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.

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.

So, after owning (and mostly loving) the Sigma DP Merrill cameras, I decided I would create a camera dichotomy: 1) A Sony RX10 mkii which is likely the most technically sophisticated, easy-to-use, compact, and multi-purpose camera ever made. It produces detailed, clinically accurate files with...

Leavenworth, WA in the middle of a real downpour. Sony RX10 mkii Amazingly, this isn't a B&W picture.

2 shots from this morning. Sony RX10 mkii and a CPL filter in Kent, WA. 1) 2)

RX10 mkii in Seattle, WA

When I'm lazy, I go down to the beach a few miles from my house. It is endlessly photogenic. All with RX10 mkii. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

A friend of mine needed some publicity shots for her new book, so I grabbed the GX7 and the Oly 25/45/75 lenses and headed into downtown Seattle on what could easily be described as the crappiest day of weather I've seen in years. Cold, rainy, windy. Ugh. Anyway, we shot a bit in the massive...

I was out yesterday and saw a huge line of Seagulls sitting on the roof of the boathouse down on the beach. There wasn't really a way to get a particularly symmetrical shot, so I did the best I could. Sony RX10 mkii 1) 2) 3)

Jack Block Park, West Seattle. Sony RX-10 mkii

Jack Block Park, it's just before Saltys on Avalon. A bizarre and delightful little place.

It was 29 degrees and foggy as all hell this morning, so I got up MUCH earlier than usual and headed down to a small park across the water from downtown Seattle. All taken with RX10 or RX100 IV. Amazingly, the first shot is pretty much OOC. The others are various levels of processed in LR. 1)...

Taken with the RX10 mkii leaving Belize City Airport.

Thanks. I took about 150 in ten minutes. Will probably do a whole separate post with all of them. I took a 4K video too, but that takes forever to edit and grade.

Sony RX10 mkii.

Olympus TG-2 in Caye Caulker, Belize

Yeah, for non-HFR stuff the original RX10 is the bargain of the century! Can usually get one under $600 used. The 120fps mode on the original RX10 is... not great. Very grainy and kind of dull. It's totally usable, but after seeing the mk2 footage I was done. I have both (and the RX100 mk 4)...

Welp, I'm in love!

I believe it was 240 images at 15 second intervals, so about an hour. The battery gave out as I hadn't fully charged it. It's cool it just autosaves what it has captured if the battery dies. The setup of the PlayMemories store on the camera is a LIVING NIGHTMARE and Sony should be ashamed.

Hi all, I don't know the forum rules on this as it's technically a "video". Let me know if this is acceptable. thanks! Taken with Sony RX100 mk4 and the PlayMemories time-lapse app If that doesn't work, here's a still of Mt. Rainier I took with the RX-10:

I started editing photos on my iPad, I ended up processing a little more than I usually do. I actually liked it this time but I could see falling into the trap of doing this on every picture. Also, the RX10 may be the greatest all-around camera I've ever used. In engineering marvel! created by...

A few more:

Camped in Deception Pass this last weekend. It's a lovely place. Fuji XE-2 with 16-50mm and developed in Lightroom. 1) 2) 3) Annoyingly blurry as I had the aperture stopped down a lot and wasn't ready for it.

I pm'd you about the DP2. thanks

Got a bit stir crazy today, and decided to go down to Pike's Place Market. I hate this place. I really do. It combines my two strongest hatreds: overpriced "artisanal" goods and bus loads of tourists. However, it was better than sitting on the couch staring at my stupid dog. Enjoy...

Yeah, #2 is pretty good. I was in a mood yesterday. I stood in that alley for a very long time waiting for a geometrically pleasing alignment of people to line up. I almost started dragging people around to place them.

Got a bit stir crazy today, and decided to go down to Pike's Place Market. I hate this place. I really do. It combines my two strongest hatreds: overpriced "artisanal" goods and bus loads of tourists. But, there are people there. Weird, interesting people. And when it's a disgusting...

Shot a band that wanted some stuff for fliers and twitter. It was a nightmare scenario of lighting and equipment malfunctions, but there were some mildly redeemable shots. I wrote a bit more about the experience here, and have generally better pictures taken with my Sigma Merrill DP2. GX7 +...

"I don't need this, I don't need this, I don't need this...." Gah!!!

Lately I've run into an issue: I'm sick of taking pictures of the same things. Over. And Over. And Over. That cemetery? The dead are sick of you. Chinatown? It's getting weird with the dragon pictures. Abandoned factories? Been done son! So, with my newfound love of the DP2M I decided to...

In my endless quest to inflict as much pain as possible on myself and my family, I decided to take my DP2M over to the sis-in-laws place for dinner. I figured I'd take this incredible image making device and use it in the last possible situation it was designed for. Amazingly, it wasn't as...

Thanks Doug! I have a nice Velbon tabletop tripod similar to the one in the video. I'll mess around with it tonight.
