(Glitchy) Canon S200 Elph – Sample Photos

This lovely vintage Canon S200 Elph digicam was thrifted out in New Mexico!  Seeing as how these things are snatched up so quick by savvy resellers I’m glad we visited the store at the right time.  This ancient 2 Megapixel imager came with a 256MB (yes Megabytes!) CF card that still had some photos from […]

Canon R8 Sample Photos + Portraits + Mini Review

I added a Canon EOS R8 for some work situations because it’s the only affordable mirrorless camera with a usable silent shutter.  Yeah, that’s pretty much it.  After all these years I still don’t have a Nikon FF mirrorless because the older Nikon DSLRs still produce top notch images, and their files work perfectly in […]

Peppermint Flowering Peach Tree Might be my Favorite

The peppermint flowering peach tree might be the most visually striking in my opinion.  It’s crazy to see the blossoms coming right out of a sapling not even two feet high.  The color palette matches my good old foldable bike too.  We’ll see if the film photos I also shot on my Olympus Stylus turn […]

Sunday Funday + Bonus Rainbow!

Thanks to Chalita and her dad for randomly stopping by the other day!  Here are some photos from a somewhat spontaneous mini adventure.  The rainbow was definitely unplanned, but for Georgia in the summer, it always has to shower unexpectedly somewhere.  Stepped out of the house with 3 cameras, and 3 different lenses.  Nikon D610 […]
