• Shooting the Supermoon

    Last night, I got ready for bed and was ready to turn off the light when I remembered that last night was the night of the so-called ‘supermoon.’  That is, when the moon is full at its perigee (the closest point of its orbit). When these factors combine, the moon appears 12-14% larger and brighter…

  • Trying out Handheld Night Shooting with the OM-D

    Took the OM-D out for a quick spin of night shooting this evening on the way home from work, sans tripod.  The in-body IS was rather astounding, and enabled me to keep the ISO relatively low even with a little longer lens.  This shot of the Main St and Town Street bridges in Columbus, was…

  • Ready for Launch!

    This African Grey Parrot puffed up and I thought he was going to fly right at me.  Maybe he had something against the big lens pointed at his face.

  • Olympus OM-D E-M5 Hands-On Preview

    Today I got a chance for a brief time to handle Olympus’ new flagship Micro 4/3 camera, the E-M5, which is positioned in the brand new OM-D line, a callback to the OM system of the 1970s and 1980s.  The new camera is styled in a very similar vein to those cameras, but is also…

  • More Wildlife…

    Just thought I’d share a few more pictures from our wonderful zoo.  I’m quite enjoying shooting with a long lens again, and the FD 50-300mm f/4.5L, while sometimes challenging due to having to use manual focus, is giving me the look I want with these.  Just a few more samples for your enjoyment.

  • Samsung releases NX20, NX210 and NX1000

    Today, Samsung expanded its line of mirrorless Compact System Cameras (CSC) with three new models, the NX20, NX210 and NX1000.  All three feature a 20 Megapixel APS-C sensor and wi-fi connectivity, which could be very exciting.  Aside from that, they differ a little.  Unfortunately, the sensor is the same one used in the NX200, which…

  • A Sunday Trip to the Zoo

    I took a trip to the Columbus Zoo with my daughter today.  It was a beautiful day in Central Ohio, and I had a wonderful time with her, and enjoying photographing the animals.  I brought my trusty (but heavy) Canon FD 50-300mm f/4.5L lens on my GH2.  With the 2x crop factor of micro 4/3,…
