Long exposure at Sakurai Futamigaura. Not very often are there waves here, but when there are it becomes a popular surf spot. The waves also help create some mood around the rocks, something that's always missing when I come here. 495 23

A pair of fireflies spiral in a final dance. These beetles only live about a week or two in this stage of life before laying their eggs and dying. Then the cycle repeats, Egg, Larva, Pupa (cacoon), Adult. Some firefly eggs are bioluminescent, and some species have a two year long cycle. 180 4
The tide slowly rises at the Floating Torii Gate of Ouo Shrine. This is an awesome little spot in Saga Japan and fairly unknown. By fairly unknown I mean there was maybe 4 other photographers there, rather than the usual 300 like at some of the other Japan hot spots. 487 16

Sony A6400 Review – One Of My Favorite APS-C Cameras

The Sony A6400 is a small lightweight APS-C camera designed for photographers and videographers looking to maximize versatility and image quality without compromising performance.

Built like a tank, the A6400 is one of the best autofocusing cameras out there with some overall really nice specs. 11fps of continuous RAW shooting, 4k 100mbps video and a Tilting screen for selfies or vlogging.

Because Sony omitted IBIS from the A6400, the camera ends up being lighter compared to the A6500 while having a battery that lasts about a full day.

The Sony A7r and Aerial Drone Photography?

Turns out my brother has this sweet little drone. We were messing around with it this weekend with the GoPro and a gimbal and it should be strong enough to hold a Sony A7r. Just working on waiting for or discovering an affordable gimbal. (A Gimbal is a little mount for the camera that stabilizes it.) When that happens we're going to have a lot of fun. 

He currently uses for work to shoot video / photos of custom landscapes for rich peoples homes. Might be fun to get some Sony A7r landscape shots from 200 feet as well. We'll know soon!

Some more photos with the Sony A7r from this weekend!

Loving the image quality of the Sony A7r with that 35mm Zeiss lens the more I use it. This of Nils flying the GoPro with his drone. I didn't get any good shots of the drone, but it's a good one. Not big one with 8 propellers but the bigger one with 4.

You can see a rare glimpse of how we have to cope with those harsh California winters.

Dream At The San Clemente Pier

Went to the San Clemente Pier today with my little nieces. Got some fun shots of them just being ridiculous and the Sony A7r made it all the more fun. I think it's actually more of the lens that makes this thing look so amazing. 

Sony was smart to bundle this thing with Zeiss lenses, makes their cameras appear better compared to the competition. And if you ever do get an A7 or A7r, you have to get that Zeiss 35mm lens. It's just so dang amazing. I also love the little screen that pops out, makes getting those low angle shots 100x easier, especially when shooting children.

San Clemente Life

San Clemete Life. A rare and amazing sunset in San Clemente California.

A rare and beautiful sunset at the San Clemente Pier last Sunday. This photo almost didn't happen. I didn't have my tripod base plate for my camera and I was running a bit late to the beach. Luckily a parking spot pop up immediately when I got there and I ended up using my Gorilla Pod mini tripod to stabilize the camera. 

I mounted my camera to the Gorilla Pod and then wrapped that around the top of my tripod. It was ghetto and very difficult to stabilize since those things aren't all that sturdy with a 5Dmkii and a 24-70mm f2.8L lens. I ended up actually switching to my 16-35mm because it's way lighter. But in the end it all worked out. I was able to get a few different exposures that I later stitched together in Photoshop.
