    X1D and 21mm XCD in Mexico

    I had the good fortune of receiving the 21mm XCD lens from Hasselblad in time for my trip to Tulum and Mexico City. I had the bad fortune of my X1D becoming unresponsive during the trip. I was able use the lens enough to really enjoy it. It is sharp, quiet, well balanced, fast focusing and a joy...

    The Hasselblad X1d in New York

    Hope this is OK. Took the Hasselblad X1D to New York last week. Steve Huff published my brief write-up and a few photos. I've included a link if interested. The Hasselblad X1D Shoots in New York City and More Aloha.

    Hasselblad x1d and Short Flash Duration

    Any recommendations on a relatively portable strobe that has a short flash duration at full power? Trying to take advantage of the x1d's ability to sync flash at 1/2000 sec. For example, the Godox AD200 is small, light and relatively powerful at 200Ws. Unfortunately at full power, flash...

    Can Sony A7RII do Ballet?

    The Sony A7RII is an impressive camera. I've enjoyed several threads with intelligent comments by all. Simple question. Will this camera adequately focus and track a professional ballerina during a performance. And if so, what are viable lens options. Currently my typical settings are f2.8-4...

    Other-Worldly with Nikon 600mm f4 Lens

    Used the Nikon 600 f4 lens on the V3 for a slightly different kind of Supermoon photo and video. Hope you enjoy these. Hawaii Surfer Girl and the Supermoon Supermoon Video

    Nikon V3 and 70-300cx

    I expect very little interest in this camera lens combo (and this thread) but thought I would share a few bird photos. Until I picked up a V3 a couple of months ago, I never photographed birds. Until I picked up the new 70-300cx (189-810mm equivalent) lens a couple of weeks ago I never...

    Hawaii's Comic Con

    Milk Short Feature Writeup. Kawaii Kon Gallery. A little over a week ago I went to my first ever comic con - called Kawaii Kon in Hawaii. I was shooting for Milk Made in New York. My setup was pretty simple and straight forward. A Nikon 14-24 on a D4 and 58/1.4 on a Df. I also had the 85 which...

    Nikon Df at Ballet

    Shot Nutcracker with the Nikon Df and three lenses: 58/1.4g, 70-200 and 200-400. Normally I shoot with a D3s but this year I tried the Df instead. Much I like, a little I did not. Will add some thoughts later, but decided to share a few photos for now.

    Nikon V1, Ft-1 Adapter and Surf Event

    Today I shot the final day of the Billabong Pipe Masters surf event with the Nikon V1, Ft-1 adapter and 300/4 lens. This gave me the equivalent of an 810mm lens. I must say the combo worked very well. Rather than inserting images I am including a slideshow link. FYI, the wide angle shots are...

    Nikon 58/1.4g and Baby Blue Eyes

    Last week a friend and her one year old daughter stopped by to visit. I could not resist taking a few photos with the 58. No post except exposure and cropping. All shot wide open at 1.4.

    Nikon 58/1.4g in Hawaii

    OK, just received the 58mm f/1.4g lens and took it out for a spin in Waikiki with my D800. All shot wide open except for one. No real testing on my part, just shooting this and that. Lens definitely has a distinct look, lovely bokeh, extremely shallow DOF and is definitely not razor sharp...

    Sony Rx1 and others in NYC Writeup

    A brief write up on Steve Huffs site by yours truly. An attempt to get shallow DOF with the Sony Rx1 in the streets of New York along with some other cameras. Might be of interest if you have nothing else more pressing. Thanks. Linky

    D800 at New York Halloween Parade

    I rarely post here in the Nikon forum just because I am so happy with the camera. Even though I am always looking for the ideal small camera (Nikon V1, Sony rx-1, Ricoh Gr, Fuji X100 ... ) it's always reassuring to have a D800 when the need arises. Here's a short article and a few images from...

    Nikon V1 Images

    Three months ago I purchased a Nikon V1 camera at a great price. I've been extremely impressed with the camera, particularly the fast and accurate focusing. Thought I would share a link to photos I've taken over the past 90 days to give you an idea of what the camera is capable of. Hope you...

    Nikon V1 and Ballet Photography

    Here's my short write-up on the virtues of the Nikon V1 and ballet photography. Focusing and tracking is quite amazing on this little camera. Here's the link if interested: Nikon V1 Shoots Ballet. Hope you enjoy it.

    Nikon 32/1.2 Lens is a Bargain

    I sent a brief writeup about the Nikon 32/1.2 lens to Steve Huff and he decided to post it. Might be worth a read. Thanks. A Nikon 32 1.2 Lens Review by Joe Marquez | STEVE HUFF PHOTOS

    Nikon 32mm f/1.2 Lens

    Recently picked up this lens along with a Nikon V1. Price is steep, but my goodness what a lovely lens. Small, light and fast and accurate focusing even in low light. Shutter speed of 1/16,000 negates need for an ND filter. Had a chance to use it twice so far - once in Waikiki and the other at...

    iPhone Instagram Pro Photographer
