    Review: Sony A7R IV

    Sixty-One Megapixels.  That’s the headline that accompanies almost every mention of Sony’s newest full-frame mirrorless camera, the A7R IV.  The A7R series has always been Sony’s flagship body for landscape and high image quality work, and the fourth generation bumps the resolution of the sensor from 42.7 megapixels to a whopping 60.1, which somehow gets…

  • Abstracts with Dry Ice

    Abstracts with Dry Ice

    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…

    Review: MindShift BackLight 18L

    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)

    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

    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

    A Fall Morning Along Tinker’s Creek

    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

    Review: Voigtländer 12mm f/5.6 Ultra Wide Heliar

    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…
