As some of you may have read in my review of the Panasonic GX1, it has a small pop-up flash that can be held back to provide bounce flash for more flattering light. When I wrote the review, I hadn’t yet really explored all the abilities of this little feature, as I tend to use…
The Future of Casual Photography is Here
Today at Mobile World Congress, Nokia launched their new 808 PureView. It’s a smartphone. A smartphone with a 41 Megapixel camera. I know what you’re thinking. I thought the same thing: Those have got to be the worst 41 megapixels in existence. That’s outright absurd. And then I looked at the images. This thing is…
Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8
Introduction In June of 2011, Olympus announced two new prime lenses for the Micro 4/3 standard: the M.Zuiko 12mm f/2 and the M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8. Today I’m going to take a closer look at the 45mm f/1.8, which I have had the pleasure of shooting with for the past few months. It was quite refreshing…

This little place is home to the Buggy Works, a residential and office space that they built around this alley….
Night Street Photography
One thing I love about my little GX1 and my Olympus 12mm f/2, is that the combo makes for a great wide angle street shooting combination. Even at night. These were taken handheld at ISO 2500 and f/2. Having a capable camera and wide, fast lens, make this kind of shooting possible, and because of…
The Evening Commute
On my way home late from work today, I decided to make a bookend post. You may recall that I posted earlier with motion shots from my car on my morning commute a while back. Well, the vibrant lights of the city at night make for much better evening abstracts. Here are my two favorites.
