    Run!!!!, originally uploaded by john m flores. Via Flickr:That’s my nephew, breaking towards second base with all the velocity his little legs can muster. Gooooo!!!!!!!!! Shot with the Panasonic GH2 mated to the Panasonic 100-300mm F4-5.6 zoom. I was beside the right field foul pole when I took this. These are my first experiments with…

    One sleeping cat and a tale of two cameras, originally uploaded by john m flores. Via Flickr:On the left, the Pentax K-x. On the right, the Panasonic GH2. 100% crops. ISO3200 smackdown! Not much in it if you ask me, both doing a really good job of maintaining the details of fine fur. It is…

    Flash Cat, originally uploaded by john m flores. Via Flickr:So, Nate, if you don’t mind, I’m going to take some flash photos of you while you snooze, and share my impressions of the Metz 50 AF-1. I have a Metz 58 AF-1 for Pentax and have been very happy with it. It is my first…

    Safe Passage, originally uploaded by john m flores. Via Flickr:Cue the nursery rhyme where the daddy’s singing to his little girl. Cue the montage – learning how to ride a bike, first boo-boo, driving friends to pop concert, meeting first boyfriend, learning how to drive, dropping off at college. Cue the big day, walking down…

    Hello. Kitty., originally uploaded by john m flores. Via Flickr:Nate’s looking at me thinking, "Is that the GH1 that you just bought?" Why yes, Nate, it is. I’m still working to get the hang of it. 90% of it is practically identical to the GH2, but it’s that 10% that needs some sussing out. It’s…

    Michel talks corn, originally uploaded by john m flores. Here, in a nutshell, is why I really like the Panasonic 20mm F1.7. At the kinds of working distances you encounter in social situations, the lens creates this nice 3d effect. Here, the lens is stopped down a tad to F2.0. I wish that I could…

    Fuzzy dice, originally uploaded by john m flores. Via Flickr:A languid Friday. June. Somerville NJ. That can only mean one thing. Cruise Night, the night when Main Street turns into a fashion runway, and the latest styles from the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s are rolled out of garages all over the area to converge…

    Japanese Maple, originally uploaded by john m flores. I haven’t been shooting much lately, so apologies for letting the blog lie fallow. Part of the reason – I had to send my GH2 back to Panasonic. A ProSpec SD card got stuck and when I pulled it out with some force a small bit stayed…

    It’s not quite done yet – no website ever is – but I’ve been working on a website to showcase my work. Check it: http://www.johnmflores.com/ What’s cool about it is that the photos are being pulled from sets that I’ve created on Flickr. If I want to change or re-arrange the photos, all I have…
