  • HDR with the Fujifilm X-Pro 2

    I come to the Santa Monica Pier a few times a year to test cameras and lenses or to just update my portfolio. Even though I only live a few miles away, it’s a huge pain in the ass dealing with the crowds and parking. At least this time it ended up being a rewarding experience.

  • Fujifilm X70 – A Quick Review

    Fujifilm X70 – A Quick Review

    The Fujifilm X70 is the answer to those who want amazing image quality in as small of a package as possible. It has a lot of the same things we love about the X100T, but is much smaller and much lighter. In terms of image quality, it might be the best camera I’ve used that’s…

  • Sony A6300 Review – The Full Frame Killer

    Sony A6300 Review – The Full Frame Killer

    The Sony A6300 is Sony’s flagship APS-C camera. Compared to the A6000, the camera features an all magnesium weather resistant body that feels much more rugged and solid in the hand. The camera also features a new sensor and the ability to shoot 4k. With Sony’s growing APS-C lens lineup, the A6300 is one of…

  • The Schindler House – X-Pro 2

    The Schindler House – X-Pro 2

    Since I got the X-Pro 2, I’ve either been working or stuck inside with the flu. Finally, I’m about 90% healed and could go out again, this time to the Schindler House in West Hollywood. It’s a small old house / architectural marvel from 1922; it reminds me of old houses in Japan, except it’s…

  • Fujifilm X-Pro 2 Review | A Camera With A Soul

    Fujifilm X-Pro 2 Review | A Camera With A Soul

    With a huge bump in megapixels, processing power and build quality, the X-Pro 2 is not just better than original X-Pro 1, but it’s one of the best camera Fujifilm has built to date. Doing a camera review and being completely objective is something that is extremely difficult. Some reviewers will focus on some aspects…

  • Joshua Tree – Fujifilm XT1

    Joshua Tree – Fujifilm XT1

    A few weeks ago I found myself in Joshua Tree. I’ve been there a few times now but this time around things were going to be different. I had some new lenses, new cameras, and a different eye. The last few years I’ve been shooting a lot of Landscape and HDR photography and found myself…

  • The Sony A6300 Is Here, But Was It Worth The Wait?

    The Sony A6300 Is Here, But Was It Worth The Wait?

    The successor to Sony’s best selling camera is here! The A6300. I feel like almost everyone I know bought that A6000 when it went on sale these last few months. It was such a good deal it made it almost impossible to buy any other APS-C camera. I recommended it to maybe three people who…

  • The Monkey Baby And The New Year

    The Monkey Baby And The New Year

    2016 will be the year of the Monkey according to the Chinese calendar, so for our holiday card this year we ended up dressing our little one up as a monkey. This is the shot we ended up using for the card although I did manage to get a few more good ones.

  • Rainbow Bridge – Part 2

    Rainbow Bridge – Part 2

    Here are a few more shots of the Rainbow Bridge in Long Beach. It’s been such an insanely busy year with the new child that I’ve hardly had time to shoot or even publish photos I’ve been taking.

  • Sony E-Mount Ultra Wide Lens Comparison

    I’m still working on Samyang vs Voigtlander vs Sony ultra wide lens comparison and want to make it really good but that takes time and I’ve been busy. There are so many variable to get right with a lens comparison like this and I don’t want to be one of those bloggers that blindly throws…
