Port of Oakland

Photos from around the Alameda side of the Port of Oakland.

Shots from Europe

Here are a few more of my pictures from my trip to Europe this summer.

Pisa

I don't really like Pisa since it's such a normal place, and when I'm traveling through Europe I want every place I visit to blow my brains. The tower was cool, but that's honestly all there was.

M3 Photo Shesh

Damn M3's are awesome

More 5D Video

This one actually took some time and effort, and I was filming much more interesting stuff than usual.

Another 5D MarkII video

I've been consistently annoying Ashcon to let me shoot video with his 5D, and here is some of the crap I came up with.

Cheap Macro

I fairly recently got an m42 mount 28mm f/2.8 lens, which isn't very much fun on its own due to the fact that it's manual focus and not terribly sharp wide open. Having been an idiot with my money, I also bought a set of m42 extension tubes, which I forgot about until a few days ago. I had tried them on my 135mm f/2.8 weeks before, but that lens performed quite poorly with them. Putting the tubes on the 28mm lens made it hugely more fun, and since macro is usually done at f/8 and above, the wide open sharpness doesn't matter. Check out the slideshow for some of the results (the indoor ones were with flash)
