Summer is a busy wedding season where I live in California. I’ve also been getting a lot of questions lately about how the Sony a7II cameras perform during demanding situations like weddings. It’s officially my second wedding season using a setup with two a7II and two a6000 bodies, and they have held up wonderfully. I couldn’t … Continue reading Sony a7II Photos from a Yosemite Wedding
I stopped by my local camera store, Horn Photo, to pick up some film (yeah, the stuff that looks like tape in a little metal canister and acts sort of like a CF card) and they happened to have one copy of the newly released Sony 85mm f/1.4 G-Master lens. They were kind enough to let me try it … Continue reading Sony 85mm f/1.4 G-Master: A First Look
Sony was busy cranking out new cameras last year, updating all their a7 series mirrorless cameras. I currently own the a7II as my main camera, and I’ve had the privilege of reviewing the a7RII when it was released. Both are excellent cameras. The only one I haven’t had a chance to review was the a7SII. Well, thanks … Continue reading Family Portraits in Yosemite with the Sony a7SII
It’s such a blessing to be just a couple of hours away from one of the most beautiful places on earth, Yosemite National Park, and recently, I had a chance to shoot some engagement portraits there. Since the Sony a6000 is quickly becoming my favorite camera to shoot with nowadays, I decided to pick up a … Continue reading A Yosemite Photo Shoot with the Sony a6000 and Zeiss 12mm Touit
As soon as I got my review copy of the Sony a7RII from Horn Photo, I needed to warm up to its new features that weren’t familiar with me, so I stopped by my local coffee shop called Kuppa Joy. I’ve gotten to know the owner and staff of the coffee shop really well (yeah, … Continue reading Warming Up With The Sony a7RII
My experience with the Sony a7II and the a6000 has been quite pleasant so far. I’ve had a chance to push them to their limits on many portrait sessions and weddings and they’ve both found a place in my lineup. But, the Sony a7RII is undeniably the hottest ticket in town right now. I’ve had … Continue reading Family Portraits With The Sony a7RII
When I got my first interchangeable lens camera, the Sony a7II, I was still shooting with my Canon gear for all my professional work. So far, my Sony RX1 was a very handy third body that I brought with me for all my gigs. But, I still had the butterflies — the fear of the … Continue reading Butterflies To Goats: Diving Into Mirrorless Photography
For over a year now, I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about the Sony a6000. Honestly, when it was released on February 2014, I never gave the camera a second thought. It was a sub-one-thousand-dollar camera and it was marketed toward enthusiast photographers and beginners. At $800 during its release, the a6000 sold like hotcakes. … Continue reading A Beach Trip With The Sony a6000
Things were going at a fast pace. It was the middle of a busy summer wedding season, and the last weekend that I had off was six Saturdays ago. I was also in the midst of pulling off my switch to an all-mirrorless setup for my wedding and portraiture work. The 55mm f/1.8 that I … Continue reading Sony FE 28mm f/2: A Closer Look
It took me two years to get to this point. Sure, I’ve had my Sony RX1 for over two years, and I liked it so much that I quickly incorporated it into my Canon DSLR setup. But whenever I shot a wedding, I was still in that DSLR mindset, and the mirrorless RX1 was a … Continue reading Going All-Mirrorless: My First Non-DSLR Wedding
