20 years ago, I started a second career as a motorcycle journalist, and I’ve been lucky enough to see many of the beautiful places in the world and publishing stories and photos of my adventures. I’ve started documenting my bicycle adventures in a similar fashion, and will be sharing those stories here. Please join me.

More flora from the Flores residence. No flowers though, except for the name. 1/125, f/2.0, ISO400 With a close focus distance that’s a shim under 8.5″, the 18.5mm f/1.8 does a reasonable impersonation of a macro lens. Well, not quite, but it will let those that dabble in the close arts take a pretty picture.…

“Yeah, yeah, yeah….” I can hear you saying, “forget the photos of people and cats and ice on the roof of your car. What we, the collective borg want to know is….can the V1 with the 18.5mm f/1.8 take pictures of food?” You tell me… 1/125s, f/1.8, ISO450 1/125s, f/1.8, ISO800 1/125s, f/1.8, ISO400 And…

Low light/high ISO performance is the new megapickle. Whenever a new camera is announced, one of the first questions is, “How is the high ISO performance?” I’m one of the guilty parties, since I do most of my shooting with available light. And then the sample images come out, followed by the first shots of…

More shots with the Nikon 1 V1 with 18.5mm f/1.8. This time featuring more of the Minolta CLE. I can always count on my brother to have a neat camera or three with him; he spends way to much time shopping! 1/30s, f/4.5, ISO1600 1/80s, f/1.8, ISO800 1/80s, f/1.8, ISO800 These shots have been tweaked…

When the sun hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s a Moire!* There’s just a smidge of color artifacts in the textured surface of my brother’s Olympus OM-D. And along the top edge of the grip too. Hmmm, I never invested the existence or strength of the Nikon V1’s anti-aliasing filter before. I…

So I walk out to the car this morning and Mother Nature has seen fit to place some neat ice sculptures on the roof. After starting the car to warm it up in 9 degree F heat, I grabbed the Nikon 1 V1 and set about capturing some of this pleasant icy surprise. These RAW…
