Going Cinematic | Sony A7r III

With the crazy resolution of the Sony A7r III, I thought it would be fun to try out some photos with the 2.35 cinematic crop. I’ve done this in the past with my landscape photography using a 3:1 or 2:1 crop, but I’ve never done it with anything casual and the results are very cool…
Exploring Santa Monica Pier | X100F

This weekend my little two-year old daughter and I walked down to the train station for an evening down at the Santa Monica Pier. I’ve lived in Los Angeles for over 10 years now and this was my first time using public transportation. A very proud moment for me.
New Sony A7r III Color Science IS Beautiful

I’ve heard rumors the new Sony A7r III has improved the way it handles colors but have never really seen any samples. When the Sony A7rIII arrived it was the first thing I noticed, and wow!
A Weekend With The Fam | Fujifilm X-T2

Of course when I talk about family I’m referring to my Fujifilm X-T2 and X-Pro2, but I guess my natural family was there too. They’ve actually been all over the place these last few months, busy getting houses fixed, traveling, working etc. We finally had a chance to all meet up after something like 5…
A Walk In The Park | Kamlan 50mm f1.1

I’ve picked up a few new lenses this year and it seems like I now have an endless option of focal lengths, looks, and types of lenses to choose from. For the first time, I think I might have a lens for just about everything. – Well except for zoom lenses. I just can’t stand…
Beverly Hills – The Last Oasis

Wow, ok, so let me talk about Beverly Hills for a little bit since I live fairly close to this place. Actually, my wife works down the street from here and while she was working last Saturday, I decided to take a walk with the stroller so my little 2-year-old could take a nap -…
Hands On The Helios 44M-7

I’ve been shooting with and collecting quite a few of these old retro M42 screw mount lenses and now own four of the Russian made Helios lenses. The addiction is real!
Cruising With The Industar 50mm F3.5

Earlier this year I did a review of the Industar 50mm f3.5 50-2 Russian built lens. It’s a vintage lens that comes in an M42 mount. It’s a full frame or 35mm lens so it works on cameras like the Sony A7rII, but it performs really well on these APS-C cameras like the Fujifilm X-T2.
A Juneau Excursion – Alaska

My family and I took the seven-day Princess cruise from Vancouver to Alaska. That was a week ago and we’ve been traveling through Alaska since. With spotty cell service and often no free Internet, this is the first chance I’ve had to post.
Mastering Manual Focus | Fujifilm XT2

Lately I’ve been shooting quite a bit with the Helios 44-2 and other old vintage m42 manual focus lenses from the 80’s. While shooting with manual lenses takes more time and isn’t always as precise, it’s much more rewarding and you feel like you have complete control of every shot you take.
