I guess it’s about time I make it official and put a shot/post about this on the gear blog. I’ve officially switched to Nikon. When my 5Dii drowned in August I realized I could use that opportunity to try a D700. It’s the camera I wish canon would make, but they refuse to for whatever reason. It […]

Finally decided on a new bag. After MUCH hemming and hawing (is that even how you spell that?) I went with the Tamrac Adventure 4. It’s also called the 5534 and can be found here. It’s looking like a good decision. The only 2 issues I see with it right now are that it’s just […]

Went for my first NSOP sunrise shoot in a few weeks due to my cold. It was an OK morning at Hazard… the sun never really showed up and there weren’t even any good clouds as I’d hoped, but the waves certainly showed up! I’d checked the surf report throughout the weekend and it was […]

Well we’re all starting to feel a bit better! I’m still coughing a bit with a tickle in my throat, but it’s more annoying than an issue/cold. Elias and Nikki are both better as well. This weekend was a bit of a disapointment though as it rained ALL DAY yesterday. I stayed home with Elias […]

I’m daydreaming about new bags again. The issue is my new nikkor zooms are just slightly longer than their canon counterparts I had previously (24-70 nikkor -vs- 24-105 canon and 14-24 nikkor -vs- any of my old UWA zooms). This presents a problem with my Boda as I used to store one of those zooms […]

ugh, we can’t seem to catch a break around here. First, Elias and Nikki were sick 2 weekends ago. Nikki had a sore throat Sunday but that was it. Elias had a small cough and ended up with an ear infection (not his first or last, just a PITA with antibiotics). Well then I caught […]

The weather finally co-operated so Spencer and I could get over to the Carnegie Abbey site for one final series for his proposal. He wanted strong shadows on the courtyard so we needed to shoot before noon but also on a day without a lot of clouds. Being fall in New England it took almost […]

Ralph and I got out shooting again last Thursday. We shot a beautiful remodel down in Newport. Atlantic basically redid the entire downstairs (kitchen, living room, dining room and bath) as well as the upstairs bedroom and spare room. We also got around to a kitchen Atlantic remodeled in Middletown:

Well, for those of you who thought you were missing the pictures in yesterday’s (new theme) update, the new theme announcement was the ENTIRE update! So here’s a normal new update so you can see what they will look like from now on. As for what happened this week, it was Halloween obviously, but I […]

I finally decided to get a new theme for the blog. I’m sure you noticed as there are no more words on the main page of the blog and you have to click the most recent image to get to the actual posts! If you’re reading this, you’ve obviously figured it out, but PLEASE leave […]

Had another sunrise shoot this morning. Eric and I went out to Old Furnace State park in Connecticut. I’d never been and it was another nice hidden location. There was a lot of dead wood in the water and the leaves are already well past their prime but it was still a very fun morning. […]

finally got the 24-70 for the D700. It’s a lens I love to hate honestly… I’m not really a fan of mid range zooms. I’ve owned both the sigma and canon versions of this lens before and never really loved using it but ALWAYS got great results. I had the 24-105 with the 5Dii for […]

Well, because I switched teams to Nikon, I figured I owed it to myself to try the best UWA made these days. The 14-24mm is an amazing lens. It’s a very hefty piece of glass. The FE is pretty cool looking but a PITA to clean. But what this lens has is amazing build, it’s […]

Got out shooting with Ralph again this weekend. He had a 6 location lined up for me so this post will be a bit short on words and a bit long on pictures (probably better that way anyway). Here goes: First up was a new deck patio and shed: then a large addition (the garage/right […]
