Abstracts with Dry Ice

Posted on February 13, 2020 by Jordan Steele

This is going to be a quick post, but I wanted to share a little experiment I did this evening.  My wife had ordered some Jeni’s ice cream in the mail, which ships in a cooler with a block of dry ice to keep it cold during transport, and so I did what anyone would…

My Favorite Photos of 2019

Posted on December 29, 2019December 30, 2019 by Jordan Steele

Every year I like to take a look back at the photos I’ve taken and make a selection of my favorite photos of the year.  They may not be my very best photos, but they are ones that personally resonate with me.  As with any creative pursuit, photography has ebbs and flows of creativity and…

Review: MindShift BackLight 18L

Posted on December 28, 2019December 29, 2019 by Jordan Steele

If you’ve been to the site the past few weeks, you’ve probably seen my recent posts concerning my trip to Death Valley, and a more local trip for some waterfalls at Tinker’s Creek here in Ohio.  When I was gearing up for my trip to Death Valley, I knew that I was going to be…

Review: Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art (Sony E-Mount)

Posted on December 14, 2019April 16, 2020 by Jordan Steele

The 35mm landscape for the Sony E-Mount has a wide array of options to choose from, and it’s become even more crowded with the recent announcements of Sony’s long-awaited FE 35mm f/1.8, and Sigma’s brand-new ultra-fast 35mm f/1.2 FE, not to mention Tamron’s new 35mm f/2.8.  However, at the fast f/1.4 aperture, there are three…

A Trip to Death Valley

Posted on November 9, 2019 by Jordan Steele

This past week, I had the opportunity to head to southern California for my cousin’s wedding.  After the wedding, I stuck around for a couple of days and drove up to Death Valley for some photography.  I didn’t have a lot of time, just a day and a half, but tried to make the most…

A Fall Morning Along Tinker’s Creek

Posted on October 25, 2019October 25, 2019 by Jordan Steele

I had a chance to go out yesterday to a nice waterfall and stream nestled in the suburban sprawl of Cleveland, Ohio.  Tinker’s Creek is one of the tributaries of the Cuyahoga River, and the falls are near where an old mill once stood.  Despite the lack of rain in Ohio over the past month,…

Review: Voigtländer 12mm f/5.6 Ultra Wide Heliar

Posted on October 20, 2019October 20, 2019 by Jordan Steele

Cosina, the manufacturer behind the modern Voigtländer brand, has been producing outstanding optics for the Sony E-mount for the last several years. I’ve reviewed several of these lenses, and have been regularly impressed.  Voigtländer has managed to produce high-end manual focus lenses that rival the very well received Zeiss Loxia line in many ways for…

Review: Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD

Posted on September 10, 2019November 9, 2019 by Jordan Steele

Tamron had great success with their first full-frame Sony E-mount lens, the 28-75mm f/2.8. The lens was affordable, had very good image quality, a solid yet lightweight build and made for a very nice alternative to the Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM.  Now they are targeting the ultra-wide zoom segment with the new Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8…
