Nikon 200mm f/2 VR Portraits – Set 1
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 […]

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 […]
Continue readingHanging Out – Asian Festival Hopping!
I wasn’t planning on doing anything the rest of my Saturday, but ended up hanging out and running into friends (old and new) at the various Asian festivals! Tonight I thought I would unveil my DV camcorder plus iPhone capturing the back LCD screen to record vertical bts shots! (The setup isn’t too complicated I […]

What an outrageous combo the D700 and 200mm f/2 is! I’ve been having fun with it on my morning walks this spring and the occasional portrait session when I have my STR/STAMINA points maxed out for the day. From a beauty and technical level this might be the best lens I have, since it draws […]

So I got this camera while thrifting the other day–an Olympus C-3000 Zoom from the year 2000! I think I will forever leave the price tag on the body. Sadly though the memory card (a smart media) was like $30 for 32MB! One dollar per Megabyte. Yes kids, 1 MB won’t even store a full […]
