Fall + Sony A7 + Canon EF 24mm 1.4L

Thanks for reading/viewing along on my journal here.  I know the last posts have been more of a visual record of my practicing with my various photography combos.  Just like getting up early to walk or shoot hoops, practicing with different camera combos to build up the muscle memory is always a good thing.  Plus […]

Fall Photos + Fujifilm X-E1 + 16-50mm

I really like this super light kit for wandering around.  Once you stop considering cameras for situations where they might struggle in professional/work settings they are all charming in their own way.  If the weak battery goes out on a chilly early morning walk, no big deal, just admire the falling leaves and sing along […]

Nikon V1 + FT1 + 18-55mm Kit Lens

The other day it dawned on me that I could use the cheap kit lens from the D5300, the ubiquitous 18-55mm on my various Nikon 1 cameras adapted with the FT1.  I’ve obviously used all of my F mount lenses on this thing for testing and goofing off purposes many times in the past but […]

Fall in Westminster SC

Some fall photos from a drive to Westminster South Carolina, with some stops before and afterwards.  So cold on this day.

Fall Photos 2023 + Sigma SD10 + SD15

With my various photography gear I do treat it kind of like a video game, the RPG’s where you have to level up different weapons with experience points.  This season was about finally unlocking the code so to speak on Fujifilm .raf raw files after all these years, so my Sigma cameras haven’t been used […]

Fall Photos 2023 + Nikon D5300 + 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6

I bought a really excellent condition Nikon D5300 and kit lens the other day.  It was too cheap to pass up and after using the exif checker, this camera had only been used for about 4000 pictures.  I thought it would be nice to have a simple light camera that has a flip out screen […]

Diwali BAPS Fireworks Photos 2023 – Lilburn, GA

Every year I keep on forgetting to bring the Olympus cameras, with their fancy Live-Composite and Live-Bulb photo modes.  Probably the best tool for fireworks photography.  Oh well, these were shot with less than optimal gear, but it was still fun and a sight to behold on a chilly Sunday.

Fall in Georgia 2023 + Honda S2000

State of the leaves in our area on 10.24.2023.  This fall is different (as usual).  Most of the leaves are dull brown before the eventual bigger rush of color, but the wind and impending freezing temperatures will probably affect that too.  Still though, very nice around town.  

Fall in South Carolina – Brasstown Falls and Chattooga Belle Farm

These are photos from last Friday (the 13th!) up in nearby South Carolina.  This area might as well still be considered Georgia as it’s north of Toccoa and South of Clayton by about 30 minutes.  Brasstown Falls (not to be confused with the highest point in Ga Brasstown Bald) is a really nice waterfall with […]

Fujifilm X-E1 + XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6

So I finally bought a native Fuji lens for my X-E1, a used 16-50mm XC kit lens.  Probably the cheapest lens that Fuji makes, and you know, it’s not that bad.  Especially not for the price on the used market.  I think it’s great because its so light and the footprint in the inventory slot […]

Fall in North Carolina – Sylva, NC

After the Cherokee parade we drove to nearby Sylva. It’s a really pretty town. On the way to WCU we passed by a Bojangles having a random Tuesday car meet! Ran into the gentleman that made the Wayne’s World Pacer that was in the Dragon Con parade a few weeks ago. It really is a […]

Cherokee Indian Parade 2023 Photos

Cherokee Indian Parade October 3, 2023 | Cherokee, NC I will always love a parade. Whether it be the Mardi Gras parades, the UGA championship parade, Dragon Con parade, or even small town parades like this, they’re all great to me. On a random Tuesday the lovely community up in Cherokee North Carolina had their […]

Petit Le Mans Kickoff 2023 Photos – Suwanee, GA

Road Atlanta PLM Kickoff | October 10, 2023 The kind folks at Road Atlanta brought race cars to our backyard once again!  Thanks to everyone for the hard work.  Above is a short video I cut.  Since the event was so close I brought lots of different gear to goof off with. 1) My normal […]

Anderson SC Hot Air Balloon Festival 2023 Photos

I had no idea there was a hot air balloon festival in “nearby” Anderson, South Carolina!  Very cool small town feel on an area of land almost as big as Piedmont Park.  The mini petting zoo and unicorn balloon were definitely the highlights.  These are photos from a short stay on a Friday.  The festival […]

Lovely Folks from Dragon Con 2023 – Set 1

Random folks that were kind enough to pose for photos while we wandered DragonCon!  Thanks so much!  So much to see and already looking forward to next year! @masterjoelnathan @emmagracebrookss @sheilaz1118 @gotmagic_entertainment @aubrey_akari

Tucker Cruise In – 2023-08-12

Man it’s been hot and humid this summer.  Here are some photos from this month’s Tucker Cruise In.  There are two more left this year.  I only brought along the Fuji GFX and Sigma SD15, and treated both like film cameras. The Sigma SD15 raw file had some crazy yellowish color cast, but the sharpness […]

Fujifilm GFX 50S and Nikon 50mm 1.8 Ai-S

Hello everyone I added a new tool to the fleet the other day, a medium format Fujifilm GFX 50S.  For some the sensor size would be more aptly described as a Full Frame+, but this digital photography thing has been changing the status quo for quite some now.  I remember back in the day about […]

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 […]

Road Trip – Day 7 – Springdale + St George + Vegas

St. George is definitely a great city to stop by and explore.  There’s a free botanical garden with amazing colorful desert plants, and a high vantage point overlooking the city.  There’s Utah Tech, a lovely white church, AND an Asian grocery store/restaurant!  They have bamboo and pork buns too, along with the normal assortment of […]
