Taken with the Nikon 1 V1 with the 1 Nikkor VR 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 @ 35mm, 1/60s, f/9.0, ISO360. Consistent with the Photozone reports (www.photozone.de/nikon1/700-1nikon301103856v1), this longer zoom is a bit soft at the long end but quite nice at intermediate focal lengths. It’s still kit-zoomish in its overall quality; there no apparent magic pixie dust in…

Red Ruffed Lemur Contemplates, originally uploaded by john m flores. He’s probably thinking, "I wish someone would come over and groom me, as this black fur is a PITA to keep clean." Taken with the Panasonic GH2 mated to the Lumix G Vario 100-300/F4.0-5.6 @ 300mm, 1/40s, f7.1, ISO1600. The in-lens image stabilization is earning…

A tiger (obviously), taken with the Nikon 1 V1 with the 1 Nikkor VR 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 @ 1/125s, f6.3, ISO640. This is shot through a piece of pretty dirty glass so there are spots where the tiger’s spots are a bit soft. I really wanted to go place an 18% grey card next to the…

Guira Cuckoo @ The Bronx Zoo, originally uploaded by john m flores. Taken with the Nikon 1 V1 with the 1 Nikkor VR30-110 F/3.8-5.6 @ 1/20s, F6.3, ISO800. I did exactly what I tell others not to do – take a new camera into an unfamiliar/challenging situation. As a result, I got a lot of…

It’s in the Bag, Bronx Zoo Edition, originally uploaded by john m flores. Via Flickr:Bringing the longest glass that I have to the zoo, so that means smaller sensors and longer effective focal lengths. The Pentaxes are staying home this time; the longest APS-C glass I have is 135mm (~200mm EQ) and I don’t have…

Gregg and Mike, originally uploaded by john m flores. Via Flickr:Nikon V1, 10mm, 1/30s @ F4.0, ISO400 First night out with the Nikon V1. I was contemplating bringing the Pentax Q since it’s smaller, but I really wanted to play around with the 10mm F2.8 lens and figured that it’s wider FOV (27mm eq) would…

Nate. Again., originally uploaded by john m flores. Nikon 1 V1, 110mm (297mm EQ), F5.6, 1/20s. And so it begins anew. The Pentax Q is nice, but I want faster AF. What drove me to the V1 was the intervalometer, HD video with external mic input and high speed capture (10FPS and faster at lower…

Icarus in Lycra, originally uploaded by john m flores. Lance Armstrong, 2004-07-21 on L’Alpe D’Huez If Lance Armstrong was as clean as he claims, he was one step away from complete and total vindication. One. Step. Away. For a man that beat cancer and fought his way to victory in the Tour de France seven…

Curiosity didn’t have to fly all the way to Mars, Southern Utah would have been far enough.
