  • Storm King Art Park, originally uploaded by john m flores. We now take this moment to remind you what a world with color looks like..


  • Jumping into the deep end (or turning a sow’s ear into something resembling a purse, albeit not made of silk), originally uploaded by john m flores. I recently used the GH2 to shoot some video in a dark pool hall, aided by little more than an LED light. The result can be found here: http://vimeo.com/19075932…


  • It’s been a long long week, originally uploaded by john m flores. I’m starting to think that there’s some special sauce in the Panasonic 20 F1.7 because you can achieve a nice, subtle 3D effect when it’s shot wide open from a certain distance, say 5 to 6 feet. Here, this fellow is pretty sharp…


  • Roland Sands-before and after, originally uploaded by john m flores. One of these days, poor Roland Sands is going to Google his name and find this 100% on the Internets LOL! But for the pixel peepers out there, here’s a closer look at Mr. Sands, and the adjustments I made in Adobe Lightroom 3. As…


  • Victory Highball, originally uploaded by john m flores. The only time I with I had a wider lens was taking photos of the bike. Nobody told me that it would have “apehangers” LOL! One place where purple fringing usually shows up is on the shiny parts of a motorcycle. This bike is black but there…

  • Victory Motorcycle Event at Amsterdam Billiards, NYC, originally uploaded by john m flores. Took the Panasonic GH2 on a challenging assignment the other night – a press introduction of Victory’s new motorcycle at Amsterdam Billiards in New York City. I’ve been to my share of billiard halls and I can tell you that they normally…


  • Ready for his closeup, originally uploaded by john m flores. Enough video for now. Nate’s back, and he’s ready for his closeup…


  • Showing the Panasonic GH2 EVF and a couple of things it does particularly well, namely… A) working with manual focus lenses, and B) chimping without taking the camera away from your eye The EVF isn’t perfect; it really starts to look like grainy video in low light, and the colors seem a little amped. But…


  • I shot this after my snowshoe last weekend. Like RIGHT after, as you can see LOL! Shot in Intelligent Movie mode, which is basically an “I don’t know what the heck I’m doing so I’m just going to press this Red button and hope it all comes out nice” mode. This is not like me,…
