[This is the first post in a series. The second, “The Case Against APS-C” can be found here. The third, “The Case Against Micro Four-Thirds“, can be found here. “The Case Against 1″ Sensors” can be found here.] Let’s get one thing out of the way – full-frame cameras off better image quality than APS-C, Micro Four-Thirds,…

I’ve been thinking of selling off some gear, including some more Micro Four-Thirds stuff. I shot them a lot last year but they’ve pretty much sat on the shelf this year – about 3,000 photos, 700 of which were testing the disappointing 3D lens with a time lapse. The exposure range (thanks Ctein) of the…

A bit of shameless self promotion here…actually it’s as much about Pentax cameras as it is about me, because Pentax has a lineup of cameras that fits my needs to a T. The Feb 2013 issue of RoadRUNNER Magazine is out, and the cover features a photo that I took with a Pentax K-5 with…

Website The Photo Brigade recently featured the camera gear that I take on my motorcycle trips… In My Bag – by John Flores | The Photo Brigade

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…

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.
