    OM-System OM-3: I’m Confused

    Today, OM-System announced their new vintage aesthetic mirrorless camera, the OM-3. This is a relatively high-end Micro 4/3 camera with a design style meant to mimic the Olympus OM-1 from the 1970s, and aesthetically, it absolutely works. The camera is beautiful, with a solid metal body with wonderfully knurled dials and that classic looking viewfinder…

  • Fall Shooting in Ohio

    Fall Shooting in Ohio

    Every October I try to take a least a day or two to go shooting and capture some of the fall colors. This year was tough due to some quite busy days at work, but I managed to get out a couple times towards the end of October. I make a trip up to Cleveland,…

  • Revisiting the Canon EOS 30D

    Revisiting the Canon EOS 30D

    2024 marks 20 years of serious photography for me, as I acquired my first serious camera, the original Canon Digital Rebel, in November of 2004. At the time, that camera opened up a new world of serious imaging that I had never before experienced, and it’s really when I began to grow as a photographer.…

    Review: Nikon Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S

    400mm prime lenses have long been staples of any good lens system. Most manufacturers have a top-tier 400mm f/2.8 in their lineup that usually goes for well into 5 figure cost territory and deliver incredible image quality. Few manufacturers, though, have bothered to make 400mm primes that are a little slower. Canon made the EF…

    Mini-Review: Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4

    Today I’m taking a quick look at the brand new Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4. This is a unique lens in the Nikon lineup, bringing extra speed to the 35mm focal length, but is not one of Nikon’s S-Line premium lenses. This lens has caused some confusion among Nikon shooters as it comes in 2/3…

  • Review: Nikon Zf

    Review: Nikon Zf

    For the past ten to fifteen years, the market for retro-styled cameras has become quite strong. This began in earnest with Fujifilm’s very well received X100 in 2010, which has now had 6 revisions and is sold out everywhere. Later in 2013, Nikon released the Nikon Df – a retro-styled DSLR that saw some success…

  • A Trip to Italy

    A Trip to Italy

    In early June, I had the opportunity to head back to Europe for the first time in quite a while (nearly 9 years). My family and I went on a two week trip through Italy. It had been nearly 20 years since I’d last been to Italy, and so I was excited to get back.…

    Experiencing a Total Solar Eclipse

    Like many people across the United States, I got a chance to experience a total solar eclipse yesterday, April 8, 2024. The path of totality ran very close to my home. I wasn’t able to travel to see the total eclipse in 2017, so I was extremely excited to get the opportunity to witness this…

  5. That’s correct. I’ve been using Gordy’s straps on my cameras for around a decade now. Love them!
