cotton candy rainbow sunset

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

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 […]

Minolta 50mm lenses on A7 Samples

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 […]

Photo Hangout + (D700 + R8 + A7)

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 […]

Minolta 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 […]

Fujifilm 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 […]

Olympus 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 […]

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 – Low Light Samples

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 […]

Cosplay Shoot: Hualian

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 […]

Savannah, GA – Sunrises and Sunsets

Photos within walking distance of the hotel and convention center.  This was about all I had time for. It rained almost every day there, and I forgot about all the bugs! Still very pretty though, and I hope locals there take advantage of all the sights and colors.  I know I would be taking photos […]

Santa Fe, New Mexico – Pt. 8

Just north of Santa Fe near the skiing area is a huge Aspen forest! Too bad it was early spring and there weren’t any leaves just yet.  I bet around Oct it would look gorgeous for all types of photography, or just to marvel at the yellow and sunlight streaming through the trees.  It truly […]

Grand Canyon, Arizona – Pt. 7

It was pretty cold and windy that day at the Grand Canyon.  On the drive there I couldn’t help but wonder about the people living on the outskirts of the park in modest homes.  You drive for hours and come across a lone Burger King or a gas station.  Here we have to take into […]

Sedona, Arizona – Pt. 6

The light in Sedona, Arizona is just different. So nice, so colorful.  It’s like a built in buff to any camera that you bring.  I think it was a good call on only bringing the X100 and A7 and 50mm.  It was pretty cold and windy up at the airport overlook the first day but […]

Meteor Crater, Arizona – Pt. 5

It was crazy windy at Meteor Crater–close to hurricane force winds and it was really hard to even stand upright, much less focus on photos.  But what an amazing sight.  This entire desert area is like a movie.  From small towns that celebrate the golden and silver age of alien tropes, to real craters bigger […]

Chang Thai Restaurant + Winslow, AZ – Pt. 4

There’s this really great Thai restaurant off the exit in Winslow Arizona!  The very same Winslow in the Eagles’ song!  After all these years of having that song pop up in my random playlist, it never occurred to me that they were talking about a real town.  A town that has built its tourism industry […]
