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 […]
Continue readingFall in South Carolina – Brasstown Falls and Chattooga Belle Farm
These are photos from last Friday (the 13th!) up in nearby South Carolina. This area might as well still be considered Georgia as it’s north of Toccoa and South of Clayton by about 30 minutes. Brasstown Falls (not to be confused with the highest point in Ga Brasstown Bald) is a really nice waterfall with […]
Continue readingFujifilm X-E1 + XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6
So I finally bought a native Fuji lens for my X-E1, a used 16-50mm XC kit lens. Probably the cheapest lens that Fuji makes, and you know, it’s not that bad. Especially not for the price on the used market. I think it’s great because its so light and the footprint in the inventory slot […]
Continue readingFall in North Carolina – Sylva, NC
After the Cherokee parade we drove to nearby Sylva. It’s a really pretty town. On the way to WCU we passed by a Bojangles having a random Tuesday car meet! Ran into the gentleman that made the Wayne’s World Pacer that was in the Dragon Con parade a few weeks ago. It really is a […]

Cherokee Indian Parade October 3, 2023 | Cherokee, NC I will always love a parade. Whether it be the Mardi Gras parades, the UGA championship parade, Dragon Con parade, or even small town parades like this, they’re all great to me. On a random Tuesday the lovely community up in Cherokee North Carolina had their […]

Road Atlanta PLM Kickoff | October 10, 2023 The kind folks at Road Atlanta brought race cars to our backyard once again! Thanks to everyone for the hard work. Above is a short video I cut. Since the event was so close I brought lots of different gear to goof off with. 1) My normal […]

Only a few photos from my second festival of the day, the Arab Festival at Alif Institute. Had more fun soaking in the sights and sounds of the event than running around taking photos. The band was really amazing. Which reminds me I need to rekindle my interest in Persian techno. I remember listening to […]

Serb Fest Atlanta 2023 Saints Peter and Paul Serbian Orthodox Church – Lilburn, GA Had a good time during my brief stay at the Serb Fest! (There were so many other festivals today!) Here are some of my photos of the folklore performers. I believe they were: St Stephen from Buffalo NY, and Serbian Crown […]
Continue readingFujifilm 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 and photos with the Nikon 105mm 1.4E on the Fuji GFX 50S. It’s mounted with a simple dummy adapter, the one I use […]
Continue readingFujifilm GFX 50S + Various Nikon Mount Lenses
Here are some photos of the random combos I’ve put together with the GFX and F mount lenses. The first is a Tokina 500mm f/8 lens. (Thanks Robbie for gifting me this lens a few years ago) It turns into a 400mm and it’s not that bad if you avoid bright highlights in the background. […]

I had no idea there was a hot air balloon festival in “nearby” Anderson, South Carolina! Very cool small town feel on an area of land almost as big as Piedmont Park. The mini petting zoo and unicorn balloon were definitely the highlights. These are photos from a short stay on a Friday. The festival […]

Man it’s been hot and humid this summer. Here are some photos from this month’s Tucker Cruise In. There are two more left this year. I only brought along the Fuji GFX and Sigma SD15, and treated both like film cameras. The Sigma SD15 raw file had some crazy yellowish color cast, but the sharpness […]
Continue readingFujifilm GFX 50S and Nikon 50mm 1.8 Ai-S
Hello everyone I added a new tool to the fleet the other day, a medium format Fujifilm GFX 50S. For some the sensor size would be more aptly described as a Full Frame+, but this digital photography thing has been changing the status quo for quite some now. I remember back in the day about […]
Continue readingNikon 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 […]
Continue readingSunday 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 […]
