Canon EOS RP Follow Up Review
So I’ve had the Canon EOS RP for 9 months now. I think that’s enough time to give a pretty good opinion on the strengths and weaknesses of this camera. I’ve found that you really have to “live” with a camera or lens combo for a good long time to figure out what it’s best […]

Duluth Fall Festival | (Always the Last weekend in September!) | September 28, 2019 It has been a long hot summer down here in Georgia, and pretty much everywhere else too it seems. Let’s hope the cool temperatures predicted for next week finally usher in Autumn, perhaps my most favorite season. For this Saturday evening […]

Yet another snowstorm in the South and the subsequent icy roads that caused so much havoc this past week...bad for travel, but good for spur of the moment photos.

Mounting an 85mm on the J1 with simple mechanical adapters. It works! :)

Model: Minjee MUA/Stylist: Nhi Notes: I wonder if all the girls out there realize that most guys (including myself) prefer it when you ladies are just normal, without much makeup.

Model: Frannie MUA / Hair: Nhi Lighting Assistance and Props: BRC and PT I draw, I take photos, I write about it. Thanks to the team for all the help. Thanks to BRC for letting me take his ABR800 ring light out for a test drive. It definitely produces some blinding light. Even shooting through its “portal” has […]

MUA and Hair: Nhi Model: Christina, Miss Vietnam Georgia 2010 Location: My front yard 🙂 Technical Notes: All primes on this one, that is, lenses with a fixed focal length. 50mm, 85mm, and 105mm. Have a hard time deciding which one is my favorite for portraiture, so I just use them all.

Dragon Con 2010 Photos Notes: Photos and images from the annual Dragon Con parade / event in Atlanta. Depending on where you stood, the light was really nice for photos that morning. It makes sense to wait for the right passages of light and color, and combined with large aperture lenses to do justice to […]

Notes: …two cameras as usual, one existing light, and one strobist setup (off camera speedlight), both good at different things, both with lots of potential, both requiring a different way of seeing. In the end it is still about recognizing the quality of light, if it should be added (as in using a car head light) […]
