Samsung NX1 – My First Impressions

The Samsung NX1 is Samsung’s 28-megapixel APS-C camera. It features one of the most advanced APS-C sensors in a camera to date and seems to outperform the competition in almost every way, so I rented one for a week. There are many interesting things about this camera, some good, some bad, but mostly good. Samsung…
The Fuji X-T1 + The Voigtlander 15mm III

I recently picked up the Voigtlander 15mm Heliar III to use with my Sony A7r and the Fuji X-T1. I won’t go too deep into the ins and outs of this lens; I’ll save that for my full review. But here is a quick shot taken with it on the Fuji X-T1. I have to…
A Perfect Day In Southern Japan

We finally had a break in the weather. It’s been stormy and windy because of the typhoon, but yesterday it cleared up for a perfect day. I’m not exactly sure where these rice terraces are on a map, but they were amazing. They extend down into the bay, and to the right, out of frame,…
Fuji X-T1 Sunset At Redondo Beach

I recently added the Fuji X-T1 to my addition of cameras to cherish and love. I’m a camera whore, I know, but I really wanted to get into Fuji lenses to see what they’re like. And a ton of sales are going on with lenses and bodies, so I leaped with the plan to sell it when…
First Photo Processed With Iridient 3 And It Is Sharp!

This is my first photo to be processed with Iridient Developer 3. I finally bit the bullet and bought it after playing with the beta for the last few months. There are many different things this software does that I’m still getting used to, and I want to have it figured out before going into…
Sunset At Pacific Park

It’s not every day we get one of these sunsets in Santa Monica. I’ve shot the Santa Monica Pier many a time but have never seen anything like this before. I’ve actually never seen anything like this before in the many years I’ve been shooting beach photos in Southern California. Only when I lived in…
Fire In The Sky

I just picked up the new Tamron 15-30mm ultra-wide-angle zoom lens and have already had a few great experiences with it. I’ve been working on a detailed review but still need one more day with it before it’s done. Look for that tomorrow or this weekend. So far, I’m only liking it, not loving it.…
The Rental Jeep On The Big Island

Renting a Jeep to take photos with on the Big Island of Hawaii is fun. I rented one for two days to see if those 4 wheel access spots were worth it. They were not. I’m pretty sure those tourist guides and the rental car companies profit from each other. Needing a 4-wheel drive on…
Landscape Photography With The Fuji X100T

When you think of a landscape photography camera, I bet the first thing that comes to mind is a Nikon D800 – or the Sony A7r. Am I right? I bet you never think of Fujifilm. Well, a lot has changed over the years, and now our small little cameras pack a serious punch.
HDR Photography With The Fuji X100T? Yes You Can!

When I first started shooting with the Fuji X100T I noticed the options for shooting HDR photography kind of sucked. +-1EV? Seriously? There is also this other problem, when the shutter is set to auto it will only go as slow as 2 seconds. I knew these Fuji cameras have some potential to shoot some really stunning HDR photography because of…
