It’s been a little while since my last article, but be assured: I’ve got lots in the pipeline (including a review of the Panasonic GX7). Today I’m going to touch on something I think is very important for photographers who shoot outdoors, and that’s getting to really know a location. It’s especially important to know…

First Sign of Fall
While the leaves have not yet begun to turn in earnest yet, the occasional tree here and there is slowly changing color and dropping a few leaves. Spotted this partially turned leaf that had fallen into a puddle, creating a beautiful splash of color. This was taken with my Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Voigtländer…
The Lone Tree
As I was driving yesterday, I drove through some heavy rain, and after it cleared, I noticed the clouds were simply awesome: tons of contrast and waves.

Waiting at the Platform
I took about 15 minutes today to finally get out and shoot just a little bit, since I have been working non-stop at home and work. It’s been a while. Anyway, there was a great blue heron just waiting along the river dock….and he made quite a striking subject (click to enlarge):

I’m working on a rather long in-depth post at the moment, but it’s going to take me a day or two to finish it up. In the meantime, here are some butterflies, taken at the Franklin Park Conservatory, here in Columbus. Click to enlarge:
Chicago Harbor
I was in Chicago this week for business, and had a little (though not a lot) of time to go out and take a few shots. I haven’t processed everything from the trip, but I thought I’d show two from the harbors along Lake Michigan. The first is the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse, which was built…
A Quick Walk Around Ohio State
I stopped by the Ohio State campus on the way home from work today and took about a 45 minute walk down to the Horseshoe, and back, and took some shots with the Fuji 14mm f/2.8. What an incredible lens this is. Extremely sharp, well built…a joy to shoot with. Stay tuned for a bunch…
