Butterflies!
I’m working on a rather long in-depth post at the moment, but it’s going to take me a day or two to finish it up. In the meantime, here are some butterflies, taken at the Franklin Park Conservatory, here in Columbus. Click to enlarge:
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…

Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8
Olympus has been focusing on the higher end with their lens releases over the past two years, and this trend continues with the release of the M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8. With a fast aperture and a field of view like the classic 35mm lens on full frame, this is a lens that has been desired for…
