This post is another fortunate accident. Who would photograph a musical with a 100-400mm f/4 to f/5.6 Canon lens? It is too dark! The shutter speed needs to be too high! ISO way beyond noisy!Well, I did it at St. Timothy's production of Jesus Christ Superstar and the results were excellent! I covered this in a previous post and I am still amazed at the outcome. For years I have told people to invest in good glass and that even a modest camera body is pretty good. This picture is an example of that wisdom. The Canon 100-400 f/4-f/5.6 LII…
Style: a distinctive manner or custom of behaving or conducting oneself. Took this photo at Art in The Park in Appleton. I think she has style and character! Canon 5d mkIV | Canon 50mm f/1.2 L | 1/64- at f/2.5
Wednesday night concert in Neenah was the Petty Kings out of Chicago. Excellent tribute band to the Great Tom Petty. These are medium format film shots with my Bronica ETRS camera. I used Kodak Portra 400 film and a Zenza Bronica 150mm f/3.5 lens.
Copper Box played in Neenah on a beautiful July evening. All these photos are using my Bronica medium format camera. All photos 150mm lens and used Kodak Portra 400 film. The film was "over exposed" one stop to test the look - I metered at 200 ISO in stead of 400. Pretty amazing how much detail in both the shadows and highlights when the film is pushed a bit - much better than digital. And no, I am not giving up my digital cameras! Film is just another tool in the box and has it's place. Look for more…

Friday night was A Very Neenah Christmas. Along with the store window live displays there were a number of "street performers" around main street. This poor girl took the double dog dare and ended up stuck to the pole! We debated on whether or not this was her real tongue - looks real to me...

St. Timothy's 2017 Confirmation class - such a nice group of young adults! See more pictures at St. Timothy 2017 Confirmation
We went cruising last Saturday and enjoyed the water on Lake Poygan. My love made a suggestion we cruise down to Oshkosh and maybe we could get a glimpse of the 5:00 airshow at EAA. As we entered Lake Winnebago at Oshoksh we could not believe all the boats just around the corner! There must have been 500! Good idea dear! Finding a nice spot to drop anchor we were treated by an awesome display by the Blue Angels. While I did not have my professional camera I did get some nice shots using my Lumix LX7. I also caught…
Another picture from the Menasha food truck event thing! We were just laying on the grass and enjoying the music where a group of fire performers moved in. Hot lady in more ways than one! Just kidding! Taken with my Panasonic Lumix LX7 - a handy little camera with a great lens. Only 10mp but who needs more. I purposely slowed down the shutter just a bit to get some movement blur - especially the flames. Panasonic Lumix LX7 | 17.7mm | 1/125s at f/2.3
Hey Mister! What ya doin' down there? The things you see laying on the ground in Menasha! This was taken on a Thursday evening while watching the clouds go by. You don't need a fancy camera - just carry a camera with you and have it ready at all times. Panasonic Lumix LX7 | 4.7mm f/3.2 | 1/250s
Water and the Spirit.ย A young girl receives a precious gift! While the picture looks so peaceful in fact the baby cried the whole time!ย No matter - still was a beautiful ceremony.ย Taken with Canon 135mm f/2ย and is a crop of a much larger scene.ย With the 135 I find I need a shutter speed of at least 1/200 to avoid motion blur - fortunately f/2 is totally great with this lens.ย You can see how much detail is in focus even wide open.

St. Mark's joined with Gloria Dei, St. Paul and Our Savior's for a public worship service in Riverside Park, Neenah. Wonderful time together and such a beautiful morning. Canon 5d MkIII | Canon 70-200 f/2.8 II | 200mm | 1/250s at f/4.0
