Nikon D600 Rolling Review (Words and Pictures)

Just my thoughts and opinions on the newest camera to the fleet, Nikon's Full Frame FX format D600.

Lao New Year 2555

I often wonder if all of my Lao New Year photos are actually doing more harm than good. Because I don’t necessarily post images of what truly happens, when outsiders go to the temple/community center/fairgrounds, they might be in for a shock. There are many things in the Lao community that I don’t agree with, […]

Nikon J1 and 85mm f/1.4

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

Nikon 1 and C Mount Lens

Nikon J1 and Cosmicar 25mm f/1.8 Television Lens for some unique color results.

Nikon J1 Review (…by a girl) :)

Random photo hangout with the Nikon 1 J1. Comparisons with other cameras with different sensor sizes.

Atlanta Photo Meetup: Oakland Cemetery Halloween

Fun Shootout in Atlanta's Historic Oakland Cemetery, a place more like a flower and sculpture garden.

Nikon 1 (Pre-Review)

First thoughts and pictures from the new Nikon mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, the J1.

F100 Roll 3 + Kodak Profoto XL

Shots from a roll of Kodak ProFoto XL ISO 100, and comparisons between the Walgreens film scans and my "Strobist" way of photographing color negatives.

Nikon F100

Notes: Latest addition to the fleet (although about 10 years late to the party!), the Nikon F100. Will shoot black and white film for the upcoming gigs this month.

Fake A&F Ad

New Recruits

Notes: New weapons unlocked in the Team Neekon arsenal! 🙂 From what I’ve read the Nikon L35 AF pictured above has a solid 35mm f/2.8 lens, attached to a Giugiaro designed body. Back in the halcyon days of 1983, there’s no way our family could have afforded a point and shoot like this. On the total opposite end of the spectrum […]

Model: Cammy MUA / Hair: Nhi

Vintage

Notes: In drawing class, if the model can’t make it, students are usually given an assignment to just draw each other. Same thing in photography. But that’s not really what our fake modeling is all about. 🙂 I’m grateful to anyone who has ever given me or loaned some camera gear that’s sitting in their closet. To some […]

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 […]

Kennesaw Photo Meetup

The reason I bring so much glass to these informal shoots is to further familiarize myself with the strengths and weaknesses of various gear in my toolset. While almost anything can be used to make an image, we each have our own opinions as to which are the better tools to help us achieve the […]

Team Neekon

Notes: I don’t know if any studying really gets done at a coffee shop, but I would have to say these “workshops” work best when you combine talking about cameras and photography with pastries and drinks. No need to pay somebody to stand in front of a class, just create your own Team “Neekon.” Ironically enough, all […]

Dolls

Technical Notes: Stylist and MUA: Nhi, Trying out a couple of different ideas all at once for this shoot. Obviously the goal is to have fun, and supply flattering images for people, but learning the strengths of weaknesses of different gear is always a tertiary goal. Natural light low ISO is in the wheelhouse of the […]

“Misa Jar Jar Binks” :o)

Sawatdee

Notes: …cold wet rain actually made for the best photos of the day. Wet pavement always enhances out of focus streetlights that add to the dreamy bokeh. I like doing inside strobist shots (since there’s music and heat), but it’s never replacing environment shots with just one camera and a lens. In the time it takes to fill up my […]
