    Blossoms in the City

    Continuing to try out the effect I detailed in yesterday’s post, I saw the trees in bloom today and tried it out again.  This is a 64 image stitch with my GH2 and Rokinon 85mm f/1.4.  The resulting image was 465 megapixels.  In the full image, you can see each individual blossom in full detail.…

  • Large Sensor Look from a Small Sensor Camera

    One of the great advantages of using a full frame DSLR or even larger formats such such as 645 or even 4×5 view cameras is that there is a shallow depth of field and extreme background blur component that can’t really be matched on smaller formats such as APS-C or Micro 4/3. For portraits or…

  • Frantic and Busy

    Ahh…that time of year…the weather’s getting warmer, the flowers are soon to start to bloom…and I have almost no time to go out and shoot.  Such is life.  I did get to shoot quite a lot of photos last week, but unfortunately, I am not at liberty to post them.  Here’s hoping with the wonderful…

  • Airplanes and Spaceships!

    Ok, it’s not quite as exciting as the title sounds.  I took my daughter to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio today.  Had a nice time.  Unlike a lot of museums, there’s really an opportunity for some interesting photos in this place.  Took my little GX1 and some fast lenses,…

  • Best Unsung Feature of the Panasonic GX1

    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…
