I lied… I said I was done posting pictures from my trip to Trinidad & Tobago. But there were a few from my Sony point-and-shoot that I felt like sharing. A couple may look familiar to those of you who follow me on Facebook. As you can see, there are a few panorama shots (I … Continue reading
I had a pleasant surprise when I was online last night. I discovered that one of my photos was ‘recently’ featured by the Smithsonian Magazine, winning a “Photo of the Day” recognition back in October. Granted, it’s a small victory, but one that put a big belated smile on my face! For me, this is without precedent. … Continue reading
I haven’t taken the 14mm off my X-Pro1 for a few weeks now. It’s a nice lens and I’d like to think that I’ve been getting some pretty nice shots with it… but I want to get some even nicer ones. Unfortunately, I haven’t been in my best state of mind lately. To make matters … Continue reading
It’s been two weeks since my last ‘random’ post, and although I haven’t been taking as many pictures as I’d like recently, I still wanted to share some of my favorite shots from the past couple weeks. Even if they’re nothing spectacular, I like each one of them for different reasons. They were all taken … Continue reading
The other day I went out with my 5D to shoot some flowers. I was on the hunt for bees… but I had no luck with that. I did walk away with some keepers though, two of which form the foundation of this post. I really love my macro lens and I’ll be writing a long overdue … Continue reading
I’ve had my X-Pro1 for about five months now, and I’d like to think I’ve put it to good use. Up until recently, all I had was the 35mm lens, which I’m very fond of. I’ve been wanting a wider lens for a while, but I was torn between Fuji’s 18mm and the 14mm. The … Continue reading
The other day I took a walk in the park and decided to fire off some infrared shots. There was nothing particular in mind, and the setting was not ideal. Still, I wanted to see how the shots would turn out and what I could do to them. My setup is very basic: Fuji X-Pro1, … Continue reading
I’ve posted several times already on VSCO film emulation, showing examples of the various color presets. This time, I’m showing examples of the B&W presets from all thee packs. There are other +/- variations for most presets shown below, but most of them are grainy or faded. Some people like that look; obviously I don’t. … Continue reading
When I told people I was going to Trinidad, a few of them asked me, “what about Tobago?” Of course, my friends and I always planned on visiting both islands during our trip, but “Trinidad & Tobago” is simply too long a name for any country to have, and I’m too lazy to say the whole thing … Continue reading
I miss having a washer and dryer inside my apartment… After procrastinating for a few days, I went down to the laundry room a little while ago with a basket full of dirty clothes. There was someone already in the room, and he tried opening the door for me, even though it was already open. But … Continue reading
It’s taken me a lot longer than I wanted to post this, and as the title implies, there will be a sequel. I got back from Trinidad 10 days ago. I only spent about 10 hours back home in DC before flying to Colorado. That trip didn’t go so well for me…. and part of … Continue reading
Not that any of you noticed, but I missed a week. Up until now, I had been maintaining a good bi-weekly rhythm with these posts. Every now and then I tend to skip a beat. Don’t hold it against me. These are some of my favorite shots from the past three weeks that haven’t made it into any other … Continue reading
