    Review: Sony A7 III

    The Sony A7 full-frame mirrorless system has now been around for 4.5 years, and while the original A7 was replaced after just a year on the shelf, the A7 II has had much greater staying power. That model was announced in November of 2014, and has enjoyed a nice stay as the ‘basic model’ in…

  • Mini-Review: Canon Powershot G7 X Mark II

    Mini-Review: Canon Powershot G7 X Mark II

    Today I’m taking a quick look at a high-end compact camera. I recently went on vacation with my family to Orlando, Florida, to spend some time taking in the parks at Disney World and Universal Studios. Since this was a family vacation, and not a photographic journey, I didn’t want to carry anything even remotely…

  • Review: Voigtländer 35mm f/1.4 Nokton Classic (E-Mount)

    Review: Voigtländer 35mm f/1.4 Nokton Classic (E-Mount)

    As modern lenses become sharper, with fewer lens aberrations, one byproduct has been the explosion of lens size.  These highly corrected optics require more and more elements, made with special glass types and molding processes.  This is highly evident in the extremely large and heavy Sony/Zeiss FE 35mm f/1.4 and other recent full-frame f/1.4 wide…

  • My Favorite Photos of 2017

    My Favorite Photos of 2017

    Every year, I like to take a look back at the year of shooting and select my favorite photos of the year. 2017 was definitely a down year for me as far as volume of output is concerned, as I had very little time to shoot this year (and even less time to write).  However,…

  • Early Fall in Ohio

    Early Fall in Ohio

    Every fall I like to go do some landscape shooting around Ohio.  We don’t have big mountains, or many sweeping vistas, or an ocean shore.  There’s Lake Erie, but the sun doesn’t rise or set over it.  However, one thing we do have in Ohio is waterfalls and naturally carved gorges, and these make for…

    Review: Sony A9

    I’m finally getting around to writing my review of the Sony A9.  This is going to be a little different from my normal reviews, and is not going to be quite as in-depth as I typically like, as I didn’t get to shoot with it quite as extensively as I often get to with cameras. …

    Review: Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM

    It’s been a long, long break between articles, as I’ve been absolutely swamped at my day job, finding little time to shoot and even less time to write.  I have a backlog of thoughts and images to go through, and today I’m taking a look at Sony’s professional grade telezoom, the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8…
