Two Cameras , Two Lenses : Pistons on the Square
It was the third Saturday in August and it was time to load up some camera gear and make the drive from Leander to Georgetown, Texas. If you have been here before, you will know that I make that drive to shoot cars and people every third Saturday of the month. It’s been very warm…
Pistons on the Square – Georgetown, Texas July 2026
I took two digital cameras to Pistons on the Square on July 18, 2026. One was the Nikon D850 with the Tamron 15-30mm wide angle zoom. The other camera was the Leica Q3 43 with the fixed 43mm Summicron APO lens. I enjoy shooting with each camera, but the Leica is my first choice, primarily…
Intro to NX Studio & Picture Control Utility
You can access and use free software from Nikon to edit Nikon raw images and also add or modify film profiles while shooting and later while editing. The editor is called NX Studio and it runs on Windows or MacOS computers. The Film profiles are accessed and can be added using the Nikon Picture Control…
Film at 10, 2 and 4 – Black and White
Photos from a Leica M6 with a Voigtlander lens and Ilford HP+ film. Let each picture be worth 1000 words. That means I don’t need to say anything else. Enjoy…
In the Spirit – Keeping Film Alive
I have been trying to reduce (not eliminate, just make fewer) the number of film cameras that I keep on the shelves in my photo room. By the way, the photo room is not a darkroom, simply a spare bedroom that has shelves, and a closet dedicated to cameras and books about photography. I have…
Nikon D3S and Tomioka 21, f/3.5 – Matchless!
Take an old technology camera and an even older lens that almost no one has ever heard of and see what kind of creative spark emerges. That was the goal when I went out shooting the other day. This story is about images taken with the legendary Nikon D3S from 2009 timeframe, and a lens…
Pistons On The Square
The third Saturday of October is five days from now. It’s important to me because every third Saturday, of every month, classic cars from Austin and the surrounding area make the trip to the square in Georgetown, Texas. When the weather is good, cars start arriving before 8AM and by 9AM there are hundreds of…
Experiment with the Fuji X-H2
The Fujifilm X-H2 is a new camera to me and I am still learning the controls and functions. There are many differences from my previous camera the Fuji X-T4. This posting is about using the new camera with an old lens that I just acquired, the Konica Hexar AR 57 1.4, a manual focus lens…
What is an Escaramuza? Think Female Rodeo Queens of Mexico!
We spent the first 10 days of June In San Miguel de Allende – our home away from home. One of the highlights of the trip was going to the Escaramuza on Sunday, June 8. I really didn’t know what to expect – and, I was most pleasantly surprised. Here is a great article I…
Another Day, Another Lens
Two days ago I added pictures from the Fuji/Pentax lens testing. I have a second telephoto lens that I have not used before. This is the Fuji GFX 50S with the Pentax 135 3.5 attached. The package is very light and unassuming, and I think quite versatile for street and portrait photography. I am including…
