Fuji X-M5 & 150-600mm
Since selling my sony a7riv and 200-600mm summer of 2023 I’ve been missing the long telephoto lens in my lineup. Living near Yellowstone will do that I suppose. I added the 150-600mm this past winter and finally got a chance to take it to YNP in March. This is by no means a great test…

Sony 200-600mm review
I finally picked up a sony 200-600mm. Since moving to Montana and this lens getting announced I’ve felt like it’s the lens for wildlife photography. I’ve been considering one for a long time but finally bit the bullet, sold the 100-400 and got one! I didn’t own them both at the same time so I…

Long Lenses
Long lenses have always been something I’ve used in my photography. When I first got a film body in the 90s I had a 70-300mm variant. I’ve since gone through four camera systems (canon, nikon, canon again, fuji and now sony). On each system I’ve had a long lens of some sort. They basically fall…

Long Lens Fun!
I was invited to actually surf today. Instead I took the camera along and had some fun but stayed warm and dry! I’m working on a Sony 200-600mm review but figured I’d share 4 images from today. I’ve got a ton more surging images to edit but figured I’d get one done tonight. Enjoy.

24GM!
Long time no blog. Yeah, I need to work on that. Yes we’ve moved to Montana. Yes this year/spring/summer/fall has been a blur. I’ll work on better updates… BUT! Sony released a fast 24mm lens! This was my daily lens for the PADs I did back when the kids were born. I’ve switch systems (twice!)…

The Fuji switch part II: Weddings…
Welcome to the second part of my fuji X-T1 camera review. This post will focus primarily on how the X-T1 performs while shooting weddings. Part I of the review (which focuses on landscape photography) is here. I broke the review up into two sections because the two genres are quite different and I figured it’d be…

The Fuji switch part I: Landscapes!
This post is a bit overdue and because of that it’s probably going to be a bit long… In case you haven’t noticed I’ve been in the process of switching my entire kit over from a canon full frame kit to a fuji APS-C (“crop”) kit. This has roots that go back about 5 years…

Landscape Photography Kit Review:
I wanted to put a post together that goes over what I use to get my landscape images. While I do list the exact gear I shoot with, I don’t want this post to make is seem like that portion is critical. It’s far more important to get out there with what you do have…

Canon 10-22mm EF-S to EF conversion:
I converted my 10-22mm to be able to be used on FF over the weekend. I wouldn’t call it a full conversion as it’s NOT and EF lens, and you CAN damage your FF camera (and possibly 1.3) if you’re not careful, so proceed at your own risk… But, taking canon’s rear baffle out and…
