    A Huge Array of Micro 4/3 Announcements…

    Wow.  Photokina kicked off this week, and as one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) photography trade shows, it also sees a ton of announcements.  I wanted to get to these earlier, but it’s been crazy busy around here.  For Micro 4/3 users, Monday saw the announced release of no less than three new…

  • Sony announces new NEX-6 camera and new lenses

    Today, Sony made a number of announcements in their imaging division, from a new full-frame SLT camera to a full frame camcorder, to a very expensive full-frame compact camera (I’ll likely follow with some thoughts on that later tonight).  However, for those of us who use predominantly mirrorless cameras, the new NEX-6 and NEX lenses…

  • Storm Clouds over Columbus

    This is a shot from late last week.  We had a storm roll through the city quickly.  It was small, but dumped a lot of rain.   The clouds were some of the tallest I’d ever seen.  Made for a dramatic shot over one of the highways, with the haze making it almost look like some…

  • Creating a Child of Darkness

    Ok, well, not for real…just photographically.  I occasionally take part in a ‘weekly assignment’ at one of the forums I frequent, where users submit photos on a weekly theme.  A winner is picked (though there’s no real prize), but the main thing is to get you thinking outside the box and to try new photographic…

  • Samsung Galaxy Camera – Some thoughts

    Yesterday, Samsung announced their new Galaxy Camera…a full fledged point and shoot with essentially a full fledged smartphone built in (minus the voice calling).  It’s an intriguing idea, and I feel it likely shows functionality that will become more commonplace with cameras going forward.  It’s got a 21x optical zoom lens and a 16.3 MP…

  • Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 ED

    Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 ED

    Olympus has been on a roll lately.  While many of their early Micro 4/3 lens options were decent optically, the build quality was generally lacking and there was a lack of any really stellar optics.  This has all changed since 2011.  Olympus has switched gears somewhat and started catering to the high-end shooter who wants…

  • The Night Storm Approaches

    I had to work late last night, and on the way home, I stopped downtown for a few minutes for some night shots with the Olympus 75mm f/1.8.  I wasn’t really planning anything special, and as I turned to head back to the car, I noticed that in the otherwise clear night, clouds were gathering…

  • Quick Tip: Photographing Children

    A lot of hobbyist photographers take pictures of their kids.  In fact, even for those who like shooting landscapes or macro, a lot of people take more pictures of their children than of any other subject.  I know that’s certainly the case for me. I love taking pictures of architecture, landscapes, sports, bugs, flowers, etc….but…
