I spotted this booth and was struck by the owner’s aura, he fit perfectly, no doubt this was his world.

Craig Litten: New Orleans Jazz Fest: first shots with the Fuji X100s

Filed under: City Life,Street Photography — mike.kobal @ 8:50 am

I have been testing the Fuji X cameras (X-E1 and X-Pro1) extensively within the last month, and I have even used them on paid assignments. Since I was heading to New Orleans for the annual Jazz Fest to teach a street photography workshop (www.streetphotoworkshops.com), I thought that it would be the perfect opportunity to try out the new Fuji X100s.

RUSH HOUR: fashion editorial shot with the 135mm F2 and Nikon D800E

Filed under: City Life,Models Fashion,Photography Fashion — Tags: , , , , , — mike.kobal @ 4:20 pm

I am very pleased how my last editorial turned out, I will post the full spread once published (in about 1 to 2 weeks). Some of you emailed wondering if I will review the newly released Zeiss 135mm f2 and I thought this would be a good opportunity to share my experience shooting with this focal length and why I think a manual focus 135mm, regardless of its optical performance, is totally useless for anyone who shoots moving subjects….
