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.

Cold and rainy weekends

After work last week, I spent some time - where else?

Nikon D700 & old Nikkor 70-210 f/4

The new $15,000,000 (overpriced, un-needed, good-mainly-for-businesses) parking garage going up does have some interesting moments. I use my 70-210 Nikkor on the D200 and voila Its a 315mm lens!

Sometimes the weather and all sorts of other stuff combine to drive what I can shoot. I went to a track meet, but it looked like rain after an hour, so I only shot a couple of events.

Nikon D700 & Sigma EX 70-200 2.8

Since my Sigma 105 macro lens is off to repair, when I got home I used the same lens as for the track meet (Sigma 70-200 2.8) to shoot some little candies and pots I have been saving for tabletop shots. From leaping runners to close-up tabletop shots -- this lens is my most versatile; it's fast and sharp like a razor at every distance. Heavy as hell too.
