Weekly Portrait Set: More With Lilia and The Leica SL2:

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all enjoying the holiday season!  I took a few days off to enjoy the time with my family and friends but I’m back.  I’m starting off with my weekly portrait post, which is of Lilia.  This was from the same shoot I shot a while back.  If you’d like, you can see the pics we did from the fire escape here.  The reason I have so many photos is because this shoot was very long; in fact, it was an all day shoot.  Neither Lilia or me planned on shooting for so long but we were on a roll, and having a bit of fun.

Happy Holidays!:

I just wanted to wish all of you happy holidays!  Thanks for coming by and taking the time to read my blog.  It’s also been great getting to know a lot of you through email, DMs on Instagram, and even meeting up around NYC to shoot.  Expect more blog posts and reviews coming this upcoming new year.  I didn’t have a holiday picture haha, so I posted something I found from my SD card that was in the Nikon Z50 that I’m currently reviewing.  It says Seasons Greetings on the top right corner :).  Anyway, I hope all of you enjoy the holidays with your family and friends.  Thanks for stopping by!

Big Holiday Savings on ONA Camera Bags And Accessories:

If you’ve been eyeing one of those great looking ONA bags or need an accessory for your existing bag, you can save big time on quite a lot of them.  There’s a holiday sale going on, and it looks like you can get free next day shipped by B&H Photo for most of them, so they’ll make it just in time for Christmas too.  Some of the bags are one hundred to two hundred something dollars off the list price.  I have too many bags lol but even I’m thinking about swinging for ONA Bowery :).  I posted a link below with all the products:

Sony FE 35mm f1.8 Lens Review:

The 35mm lens is super popular among photographers because if you think about it, it’s a very versatile focal length.  It’s great for street photography, cityscape, landscape, documentary, and environmental portraiture just to name a few.  The 50mm might be my favorite focal length but if I were going on vacation, for example, and I only had the option of bringing one lens, it’d probably be the 35mm.  So, this leads me to what I’m going to talk about now, the Sony FE 35mm f1.8 lens.  When it was first announced, this was a highly anticipated lens for good reason.  It’s the right focal length, it’s compact, and promised fast autofocus, and good optics.  Plus, at f1.8, it has a large maximum aperture.  Let’s take a closer look.
