On Saturday I was driving back from working and saw this amazing rainbow off in the distance! So I took a detour to PDK airport and took some photos with the Canon setup I had on me from earlier. I would have to say the Canon way of rendering clouds is still my most favorite […]

Nikon V1 + FT1 + 200mm f/2 Practice Photos Last week I practiced with the above crazy combo, the Nikkor 200mm f/2 on the teeny tiny mirrorless V1 with the FT1 adapter. I was wondering if a few upcoming events could benefit from the outrageous 2.7x crop that is in effect with this setup. Would […]

I gathered up the 3 50mm lenses that I have in the Minolta/Sony Mount and took some test photos. My first 50mm was the AF 50mm f/1.7 that I used in college. It was already old back then, but little did I know of its power to see and render life on black and white […]

Thanks to Krista for coming out on another random Wednesday photo hangout! Didn’t shoot too many portraits outside, as it has been 100 degrees in Atlanta this week. I really would like the summer heat to calm down, but now we’re back to it raining out of nowhere everyday. I am glad when the random […]
Continue readingMinolta Lenses on Sony A7 + LA-EA4 – Sample Photos
The other day my Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR finally broke. I’ve had it for something like 18+ years and boy did it produce some memories. I probably took like 300,000+ photos with it over the years across many Nikon DSLRs. Every camera/lens company has a pro lens of this type going back many decades, and […]
Continue readingFujifilm GFX 50S + Nikon 35-80mm f/4-5.6 Samples
After tinkering with the broken Nikon 35-70mm on the GFX I replaced it with a Nikon 35-80mm instead! And you know, it’s actually pretty good on the GFX at small apertures for landscapes and slow photography. You have to zoom in just a bit to cover the FF+ sensor. Not bad for such an affordable […]
Continue readingOlympus 40-150mm f/4-5.6 – Sample Photos
Hello everyone I bought a cheap Olympus 40-150mm f/4-5.6 the other day. On micro 4/3 cameras it’s like the FOV of an 80-300mm(!) on larger sensor cameras. But much much smaller. I got this to assemble a light weight kit, and to see if it would possibly work for event photography in quiet environments. Sadly […]

More photo samples of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 in low and ambient light conditions. I think this lens really shows its strengths when the light levels drop (and there are not too many highlights in the scene that will cause purple fringing). Sure far off city lights on the edge of the frame turn […]

A late post, but big thanks to Sam and Nolan for braving the insane Georgia heat in June for a fun Heaven’s Official Blessing themed shoot! Having gone to school in Athens, I’m not kidding when I say it feels much hotter there vs metro Atlanta. It must have been have like 98+ degrees that […]
