From the original Canon 5D: Artist portraits

day4c-0122

I came across these files I had completely written off because of a catastrophic back up system failure a couple of years ago. Shot with the original 5D and the Canon L 28-300mm, as a side project on assignment. Sensor technology came a long way since then and today we have a choice of reasonably priced and excellent full frame cameras, which surpass the 5D in almost every category, but does it really matter?

When Night Rises: Fuji X-E1 with 35mm 1.4

A few random twilight and night shots captured with the Fuji X-E1, the Fujifilm 35mm f1.4 and 18mm f2. When my favorite all-round camera, the Nikon D800E remains shelved due to weight and size (crazy good refurbished Nikon deals, including D600, D800, click here), I reach for the Fuji X-E1, a serious lightweight alternative. I admit, shooting without an AA filter can be very addictive :)
