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.
Rainbow Bridge Long Beach – XT1

I haven’t been spending enough time with my Fujinon 10-24mm since it got back from repair. It really is a fun lens to use, especially for landscapes. My only gripe is who ever repaired it left a giant piece of dust on the inside of the rear element that screams at me when shooting anything…
Fujifilm JPEG With The Raw Converter

There is a new workflow I’ve been experimenting with. I know on my Fujifilm X100T review and various other articles I mention how good Fujifilm JPEG is and how I often shoot Raw+JPEG or just JPEG and have recommended other photographers to do the same. Well this week I started on something new; shooting just…
Chasing Light – Fujifilm X100T

Just about every evening I have to play this game with the sun as it chases Kalina around the house. No where is safe as it can somehow bend around any corner of our living room. This time I decided to take advantage of this light with my X100T and shoot some living room photography…
A Season With Photography

I’m on a photography lockdown right now. My main laptop died this weekend and then my main photo editing drive died as I was moving files around to be able to work on my old MacPro. So I’m stuck until I fix my MacBook Pro and until my Drobo comes this week. Recovering the hard…
Los Angeles And The Observatory – Canon 5DSR

This is a quick shot of the Observatory. I wanted to test out the Canon 5DSR so I hiked up the mountain overlooking Los Angeles. This was my first time up and wow, what a view! If you ever visit Los Angeles this is something you must do. Just bring a long lens. I shot…
Tongva Park – Sony A7r II

I’ve passed through the Tongva park a few times while on my way to shoot the Santa Monica Pier, but never actually shot here. I would always see these lookout structures and thought they might be cool to shoot through. So a few nights ago, I finally made an attempt to come here but unfortunately,…
Summer Waves – Sony A7rII

Some of the strangest weather I’ve experienced in Southern California this last week. We were driving south on the 405. It was 100 degrees outside, and then 10 minutes later, it was 75 degrees and raining. Usually, when we experience this crazy weather, we also experience insane sunsets. I’m glad I was able to make…
A New Life – My Firstborn

The day my daughter was born, shot on the Sony A7rII. It exciting, exhausting, but amazing we have such awesome cameras today.
A Potential Game Changer

Another portrait photo was taken of my niece in the park. Shot on the legendary Fujifilm X100T. So . . . something amazing happened today which may or may not influence how much I’m using my Fujifilm system. The Sony A7rII arrived in my mailbox. I know you would think, “oh he’s got the Sony…
