  • Via Flickr:At least Alex thinks so. That’s pretty cool. My last point-and-shoots would run out of steam at ISO400. This much maligned little fella is pumping out pretty clean ISO800 and very usable ISO1600. I’ll admit that like everyone else I balked at the sensor size and the launch price, but at current prices I…


  • It’s just one tomato, actually, but “A Tale of One Tomato Photographed a Number of Times” just didn’t roll off the tongue. So here’s a couple of shots with the Pentax Q. Here’s the first one: This is 1/6s @ F2.5. I’m bracing the camera against the countertop, but still, this isn’t bad – you…

  • In the past I’ve dismissed the K-01 as a serious video tool, but I was glad that it shoots video at all when I stumbled into this: Street Musicians, Tadoussac, Quebec from john flores on Vimeo. It was dark and getting darker quickly as I enjoyed the street music. I started shooting at 8:55. I…
