Travel Journal : Zurich, Switzerland

Image
Check me out on social media  Instagram  and  Facebook  ! Switzerland is beautiful! We visited Zurich and surrounding areas. One the first day, we took a boat trip on lake Lucerne. The landscapes are awe inspiring and the journey is very peaceful. On second day, we got the top of mount Pilatus. The journey to the top is very pretty, with many photographic opportunity.  Enjoy the postcards! Mount Pilatus Lake Lucerne Way to the top - Mount Pilatus Lake Lucerne Lake Lucerne

Travel Journal : Zion and Bryce

Image
Check me out on social media  Instagram  and  Facebook  ! I have been to Zion and Bryce national parks twice so far. They are absolutely gorgeous and it's difficult to shoot a bad pictures there! They are massive and each park needs a few days to truly explore it. Zion has other surrounding areas like Wire Pass and Toadstools that are also very picturesque.

Dance!

Image
Check me out on social media  Instagram  and  Facebook  ! I shot these dance portraits a while ago but never got around to posting them. Portraiture along with landscapes are two of my preferred types of photography. Combining the two is even better! Environmental portraits are so much fun to shoot! The graceful poses by the danders makes photography very easy! I'm getting back to social media after a considerable gap and I will slowly fill in the gaps with my posts to be more comprehensive on this blog.  

Travel Journal : Alaska

Image
Check me out on social media  Instagram  and  Facebook  ! I've been meaning to write a blurb about the Alaska trip. Finally getting to it now! We did the Alaska trip in 2017 and it was truly an amazing experience. We visited Fairbanks, Denali National Park, Anchorage, Kenai Fjords and surrounding areas. The whole state is very picturesque. Mount Denali is truly majestic and we were lucky to catch a glimpse of the peak (apparently it's not easy to see the peak as there is usually a cloud cover). I found the food scene in Alaska to be surprisingly good! Some pictures from Denali National Park and scenic drives near Seward and Anchorage.

New to Sony System

Image
I was completely oblivious to the advancement in digital photography as I concentrate mainly the results than the tools. I shoot medium and large format films and till recently shot with Olympus 4/3 systems in the digital world. I heard about the world of mirror less cameras and how they make using legacy lenses on digital cameras an easy process. I decided to check out the Sony A7 series and bought a used Sony A7RII. I'm super impressed by this system. It was very intuitive to learn and there are plenty of custom button that I can customize, so I didn't have to go digging around the menus. It has very good video feature and I think it'll be a new skill for me to learn! I don't have any "digital" lenses yet and decided to adapt Konica Hexanon 57mm f/1.2(pictured below) and a Pentacon six 135mm f/2.8 (M42 screw mount). Both the lenses had ready made adapters available to the Sony system and were very affordable. There focus peaking and focus magnifica
