Getting Started in Photography
I wanted to write a blog post about a question I am asked fairly often that goes a bit like this: “I have $600 to spend on a new camera / and lens, what should I get that will enable me to take awesome pictures?” I would be lying if I told you that there […]
Nikon Nikkor 105mm 1.4E Lens Review & Sample Images
This lens replaces my Samyang 135 f2 and Nikon 85mm 1.8g. Those are two gems of portrait lenses, with the Samyang being my favorite and most used lens to date. The jump to the Nikon 105mm 1.4 E Lens is a significant investment, and had the Samyang had AF, I likely would not be making […]

West Kootenay Wedding Photography

It is a dream as a photographer, to be surrounded by such intentional and heart felt beauty for an entire day.

Samyang 24mm 1.4 Manual Focus Lens Review
