Hi there!

I like to see and take photos of ordinary life.

What I use to make photos:

— Lightroom → RawTherapee (I do no local adjustments, almost never crop, but resize before uploading to Flickr to avoid loss of sharpness);

— SIGMA fp with Voigtländer Color Skopar 21mm f/3.5 or 7artisans 50mm f1.1 (both through Leica M adapter L), Olympus 100mm f2.8 MC Zuiko Auto-T through URTH OM-L adapter, Funleader 18mm cap, or (very rarely now) 45mm DG DN kit lens;

— sometimes with a Hoya CPL filter or Haida variable ND filter;

— occasionally on Moza AirCross 2 (for video);

— Sony a6400 with 50mm f/1.8 kit prime or 7artisans 7.5mm fisheye lens (gave away);

— DJI Phantom 4.

Note that when using some lenses camera writes “flash fired” in EXIF data. This could be a lens adapter or Sigma fp issue. I almost exclusively use natural/existing light, and when I do use flash it’s a manual flash that camera doesn’t know about anyway (fp is really bad with flash compatibility).

Gear

Enthusiast of open-source tool RawTherapee for interpreting raw image data. (Previously used Lightroom and C1, as well as deferred to built-in JPEG presets in Ricoh GR which are really good.)

My past but much loved gear: Ricoh GR with GH-3 adapter and SUGITOH CPL filter, sometimes on a BallPod.
