Owen Beach

I was going for an old retro look today. The sun was high overhead and lighting was harsh. I grabbed my Fuji X-T2 and 7artisans 35mm f/1.2 lens. Shot everything in manual mode, and then edited in VSCO to look like old expired film.

Olive Branch Cafe and Tea Room and Dorky’s with the Ricoh GR III – First Outing

This was my first outing with the Ricoh GR III. I’ve been in the market for a compact camera for a while – since all my other cameras and lenses are quite large. While my iPhone Xs Max does great in a pinch, it’s no substitute for a dedicated camera. What appealed to me about ...

Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4 Review – South Beach Miami Day 2

This was my first outing with the Nikon Z6 and 24-70mm f/4 lens. It’s quite a decent kit lens, but I wouldn’t go out and buy it by itself. It’s really nothing more than a kit lens to be used for travel and casual photography. To that end, it does just fine. Since the widest ...

South Beach Miami – Day 1

I was getting inconsistent exposure results shooting with ...

Second Annual End of Summer BBQ with Shane and Janine

The light was getting low, so I shot most of these images at f/2, a high ISO – a lot at 6400 (which is problematic for the M262), and slow shutter speeds. One thing that I’m getting used to when shooting the Leica rangefinders,  is that some of the best images aren’t always sharp. Many ...

Georgetown Seattle with the Leica 28mm and 75mm Summicron Lenses

Thanks Grandma Marmie! For the first time all year, my wife and I got to go out for an overnighter without the kids. We headed up to Seattle to go to Georgetown and see a show in downtown Seattle. Every photo here was shot with the 28mm f/2 (except when marked otherwise), and edited on ...
