On these random photo hangouts, it gives me a chance to explore different photo spots (and eat at different places!) and practice with my various gear.\u00a0 These are all digital cameras, but how a person goes about using each of them requires a little bit of mental juggling as far as their strengths and weaknesses and what kind of look you are going for.\u00a0 By using almost everything in my bag, I keep the rotation going.\u00a0 That is why I buy gear, to use, and have fun.\u00a0 Keeps me from thinking about other things…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These are shots from my current “A” camera.\u00a0 Manual Focus Canon+Nikon combo.\u00a0 I miss some shots, but the act of pulling focus makes you earn the shot.\u00a0 When you shoot wide open on a lens to get that artistic rendering, the margin for error is slim.\u00a0 Manual focus does have an advantage, the camera is always ready to fire.<\/p>\n

I never shoot a crazy amount with the infrared Sigma SD14.\u00a0 Its slowness in turn slows me down and I have a pretty good hit ratio with it.\u00a0 The way the lens and sensor combo sees life is just really unique.\u00a0 The sharpness of the images is proof that we really don’t need any more than 4 megapixels.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just your standard pretty Nikon images.\u00a0 Autofocus is a good thing.\u00a0 The bottom images are taken with the ABR800 ring light.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These images are from free lensing a C-Mount 25mm 1.4 in front of the Nikon 1 in Manual mode.\u00a0 Until an inexpensive adapter comes out, simply holding the lens in front of the sensor to take a picture can produce some artistic results.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The J1’s pop up flash does trigger the optical sensor on the ring light.\u00a0 I don’t have any decent results from it yet though.<\/p>\n
