3 Bananas, 2 Cameras, originally uploaded by john m flores. Ok, so this isn’t terribly exciting. What is interesting is that I took photos of the bananas with the Panasonic GH2 and Pentax K20d at similar settings – ISO 400 and ~40mm. I had the 20mm F1.7 on the Panasonic and the DA*16-50 F2.8 on…

Golden girl, originally uploaded by john m flores. Panasonic GH2 with 14-140/F4.0-5.8131mm (262mm 35mm eq)1/2000 @ F6.3, ISO200 I’m enjoying having a long lens again – it’s (re)opening creative possibilities.This one is sharp.

Busted, originally uploaded by john m flores. I threw the Pentax DA70 F2.4 Limited on the Panasonic GH2 in the hope of catching folks in the act of appreciating art. Most were unaware, except this one kid totally busted me. As others have noticed, the Panasonic GH2 can give skin tones a reddish cast. I’ve…

40 Winks, originally uploaded by john m flores. We get so caught up in technique and technicalities sometimes that we stop looking at photos. Damn precision, inspiration does not live there.
