    Niagara Falls

    I've always wanted to see Niagara Falls in the winter, so my wife and I drove there last weekend. Would have been more iced up a few weeks ago, but it was still pretty cool to see. 20150307 035b by Ronald S. Smith, on Flickr 20150307 053b by Ronald S. Smith, on Flickr 20150307 062b by...

    First Outing with XF14.2.8

    I should have ordered this two months ago. Nonetheless, my 14 arrived on Friday and I took it to the woods on Saturday. The sky was gray, the lighting was awful and most all the leaves were gone, but this lens is awesome! 20131116 a011 by Ronald S. Smith, on Flickr 20131116 a029 by Ronald...

    Downtown Detroit with my new GH2

    My GH2 body arrived on Friday (thanks Robert!) and I was sitting as a mediator in Detroit on Monday. I brought the GH2 and some lenses with me and took a quick walk through downtown and along the riverfront during the lunch break. I also took some from the 15th floor hearing room between...

    Drive-by shooting

    That term usually has a different connotation here in Detroit, but I was driving through downtown Detroit this afternoon, shooting out the window with my GF1 and 20/1.7, probably in violation of two or three provisions of the Motor Vehicle Code. 20110228 022a by Ronald S. Smith, on Flickr...

    Panasonic 7-14: First Outing

    Thanks to Robert (Monza), I got my new 7-14 on Friday, and got out yesterday to play with it a bit. This lens is just amazing. I discovered that you really have to think more about composition to avoid distortion at 7mm, but I'm looking forward to seeing what else can be done with it. I'm...

    Quick GF1 Video Question

    I am not now nor have I ever been a videographer. Nonetheless, my wife wants me to shoot a video of her nursery school class play tomorrow. The performance is expected to last approximately 15 minutes. The largest SD cards I have are 4GB SanDisk Extreme SDHC 30 MB/s. I want to shoot in...

    Took the PL 45/2.8 for a walk.

    I found a couple of dry hours yesterday afternoon and went to walk around the grounds at Cranbrook House and Gardens in Bloomfield Hills, just a few miles from where I live. I took both my G1 and GF1 and a few lenses. I had my new PL45/2.8 on the G1, while the GF1 wore the 20/1.7 mostly and...

    Photo/Laptop Backpack Recommendations

    I am looking for a backpack that will hold a 14" laptop along with an adequate arsenal of m4/3 gear (G1 and/or GF1 with 3-4 lenses, and flash). It would be primarily for traveling, so I don't have to carry both a camera bag and a computer case separately. I don't want a bag that is too big. I...

    Key West with GF1

    My wife and I were in Key West last weekend for a cousin's wedding (photos from which are posted separately). I really enjoy traveling light these days, so I took only my GF1 with the 20/1.7, the 14-45 zoom, a Leica 50 Summicron and a Panasonic FL360 strobe. Here are a few samples. Comments...

    My first m4/3 wedding

    I've never shot a wedding professionally (which should be obvious as you scroll down), but I'm always asked to bring my camera to shoot candids. I stay out of the way of the pros and shoot whatever I choose. My wife and I were in Key West, Florida, for the wedding of her cousin's son, and I...

    Panasonic G1 warranty service question

    My now four-month old G1 suddenly developed a loose left strap lug. I'm concerned that it might work its way out completely and cause the camera to fall. In addition, some of the rubbery cover has peeled away from the lower LCD hinge. This doesn't bother me that much, but if I'm going to be...

    400/5.6 Canon on G1

    I just got my EOS to m4/3 adapter from Jinfinance and took my G1 outside yesterday to try it out with my 400/5.6 Canon ... I'm looking forward to trying it out on some birds ... preferably on the ground.
