A photo and lighting place! Here I'll post some stuff I've shot in the process of learning.

Since my move to Fujifilm equipment (WAY sharper & MUCH better than my old Nikon gear) , I now shoot with two Fuji X-E2 bodies and the NEW X-T2 from Sherry on my birthday!


* Fujinon XF10-24 f/3.5-4.8 R (SHARP across the range!)
*
Fujinon XF18-55 f/2.8-4.0 R (SHARP across the range!)
* Fujinon XF60 f/2.4 (SHARP across the range!)
* Fujinon XF55-200 f/3.5-4.8 R (Uber SHARP across the range!)


Flash stuff:
* 6 Yongnuo 560-IV with commander/transmitter.
* 6 Nikon SB-25/26/28s (old, manual, reliable, nice),
* (6) Pocket Wizard and (6) Yongnuo RF-603 radio flash triggers

And
tons of stands, umbrellas, soft-boxes, brolly boxes, mounts, hot & cold shoes (and some lukewarm ones), cords, spigots, clamps, pocket wizard triggers, reflectors, scrims, backdrops, adapters, snoots, grids, batteries , chargers, bags & cases, gewgaws, clamps, gimcracks, whatchamacallits, doohickeys, thingamajigs, whatnots, widgets, et cetera.

I love to shoot out on the street, but the technical aspects of photography/lighting are fascinating - and sometimes vexing. I am fortunate to shoot with motivated and inquisitive photographers.


I am available for portraits, senior photos & product photography.

Commercially printed copies (up to 24" x 36" of most photos seen here are available on high quality paper or mounted board for framing.

Strobe-on-a-rope

I call it strobe-on-a-rope. That's my Nikon SB800 flash on a ttl cord. I usually hold the camera in my right hand, and the flash in the left (TTL/BL mode, -1/2 stop). Very portable. Often, I'll hold the camera low by my leg in vertical mode, at 24-35MM, and just hold the flash where I want it and shoot blind (without looking in the viewfinder).

Just a quick flash as I walk by.

Cuter'n a bug's ear.

All the above shot with D700, Sb800 and Sigma 24-70 2.8.


There was a 5K benefit run in Columbia, starting and ending at Flat Branch Park. I went to take a few shots and have breakfast with Brian & Mallory.
