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 […]

Wat Buddha Bucha Thai New Year Songkran April 7, 2024 | Decatur, GA The L/T/C New Year “season” here in Georgia normally begins at the Thai temple and runs all the way to Memorial Day(!) when folks everywhere congregate up in TN. Today had brisk cool weather and a large turnout for the alms giving […]

Continue readingCherry Blossoms in Bloom – 2024-03-10
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. […]
Continue readingSpring in Georgia + GFX
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.
Continue readingOkame Cherry Tree Portraits + Hangout
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 […]
Continue readingSpring Photos + Nikon D5300
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 […]

For this wedding I made a personal recap book, an 8×6″ Flush Mount with matte velvet paper. I think it looks pretty nice! The paper is a bit more expensive than the normal lustre paper, but the fact that it doesn’t show any reflections and can be viewed/photographed from any direction is great. The vertical […]

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 […]
