Creating a Child of Darkness
Ok, well, not for real…just photographically. I occasionally take part in a ‘weekly assignment’ at one of the forums I frequent, where users submit photos on a weekly theme. A winner is picked (though there’s no real prize), but the main thing is to get you thinking outside the box and to try new photographic…

The Night Storm Approaches
I had to work late last night, and on the way home, I stopped downtown for a few minutes for some night shots with the Olympus 75mm f/1.8. I wasn’t really planning anything special, and as I turned to head back to the car, I noticed that in the otherwise clear night, clouds were gathering…

Quick Tip: Photographing Children
A lot of hobbyist photographers take pictures of their kids. In fact, even for those who like shooting landscapes or macro, a lot of people take more pictures of their children than of any other subject. I know that’s certainly the case for me. I love taking pictures of architecture, landscapes, sports, bugs, flowers, etc….but…

Olympus 75mm f/1.8 – First Impressions
My full review of the 75mm f/1.8 is now up. Head over there to take a look! The Olympus 75mm f/1.8 arrived into the Admiring Light studios (i.e, my hands) yesterday. Took it for a short test spin, and it is quite the impressive optic, so far. It’s not perfect, but it’s darn, darn good.…

Finding photos in the shadows
I went downtown for a quick jaunt today. I went to North Bank Park, where I go a lot. I’ve exhausted a lot of the photographic opportunities here, at least when it comes to the cityscape…(though I think it’s impossible to truly exhaust a location…it just gets harder). I got a few nice photos, but…

A surprising lens…
I’ve got the Voigtlander Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 in hand for evaluation (thanks to my friends at LensRentals.com), and I’m running it through its paces at the moment. I will have a full in-depth review sometime in the next week,but for now I just wanted to share a few thoughts. This lens is an all manual…

Pittsburgh Skyline at Night
I was in Pittsburgh for a Pirates game, and took a few minutes to hop up on top of Mount Washington and get some shots of the skyline at dusk. Glad to have the IS in the body of the E-M5, as I didn’t have a tripod with me. Was able to get this shot…
