  • Looks like I’m not the only that has got their grubby paws on the hard-to-find GH2. Architect Björn Utpott shares his thoughts on the GH2 as well as some nice photos. Check it out: http://www.bmupix.com/journal/2010/12/17/gh2-first-impressions.html


  • Panasonic GH2 20mm F1.7 vs. Pentax K-x 40mm F2.8 Limited, originally uploaded by john m flores. Another view of these two cameras to illustrate their relative size. The GH2 is definitely smaller than the K-x, but I’m waffling on whether or not the size difference is a big deal. Yes, I can stuff the GH2…


  • Nate, relaxed., originally uploaded by john m flores. Come to think of it, when isn’t he relaxed? Panasonic GH2 with 20/F1.7 prime. Shot at ISO800, F2.0, 1/50s. This was a difficult lighting situation – light streaming in through the window behind the cat. I had to really push the exposure to get the cat well…


  • Who’s a spoiled kitty?, originally uploaded by john m flores. It’s shot like these that continue to surprise me. F2.0, 1/50, ISO 1600. The light source are three dim LED lights and the dual monitors of the computer – check out Nate’s right eye. In Lightroom, all I did was place the white balance eye…


  • Mirror, mirror, on the wall…, originally uploaded by john m flores. I’ve been shooting with the Panasonic Lumix GH2 for the last week or so. It’s been an interesting experience to say the least, and has started me thinking about the future of mirrorless cameras. Can they eventually usurp the dSLR? Watch this space. Over…


  • 2011, originally uploaded by john m flores. Panasonic GH2 with Pentax M50/F1.7 (via Fotodiox adapter) A new year is here with a bang and fireworks bursting over the New York City skyline. It gives me hope to read everyone’s well-wishes on Facebook, it’s like we as a species are prone to bouts of optimism, to…


  • Don’t throw away your old photos. Put them in a shoebox and stick them in the basement. Or put them on a hard drive and stick the drive in your safety deposit box. Just don’t throw them away. One day you’ll open up the dusty old box and find a photo that you didn’t think…


  • Looming. Large., originally uploaded by john m flores. Went into “The City” today (there is only one) to meet an old friend in town. Was ready to head out the door with the Pentax K20d and a fistful of primes, the Canon G10 as backup, and the Olympus XA to play with. At the last…


  • Riding the rails, originally uploaded by john m flores. A late fall sun drips through the window as the train hurtles westward. We are carried unwillingly towards the perigee of days when we wake in the dark, work under an artificial sun, and then return home in darkness. Fear not though, that too shall pass,…


  • Point & Shoot + 20 Year Old Flash = Compact Setup, originally uploaded by john m flores. A small reminder of how big things have gotten. Mind you, in the modern world the Pentax K20d is a diminutive little rascal, a mere meerkat to the lions and tigers and bears and hulking Nikons and Canons…
