shots over the last couple of months that I’ll probably add.  This is definitely a keeper of a combo.  It really does render a medium format film look. This combo […]

Drink and Draw – Distillery of Modern Art – Chamblee, GA October 19, 2023 Thanks to the cosplayers for posing and Momocon for organizing.  I definitely like quiet events like this closer to home.

Fujifilm GFX 50S + Nikon 105mm f/1.4E

With all the buzz around the new Nikon Z 135mm f/1.8 Plena, I thought I’d exercise some self control and instead tinker with my existing “free” combos.  Here are some sample portraits with the Nikon 105mm 1.4E on the Fuji GFX 50S.  It’s mounted with a simple dummy adapter, the one I use for the […]

Nikon D700 + 105mm 1.4E

All this time I totally forgot about trying the 105mm 1.4E on the classic D700.  This lens usually stays forever mounted on my other main body.  Always wide open at f/1.4 because well, that’s where this lens shines annnd because the D610 sensor is so dusty every speck shows up at smaller apertures. The D700 […]

Sunday Funday + Bonus Rainbow!

Thanks to Chalita and her dad for randomly stopping by the other day!  Here are some photos from a somewhat spontaneous mini adventure.  The rainbow was definitely unplanned, but for Georgia in the summer, it always has to shower unexpectedly somewhere.  Stepped out of the house with 3 cameras, and 3 different lenses.  Nikon D610 […]

iPhone 3GS Camera Revisited: Lovely Nostalgic Vintage Aesthetic

Behold, here are some amazing lo-fi aesthetic photos from the iPhone 3GS! Again thanks to Phalatda for letting me take a trip down memory lane with this lovely image making device. I’m being very serious here, this phone renders some images like a disposable film camera.  The newer cameras and phones are super great for […]
