Visit to Plattsburgh NY:

Hey everyone!  I hope all of you had a good weekend.  I’ve been doing a lot of portrait work lately, so I haven’t had as much time as I would’ve liked to post more.  My schedule is clearing up, so I’ll be back here more often again.  I even took a weekend trip to Plattsburgh NY for some rest and relaxation.  For those who do not know where Plattsburgh is, it’s near the border of Canada.  It’s the first time that I’ve been there.  I didn’t really bring any camera gear other than a Sony RX100 III.  All I did was some hiking and boating on Lake Champlain.  Technically, I could’ve drove the boat to the Canadian side although I was told they would stop me immediately ;).  Still, I thought it was kind of cool that you could do it.

So, the picture on top is just something I took while walking around on a farm.  There are definitely a lot of farms around Plattsburgh.  I converted it to black and white using Nik Silver Efex Software, and it was taken with the RX100 III I had with me.  The RX100 III is such a great little camera.  The images are excellent yet it is so pocketable.  That’s one thing I really like about the Sony: it never grew significantly in size as they kept updating it.  I love my D-Lux Typ 109 but one thing that really bothers me is the size.  The image quality is better…heck, the whole camera is significantly better than its predecessors but I consider it big for its class.  I’ve been thinking about writing a review for the Sony RX100 III but I know it’s been out for a while already.  Maybe I’ll wait for the version 5 of this camera.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by.  Up next will be my Panasonic 42.5mm F1.2 Nocticron review.  I took a lot of photos with this lens, so I hope all of you check it out when it is done.  Take care!

Asbury Park New Jersey With The Fuji X-Pro2:

As some of you know, I’ve been shooting with the Fuji X-Pro2, and for the most part, it’s been great.  I’m almost done with it, and I’ll be posting my review up soon but I thought I’d share some photos from my recent excursion.  I feel like I’ve hit a road block recently; I love New York, and I’ve lived here all my life but I feel like I’m taking the same old pictures.  I feel like I need to see something new.  I think every photographer feels this way once in a while.  Sometimes a person needs new inspiration so yesterday, I decided to drive down to Asbury Park in New Jersey.

Leica D-Lux Typ 109 in Walt Disney World:

I originally just wanted to bring the Fuji X-T10 and the XF 27mm F2.8 to Disney because I wanted to travel light.  But right before my trip, I decided to purchase a new D-Lux Typ 109.  I’ve always wanted one but I pretty much held out until now.  Seeing as it’s already a pretty compact camera, I decided to bring it as well because I didn’t want to wait until I got back to use it :).

Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku Tokyo Japan:

I still haven’t gone through all the photos I took in Japan.  I’ve been busy with other things like upcoming reviews, and of course, the Hasselblad that I bought recently.  I also pinched a nerve in my upper back, so I wasn’t up for much of anything lately.  It’s also why there haven’t been many posts recently.  Now that I’ve sent some film to my lab and my back feels better, I thought I’d finish whatever photos I have left from my trip to Japan.  Right now, I’m going through one of my memory cards and I came across my photos from the Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku, and I thought I’d share some of them.
