Surprise

A few weeks ago we headed back home to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday.  Her husband successfully surprised her with a gathering of friends and family.  Here is a shot taken from that evening.

You want this?

I’ve been busy traveling the past few days and will continue to be busy throughout the remaining month.  Hopefully, I can at least post a new pic every other day.

Last week, I decided to sell my NEX-7 and move to the new Olympus OM-D.  Both are great cameras but the NEX-7 just doesn’t have the amount of lenses on the market.  Also, I really like the functionality of the OM-D.

Here is one of my first pictures taken with the Olympus OM-D with Panasonic’s 7-14mm lens.  When shooting landscape with this lens there is very little distortion but when you have a subject within inches of the lens you can see that it gives it a unique perspective.

 

What’s next…

We had 2 official birthday parties for our baby girl.  Her birthday was yesterday and we had a fantastic time.  Last weekend we went back home to have a party also, and this pictures was taken after she began experimenting with her cake.  She looks so content and ready for the next big thing.

Where is he?

Most who know me, know my favorite camera to shoot with is my Leica M9-P.  Yesterday, Leica announce a new M series camera called the Leica M Monochrome.  At first, buying a camera that only shoots in black and white may sound a little crazy (especially for the price) but if you are someone who shoots a lot in black and white it makes some sense.  The pictures I’ve seen have been astounding and the ability to shoot at ISO 10000 and still be useable makes it even more interesting (the Leica M9 does not shoot great beyond ISO 800).  I noticed one of Steve Huff’s shots was ISO 2000 and 1/1500 of a second (WOW).  Look forward to reading more about it.

I took this shot lost fall at the Lincoln Memorial. It was dark and I noticed her sitting patiently waiting for someone.
