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.

Small camera, big picture, originally uploaded by john m flores. Canon G10 does a two page, full-color spread in the latest issue of RoadRUNNER Magazine. Not bad for a camera you can fit in your cargo shorts…

Still from Kenney Interview, originally uploaded by john m flores. Ten years ago, getting a clean 2 megapixel still image was a technical challenge. I’m now getting quality like this at 24FPS. Pretty crazy…

Beneath the dogwood, originally uploaded by john m flores. In the few short months of owning the GH2, I’ve become a regular over at Mu-43.com, a discussion forum for Micro Four-Thirds. It’s a really good group of folks – a mix of seasoned pros that have added M43 to their dSLR kit and younger folks…

First time birding, originally uploaded by john m flores. The Panasonic 100-300 is the longest lens I’ve ever owned or used by a good margin, so I thought that I’d try doing what many are considering this lens for – birding.

Lawn furniture, originally uploaded by john m flores. One of the myths of M43 is that the sensor is so small that you can’t really get out-of-focus areas. In the kingdom of bokeh, medium format is king, followed by full-frame/35mm, APS-C, M43. Truth told, I was skeptical as well when I first got the camera,…

Dogged wood, originally uploaded by john m flores. So last year the dogwood in the front yard didn’t bloom. We were kind of bummed because it’s really pretty when it does, and I’ve used it as a subject to test a number of cameras and lenses – my old Nikon D70 with a 50mm F1.4,…

Chair. Stair. Rosary., originally uploaded by john m flores. Panasonic GH2 with a Pentax DA70 F2.4 Limited via a Fotodiox adapter. ISO3200. This is a pretty nice performance. No NR applied in post. Similar shots at ISO6400 and ISO12800 show much greater blotchiness in the color and reduced dynamic range/greater contrast. This was shot at…
