Here are some photos from a fresh roll of Kodak Ultramax 400 on the Nikon F100 and various lenses. About this time last year the 3 pack of Kodak could be found at Walgreens for about $18.99 down here in metro Atlanta. Then it got jacked up to almost $28 just a few weeks later […]

Before the hurricane and tropical depression rolled in we were on our way to a nice colorful fall down here in Georgia. But as usual, the wind and rain knocked down so much of the foliage around me. I did manage to squeeze in some film shots alongside the normal digitals. It’s still fun to […]

Thanks to Thomas for some rolls of expired film! My guess is the film might have been at least ten years old, but I’m glad it still registered an image. Here are some examples of the first expired roll on an F100 and 105mm 1.4E. Out of 24 exposures I think I got about 16 […]

Hello everyone, just thought I’d post a few random photos from the last couple of years taken with the Canon RP and EF 85mm f/1.2L. This is the mark II version of the lens and it focuses quite well with the EOS to R Canon adapter. This lens was pretty sluggish on older DSLRs and […]

So here are my “bonus” photos, a few shots with my Sigma SD14 and SD15. The SD14 was in infrared mode and the SD15 was normal color with a really cheap 70-300mm. It was definitely a challenge shooting these slow cameras/lenses alongside the normal easy Canon setup I had on Sunday. Again, I like ALL […]

The rain knocked down a lot of the leaves, but it’s still very pretty out there. With magical early morning light like this almost any camera would have worked, but I used my favorite Fall color camera the Nikon D50 and also a J1 and C Mount lens. I also shot film, Fuji Superia 400 […]
Continue readingFall Photos in Georgia (Gwinnett) – Sigma SD10 – 2022-11-01
The Sigma SD10 is interesting in that the colors it produces is most like a normal DSLR from any of the other brands of the day (Pentax, Minolta, Nikon). The back LCD preview screen is “wrong” but it has an interesting reddish and violet color shift that is much more saturated than the resulting raw […]

It’s like nature flipped a switch this past weekend! Just a few pictures from a gloomy morning walk before events on this October Saturday. Cloudy, sky-less days are actually very good for fall photography I’ve found.
