There’s nothing like a deadline to focus the mind. I’ve got one looming, so I better step away from the blog. But before I go, some picture for an upcoming story – a motorcycle trip from Las Vegas to Sturgis SD. These are from Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado:Pentax K-01 with DA 10-17 Fisheye…

Tiny tripod (Manfrotto Pocket Series) for tiny camera (Pentax Q). This should be useful for tabletop shots and whatnot. The tiny feet fold inward for easy storage. I love little cool things like this.

We cross an ocean of grain in the mid-summer heat of one of the hottest years on record. In other words, it’s hot and there’s no place to hide. The road is a thick rubber band stretching from horizon to horizon and we’re in the company of other pilgrims on their way to Sturgis. Wyoming…

In some ways, capturing candids of family members is really hard. The low light of most houses forces you to push the ISO and open up apertures, which slices down the depth of field which in turn taxes AF systems. And the truth is, some family members can get downright ornery when you point a…

Something’s missing from this photo. Can you guess?

…but there are voices inside my head saying that Pentax will put a full-frame sensor in the K-02. 24Mp. FTW.

Back in the day – in 2007 i think (my memory of those long gone days are faded) – I paid a princely sum for a little Ricoh GX100 point-and-shoot. With a tiny 10 megapixel sensor and a 24-70mm zoom, it was my backup camera on many motorcycle trips. It was unusual in that it…

Found this one while stumbling through this year’s archives. I’ve taken nearly 40,000 photos this year – my biggest year to date. Granted, there was a bunch of time lapse in there, but that’s still a massive number. This was taken earlier in the year with a camera I no longer possess, the Panasonic GF2…

Went to PhotoPLUS a couple of months ago to speak to manufacturers about cameras for motorcycle touring. Sony chose to show off the RX100, a camera most of you know about and might even drool a bit over. Here’s what they had to say: Shooting video in a convention center (Jacob Javits in NYC) is…
