I could barely contain my excitement this morning. It’s not everyday that one heads so eagerly into the office… but knowing something special was coming in the mail for me made it that much sweeter. Ever since buying my X-Pro1, I’ve been looking forward to Fuji releasing its 35mm lens equivalent. So I ordered the 23mm … Continue reading

X-junior
A couple months ago, I made an unnecessary purchase. I wanted a mid-size camera to keep in my work bag and take with me everywhere. The 5D is obviously too big, and the X-Pro1 doesn’t work either (I’m too protective). Because I already own a small point and shoot, there was no pressing reason for me … Continue reading
Thoughts on my Canon 100mm
I finally decided to buy my first macro lens about six months ago. I chose the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM, a lens I’m growing increasingly fond of after each use. It’s also a lens with a rather steep learning curve, at least for me. Perhaps that’s only true because I had zero macro experience before buying this piece … Continue reading
Point and Shoot – Sony DSC-WX80
A while ago I decided I wanted to get a new point-and-shoot camera, particularly one with Wi-Fi capability. I’ve also been wanting to try out a compact from Sony for some time now… in fact I was torn between a NEX and my X-Pro (although I have zero regrets). I ended up buying a DSC-WX80. I … Continue reading
Playing with infrared
I recently bought a Hoya 52mm Infrared RM72 lens filter to go along with my Fuji X-Pro1 and 35mm. Since it’s a mirrorless camera, it can be used for infrared photography right out of the box, but with some additional hardware modifications, the camera can be turned into an infrared powerhouse. Obviously I’m still a lightweight when it comes to infrared – … Continue reading
Taking my pancake out for a spin
I recently bought a Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM lens for my 5D Mark III. I’m trying to avoid buying any glass for it that isn’t L-class, but I really wanted this little lens – it makes my dSLR a lot more compact, and it cost less than $150. On Friday, I finally decided to try … Continue reading
My baby: Fuji X-Pro1 (and the 35mm)
I just recently started getting into photography. It’s not an easy hobby on one’s wallet, especially when you’re dealing with Canon and want to buy top of the line glass. Luckily for photo enthusiasts who want to take nice pictures, but aren’t willing or able to spend thousands of dollars for a full dSLR kit, … Continue reading
Just getting started…
I’ve been thinking about doing it for a while, but I finally started a photography website. It wasn’t easy and the end result is far from ideal. But it’s a start, and I’m relatively happy with it for now. I’ve always liked taking pictures, especially when it’s something different or someplace new. But my interest … Continue reading
