Do not adjust your television sets. This is not heat haze, but instead an example of the “jello effect” of the Pentax Q’s electronic shutter. The camera doesn’t have a focal plane shutter, relying instead on a leaf shutter in some of the lenses like the 01 Prime and then resorting to an electronic shutter…

Cheap is a relative term here – $65. But if like us you are sitting on the southwestern rim of the stadium, you can climb the last dozen stairs to the top and see something like this when the sun sets. Nikon V1 with the 30-100 zoom

Within the span of a day we ride from the scenic and touristy part of the Maine coast northward, to the part of the Maine coast on the periphery of tourism’s nets. Little towns like Stonington struggle to cling to old fishing traditions, and while the area is showing the first signs of tourism –…

The railroad, some grazing cattle, and a clear blue sky over Rapid City, South Dakota, a photo by john m flores on Flickr. This, for reasons unknown, may be my favorite photo of the year so far. It makes me want to go back out to South Dakota and neighboring Nebraska and take more photos.

And so we’re at Pemaquid Point in Maine. We’ve received permission to park the BMW R 1200 RT up on the grass so that we can get our shot. It’s about lunchtime so the sun is high in the sky – not the best conditions. But we take our photos anyway. Then a group of…

This is a lesser known part of the park but still quite beautiful. Here, the Pentax Q with the 03 Fish Eye is mounted to the windshield of the BMW R 1200 RT with a RAM suction cup. The result is quite nice and eminently publishable. This is another example of the right tool for…

This is the first time that I’m using the Nikon 1 V1 in anger, so to speak, a rigged photo from another bike. I bought the V1 because it had several key features for this kind of photography – it was relatively small and lightweight (versus a DLSR), it had very good autofocus, and it…

Recenty rode up to Maine with fellow rider/photographer Sandy Noble. This is what we brought. A Canon G11 is missing from the shot because it was used to take the photo, but there’s a space for it in the lower right hand corner of the iPad. So here’s what we got: Pentax K-5 with DA*…
