  • Best Unsung Feature of the Panasonic GX1

    As some of you may have read in my review of the Panasonic GX1, it has a small pop-up flash that can be held back to provide bounce flash for more flattering light.  When I wrote the review, I hadn’t yet really explored all the abilities of this little feature, as I tend to use…

  • Pastel Petals

    Just a quick photo.  Grabbed the camera and shot this of the flowers I got my wife for Valentine’s day last week.  Used off camera flash from behind to give a little glow.

  • Finally Stopping in Firestone Alley

    I’ve driven past Firestone Alley in Columbus several times before.  It’s a little street in the Arena District, just west of Huntington Park, where the Columbus Clippers, the AAA affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, play. This little place is home to the Buggy Works, a residential and office space that they built around this alley.…

  • Photos at the Ohio Statehouse

    Photos at the Ohio Statehouse

    I swung by the Ohio Statehouse yesterday for about 10 minutes, just with my GX1 and Olympus 12mm f/2.  This is a great place to shoot…open to the public of course, and with excellent architecture.  Grabbed some quick shots and I was rather satisfied.  Even when feeling swamped and with a dreary day overall yesterday,…

  • Finding Abstract Beauty

    One of the things that I love about photography is finding beauty in line and form, especially in finding a view or perspective in objects that most people will pass by.  I especially love this when shooting architecture or travel photography. It is really a fun way to explore a place that I may have…
