  • A Cold Evening

    For the first time in a long time, I really got a chance to go out and shoot for a bit.  I went downtown after work and got some shots of the sunset and the city at night.  I’m very much a proponent of the ‘gear doesn’t make the shot’ crowd, but on evenings like…

  • The City at Dusk

    Tonight on the way home from work, I stopped to capture this. The sun was nearly below the horizon and the sky was overcast, but just enough sunlight remained to give a kiss of light to the windows of the city.

  • Grains on a Petal

    I know it’s been a long time since my last post.  I have been swamped at work and have had very little time to shoot or write.  I forced myself to take a few pictures today, though.  My wife had gotten some flowers a few days ago and I used them as a little subject.…

  • A Gorilla Portrait (and more)

    I went to the zoo for about an hour yesterday. Just a quick jaunt to get some walking in and snap a few photos.  It being cool, with kids in school and in the mid afternoon on a Friday, there weren’t a lot of people.  One benefit to that was having the gorilla exhibit more…

  • First Impressions of the Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro

    First Impressions of the Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro

    Got the Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 Macro yesterday, and while I haven’t had a ton of time to shoot yet, I thought I’d give you my first impressions. First off, it’s a very skinny lens. Same length as the 12-50 kit zoom, but skinnier. It’s also heavier than the kit lens, so it feels a…

  • Storm Clouds over Columbus

    This is a shot from late last week.  We had a storm roll through the city quickly.  It was small, but dumped a lot of rain.   The clouds were some of the tallest I’d ever seen.  Made for a dramatic shot over one of the highways, with the haze making it almost look like some…
