Fujifilm GFX 50S + GF 35-70mm Portraits

While it’s rainy and cold outside, I gave myself a challenge and decided to edit some portraits that I shot with the GF 35-70mm.  It’s a great sharp lens for landscapes and all around use, but I wanted to see if it could work for my brand of pretty portraits.  The main part of the […]

Fujifilm GF 35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 Samples + Mini Review

Hello everyone I finally got a native lens for the GFX system, and boy is it sharp.  The Fujifilm GF 35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 is a “kit lens” and is the cheapest and one of the lightest GF lenses at something like a pound.  Mounted on the medium format GFX 50S it’s not heavy at all and […]

Porsche Experience Atlanta Visit

1-16-2025 | Atlanta, GA What a fun day with friends at Porsche NA down in Atlanta.  I drive by this place often since it’s right beside the airport, and it was so cool to finally visit “Avengers HQ!” in person.  Thanks to Raj for the gift, and Donald for taking awesome photos of me. Driving […]

Fujifilm X100 Review – Wedding Photos from 10+ Years

Hello everyone, in thinking of my series of posts about all the lovely cameras and lenses I have, I forgot that like many of my tools, I buy them, use them and never really got around to “reviewing” them. That’s how much I love taking pictures and editing. Much better than arguing online with random […]

I Shot some 35mm Color Film at Lao New Year

For this Lao New Year season I thought it would be neat to shoot some color negative film at some of the festivals.  Partly to stand out, partly because it’s “fun,” and probably just because I need to scratch that itch to remind myself of why digital is so amazing/superior/better and this is why we […]

Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 170 Roll 5&6 + Fujifilm

It took a year but I finally finished the roll of Fuji Superia 400 that I had in the Olympus Stylus.  I scanned these on the Epson V550 and left some of the dust and scratches in some of the frames for that authentic nostalgia.  The randomness of lint and crud on film photos really […]

Nikon 85mm 1.4D + GFX 50S

Last week I thought I would give this combo another try–a now “vintage” Nikon 85mm 1.4D adapted to the GFX with the simple dummy adapter.  Last year I wasn’t too keen on the 67mm “equivalent” focal length when mounted on the medium format GFX sensor, but for this colorful spring I thought it would be […]

Vintage Cameras in the Spring

These are from a few weeks ago, but I wanted some nice “product” photos of some of my vintage cameras.  Just nice to have, and it always makes me appreciate the design and styling of these photographic tools.  And yes the Polaroid 100 still has a pack of Fuji FP-100C in it, a rare and […]

Spring in Georgia 2024 + Fuji

Here’s what was in bloom the weekend of Feb 18-20th.  It’s been a late spring this year, as I remember these Norcross Okame Cherry trees blooming the first week of Feb last year.  It’s been cooler with plenty of rainy days thus far.

Fujifilm S5 Portraits Revisited

At some point I think modern camera culture will fall in line with car culture.  Folks wanting a different user experience, or just appreciate how something looks.  With cameras I think the best reason why folks should want to collect and use “old” digital cameras is because that’s the only way to get access to […]

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 […]

Deutsche Klassic Car Show Photos- Norcross, GA 2023

Deutsche Klassic Car Show 2023 October 28, 2023 | Norcross, GA Very nice light early in the morning for the German car show in Norcross.  Shot with Fujifilm, Canon and Sony today.

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.

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 […]

Fujifilm GFX 50S + Nikon 105mm f/1.4E

With all the buzz around the new Nikon Z 135mm f/1.8 Plena, I thought I’d exercise some self control and instead tinker with my existing “free” combos.  Here are some sample portraits and photos with the Nikon 105mm 1.4E on the Fuji GFX 50S.  It’s mounted with a simple dummy adapter, the one I use […]

Fujifilm GFX 50S + Various Nikon Mount Lenses

Here are some photos of the random combos I’ve put together with the GFX and F mount lenses.  The first is a Tokina 500mm f/8 lens.  (Thanks Robbie for gifting me this lens a few years ago)  It turns into a 400mm and it’s not that bad if you avoid bright highlights in the background.  […]

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 […]

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 […]

Photo Hangout: X100 + X100V(ivian) :)

Thanks to Vivian and Sean for hanging out on Saturday.  It was the only overcast day in between some rainy ones in late April, but I think we got some good results! Congrats to Vivian for finding an X100V! I remember being obsessed in searching for the original one back in 2011?! If you look, […]
