It was super cold and raining in the morning, and that threw off the flow of the events for Sunday, but it still turned out nice and festive at the end! Here’s a photo story from my perspective. Wanted to shoot film and other things, but that weather was a bummer. Great performances and display […]

Hello everyone, I just realized something today while going through photos. I’ve been taking pictures at the various Lao New Year festivals for 20 years now(!). Yes, that is truly insane to think about. The above photo is from Stone Mountain on April 18 of 2004 and the bottom photo was this past Sunday at […]

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 […]

Cherry blossoms (both the pure white and pink ones) are pretty much in full bloom right now in Georgia. Which bodes well for the festival down in Macon if you’re heading down there. If I recall it’s always been tough in recent years for the parade and festivities to perfectly line up with mother nature. […]
Model: Amanda | Gear: GFX and Nikon 50mm 1.8 Ai-S The dynamic range and tones available in the GFX raw files are something else. Really a lot of latitude to pull back highlights in skies.
Model: Chau | Gear: Sony + Canon Lens / Canon + Nikon Lens (yes both setups manual focus on purpose) These okame cherry trees are the first to bloom in Georgia. Sometimes as early as the first week in February, when it’s still pretty cold. There used to be a more purple one on the […]
Model: Chau | Lenses: 18-55mm kit lens and 105mm 2.8 Micro (Nikon J1 for the product shots) I would have to say I’m really enjoying using this “consumer” camera. The Nikon colors really show up well on the LCD with the brightness at max and +2/3 EV. Like all Nikons the default metering almost always […]
