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, GA – Fall Festival 2019

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 […]

A Hazy Shade of Winter

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.

Minjee

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.  We like you in t-shirts and jeans, scars and all…  Granted, the first images are beauty shots for a specific portfolio purpose, but if it […]

Pauline

Model: Pauline MUA / Hair: Nhi Notes: I tend to shoot with a different style or theme than the last one.  Just a way to keep from getting bored, and also use the gear that was just sitting on the shelf.  People only see the end results, and not the general flow of the evening, […]

Ring Light

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 […]

Dragon Con 2010 Photos and Portraits

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 […]

Kennesaw Photo Meetup

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) […]
