Dragon Egg Festival Photos – Lawrenceville, GA – 2026-03-28
Had a free day so I stopped by the Dragon Egg Festival in Lawrenceville, after scouting the park in Grayson. Great hanging out with old friends and chatting with new people. It was wild seeing all the little ones preemptively rush the field for Easter Eggs–which are pretty much the original loot box/blind box. It […]

Hello everyone, the other day I noticed the Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 was on sale so I bought one. Here are my thoughts and sample photos in this mini review. I’ve owned many wide angles over the years, and like every tool, they have their own quirks and use cases. Back in the early DSLR […]

Thanks to Donald for letting me borrow the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 a few weeks back. For the big dance show I thought about lens choices that would let me shoot from way in the back of the theater. I had concerns if f/5.6 was enough in those random lighting situations, but I think it worked […]

Had a free day so I went to the Conyers Cherry Blossom festival to see the lovely trees, watch the group perform, and practice with my random gear. One of which is a new Canon lens I bought on a whim the day before. Even though the GPS always suggests 85 to 20 to get […]

Happy Lunar New Year everyone, I’ve been shooting/editing photos from Nikon cameras for well over 20 years now. (Examples can still be found right here on this /Journal) From consumer digicams, to prosumer bridge cameras, to the affordable DSLR revolution back in the early 2000s. Is it my favorite camera system? Probably/maybe since I do […]

One of the neat features of the Canon R8 is that it shoots really nice 4K full sensor width video. As in no central crop like the previous RP that I still have. Canon’s desktop Digital Photo Professional software is what I’ve been using for many years to edit my photography raw files. It also […]

(Still doing more inventory and cleaning up my junk!) In charging up all my old idevices (iPads and iPhones) to see if they all still work I thought about the ones that have cameras. They definitely show the quick progress that Apple put into their tech over the course of 12+ years. Whereas you can […]

Still doing inventory and waiting for winter to really be over. Here in Georgia we always have a few weeks of 60-70 degree weather in January that is inevitably followed by a few more months of cold temperatures. As these cameras of mine (and me) get older and older there’s a realization that they aren’t […]
