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 […]

I had a fun photoshoot the other day. It was all outside and the weather was agreeable so it was a perfect project to use the best camera+lens combos that I have. I could have titled this post, “Portrait Shoot with Hanfu in the Warm Early Georgia Fall” but to be honest, in this era […]

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 […]

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.

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.

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 […]
