• Review: Olympus 15mm f/8 Body Cap Lens

    This past fall, Olympus announced a rather interesting lens…the smallest lens yet for the Micro 4/3 system, and one of the smallest interchangeable lenses ever made.  This optic?  The 15mm f/8 body cap lens.  This tiny lens/body cap is classified by Olympus as an “accessory” rather than a true lens, and the lens doesn’t carry…

  • A Window to Life

    I’ve not had much time to shoot the past week or two, so I forced myself to find something to shoot right when I got home.  Looked around my yard and driveway for a moment, and found this little clover struggling to find a foothold on some detritus smashed into the manhole cover in my…

    Review: Sony DSC-RX100

    Sony has been making a splash recently with its small camera offerings. While I’ve never previously been a fan of Sony’s compact digital cameras due to their horrible sensors, they’ve done some amazing things with their SLRs and later their excellent NEX line of cameras.

  • Evening Fog on the City

    Was at work late last night, and stopped very quickly on the way home for a few shots, as a fog had settled over the city.  Just snagged my OM-D with the tiny Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 pancake, and got some nice shots.  Hope you enjoy! (Click any image to enlarge)

  • “Full Frame Equivalence” and Why It Doesn’t Matter

    With smaller than 35mm sized sensors, you will often hear talk of a camera’s or lens’ “full frame equivalent” focal length or aperture.

    Review: Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN

    Sigma has been around for over 50 years, and they’ve been primarily known as a third-party manufacturer of SLR lenses, though they’ve also made their own SLR cameras and some high end compact cameras as well. Over the past decade, they’ve started to make some very high-end glass. Recently, they dipped their toes into the…

    It’s a new year….

    And you may have noticed that it’s been a bit quiet around here.  Don’t worry, there is a LOT coming in the next few weeks.  I should have my full reviews of the Sigma 19mm f/2.8 and Olympus 15mm body cap lens up shortly, and I just received the Sony RX100 large sensor compact for…

  • My Favorite Photos of 2012

    My Favorite Photos of 2012

    Every year, I think it’s a good exercise for every photographer to go back through the shots they’ve taken and see what kind of a photographic year it’s been for them.  For instance, I felt 2011 to be one of the biggest years of growth in my photography since I started.  2012 was a little…
