Return!

Where has the time gone?

So, a couple months off with a focus on staying sane and job searching and I have a LOT of content to update!
I've had a few paying photography gigs. I've acquired some new gear and, of course, I have several photos to share.
I'll get this all tossed in here soon, likely starting with the new gear - a Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II USM and a Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 G2. Both are upgrades (oddly enough, the Tamron's replacing a Canon and the Canon's replacing a Tamron). 

The paying gigs are small potatoes, but when you have not had potatoes before, size doesn't matter! They've been super fun and great learning experiences.

And I promptly had it model for a photoshoot. Yep, I'm just getting to the point where I'd classify myself a step beyond enthusiast with a DSLR and I step into another world that blends cinematography and photography. The thing is so COOL! It's surprisingly tiny for what it can do. I imagined you needed one of those big drones (phantom or larger) to get the good stuff. There are advantages to size (payload and such) but for photos and video, this dude works fine! So smawww next to that controller (Pixel 2 in the controller for scale) Some initial details - you've got to be in the right spot mentally to get started. It's some pretty serious business as these are technically aircraft and the guv'ment does like to regulate t

The Great Outdoors In My Urban Backyard

Since I started chronicling my photography recently, I have a whole back-log I can talk about. I thought it a good time to bring up how awesome Columbus is in regards to the Metro Park system . If you ventured to that link, you'll realize that Columbus/Franklin County owns metroparks.net. You can see it's serious business. I'd lived in town or the 'burbs a handful of years before even setting foot in one. It was after having my Canon t6i about half a year (January, 2017) that a friend asked if I wanted to check out one of our local parks ( Blacklick Woods ) and I realized I had a whole new world to explore in and around the city. I was captivated even by the moss Still rocking the kit lens with no idea how to control settings Really, a great park Not great photos, by any means, but it was inspiring in my early learnings to find out that these places existed, and nearly all of them within a 30 minute drive. The next year was spent really honing my eye fo
