I have a confession to make, I suffer from G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). I don’t want to spend a lot of money on new lenses so I look towards older, vintage, manual lenses, which are cheap and fun to use but don’t offer the same image quality as modern lenses. Gotta catch’em all!

So I thought to myself today, why not buy a new lens, it’s cheap, so why not? Continue reading →

This is trendy and very cool nowadays due to the popularity of mirrorless cameras among enthusiasts and prosumers. I for one didn’t see the point in adapting vintage lenses to my modern cameras, I mean why would you go through all that trouble to lose autofocus and image quality, lose metadata info on aperture number and buy adapters, what there to gain?

Here’s some things you should know before and/or after you decide to adapt a vintage lens to your modern camera. Continue reading →

If photography is sometimes frustrating, hang in there, it gets better! Random street art

1. Nice photo, I bet you have a great camera!

You spent hours shooting, choosing your best shot, another of couple of hours editing and choosing the best edit and once you post your photo online people start complimenting your camera specs instead of you! Don’t you just love it when that happens?

2. No sun during the weekend!

You’ve been slaving away at work Monday through Friday and can’t wait for the weekend to go out and shoot and when the weekend comes, it’s either rainy, cold, very cloudy or my favorite, all of the above.

You’re at work with a lot of tasks on your action list, you look outside the window and the weather is just perfect for photos. Oh the irony! Continue reading →

Photography is NOT about your Camera or your Lens

Everything is about gear nowadays. We see a great picture and we ask “hey, what camera and lens did you use?”. I do it as well. I think to myself, if only I had that new camera from Sony, Fuji, Nikon, Canon that just came out, I would take so much better pictures. I know I’m wrong but I still do it because I’m a tech nerd. I love technology of every shape or form.

If only I had that Zeiss or Leica lens I would shoot so many great pictures, I would get so many followers on Instagram and my blog audience would grow exponentially. But that’s just silly because I started photography because I loved (and still do) to capture memories of my day to day life and revisit them from time to time. Continue reading →
