Formula D Seattle is undoubtedly my most favorite event to photograph every year. In previous years, I shot the event for Subiesport Magazine and Driving Sports, however this was the first year I shot the event for NWMotiv.com. Due to scheduling issues with another event I was going to on Saturday, I was only able to shoot Friday’s practice and qualifying sessions, but I was also able to get Kyle “KP” Pope to fly up from Arizona and shoot in […]
Last Sunday the 22nd was the University Street Fair, and my friends and I decided go to out and shoot some street photography. I hadn’t done any dedicated street photography for some time now, so it was a welcome change to most of the other types of things I’ve been shooting lately. I only brought my Nikkor 50mm ƒ1.4 and 85mm ƒ1.8 with my D700 and quite honestly, I didn’t miss the zoom at all. There were plenty of things […]
Since I started using my Nikon D700 last November, I hadn’t really changed my line-up of lenses. My Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D and Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D felt right at home with the new full frame sensor, and the Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G satisfied my everyday walk around lens requirement, but none of these lenses really offered anything new to me. On top of that, my first generation Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR was proven to have some issues with the new FX format […]
To help me decide on some possible future lens purchases, I went to BorrowLenses.com to rent the Nikkor 135mm ƒ2 and Nikkor 24mm ƒ1.4. I couldn’t properly test these lenses of course without a good subject, so I got in touch with Erica once again to help me out. She happily obliged and this time around, we both wanted to go with something a bit more stylish than our previous shoots. We ended up going to Seattle’s Discovery Park and […]
No, I’m not talking about “Boyz II Men, ABC, and BBD” here 🙂 Last month, a bunch of my relatives from my mom’s side of the family visited us from the east of the Mississippi as they went on a cruise up to Alaska. They weren’t able to stay in Seattle very long, so I made it a point to take a bunch of photos of them during their short stay. Most of these photos were taken at my uncle’s […]
