It’s been a little while since my last article, but be assured: I’ve got lots in the pipeline (including a review of the Panasonic GX7). Today I’m going to touch on something I think is very important for photographers who shoot outdoors, and that’s getting to really know a location. It’s especially important to know…

First Sign of Fall
While the leaves have not yet begun to turn in earnest yet, the occasional tree here and there is slowly changing color and dropping a few leaves. Spotted this partially turned leaf that had fallen into a puddle, creating a beautiful splash of color. This was taken with my Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Voigtländer…
Some Butterflies with the Olympus E-P5

Fuji 60mm Thoughts
It has been an insane few weeks. Working on my house in the evenings and work during the day, I’ve had very little time to shoot or write. I just wanted to post a few thoughts real quick on the Fuji 60mm f/2.4. I got the 60mm f/2.4 after sending back my 18-55, which had…
