Went to a cabin about 5 miles East of Leavenworth, WA. Obviously the long exposure exaggerates the effect, but this was the clearest, brightest night of stars I've ever seen (and I've had some good ones) Got a funny sensor error or something in the upper right corner of the second photo...

It's Anarchists. They've been around Seattle since the WTO stuff way back when. Mostly just anti government stuff. There's a real protest all day which is mostly peaceful, then these guys come out and raise a little hell.

Well, it's May 1st, so Seattle gets to go through "Anarchists breaking shit" day. Basically 300-400 cops get a bunch of overtime for babysitting would be revolutionaries. It starts out as a peaceful march through the city and always (ALWAYS!) ends with these folks doing some petty mayhem and...

It's actually not bad! I still have my RX10 and an A6000, but this is my "I believe this to be a picture worth the time" camera. BULLET LIST! I think it's more ergonomically friendly than the Merrill. The shot-to-shot performance and the screen are vastly superior. The focus in low light...

Sigma DP2 Quattro. Harbor Island near West Seattle, WA. 15s, ISO200, F/8. The export has a lot more noise than the original. Need to work out how to handle noise with the Quattro. Very little post, even though it looks very painterly. The Quattro long-exposure is fickle as hell. Sometimes you...

Good call. The mkii is super cool, but I came to realize that videography is a whole separate skill set. At $500, the RX10 is HANDS DOWN the best deal in cameras IMO.

Wow! Where in the world did you get that deal? Average used price is 800-900 usd

Thanks. Honestly the much cheaper mki has identical photo quality and can be had for under $500 on eBay. I've sold most my gear as the rx10 is just so good and versatile.

Sony RX10 mkii. Seattle, Alki Beach. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

Sigma SD1 + 17-70mm West Seattle, WA

Sigma SD1 Merrill and 70-300mm DG OS. Golden Gardens Beach, Seattle, WA, USA.

I'm one of the 4 people on the planet still using an SD1 (Merrill)! I like it, but it's a weird, difficult camera. 1) 2) 3)

Epic clouds over Belize. RX10 from an airplane:

"Sharpness is a bourgeois concept" will be a tattoo on my face.
