Suwanee British Car Show 2025 Photos
A few Sundays ago there was a cool British car show in Suwanee. I stopped by in the morning after the rain and shot GFX 50S with the Nikon 50mm and a D700 and the 200mm f2 for fun/practice. The vibes were different with the weather and lens choice. I. Fuji GFX Shots II. Nikon […]

Hello everyone, I bought a cheap used RF lens the other day, the 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM. It’s a kit lens (very basic starter one) that they bundle with the R8. It’s a full frame lens, with a wide to normal field of view, but designed for lightweight travel and portability. Meaning it really compromises […]

It’s been rumored that Fujifilm will soon release a new “half frame” digital camera with a vertical sensor. That’s a pretty cool feature, daring to be different and promoting the artistic idea of diptychs. (placing two somewhat related/unrelated images together and having that interplay evoke more studying or pondering over a composition that would otherwise […]

This lovely vintage Canon S200 Elph digicam was thrifted out in New Mexico! Seeing as how these things are snatched up so quick by savvy resellers I’m glad we visited the store at the right time. This ancient 2 Megapixel imager came with a 256MB (yes Megabytes!) CF card that still had some photos from […]

A collection of my portraits (from late Nov ’24 to Apr ’25) created with the Nikon 200mm f/2 VR. This lens was designed for sports photography, but seriously, it’s one of the best portrait lenses due to its clarity and rendering of backgrounds.

Canon SX100 IS Digicam | Shot with a Nikon D4, edited with my “anime preset” 😉 I bought this camera a few years back for something like $15? I forget exactly, just like how I forgot to do a dedicated post on it. I like this camera a lot. It’s small, takes 2 AA batteries […]

Back in February I bought this used super cheap Nikon 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 zoom lens manufactured in the 90’s. It was Nikon’s first attempt at an affordable kit lens with the early batch of consumer autofocus film cameras back in the day. This lens is small, about the size of a modern F mount 50mm 1.8G! […]

I ordered some more ZNO 3×3″ Mini Accordion photos books last month. Some to keep, and some for gifts. I just checked the website and the prices are still the same, but I did notice the shipping was a bit more than normal. These products do come all the way from China, so who knows […]

Hello everyone, I just got back from a trip out in the American West and I couldn’t help but compare it to the video games I’ve played in my life. This amazing ancient land was first held by the indigenous peoples (Navajo, Hopi, Zuni and others), and then came Spanish conquerors, and then the Atomic […]
