Lunar eclipse with Fujifilm GFX-50S and Konica Hexanon AR 400mm f/5.6 lens
I spent a night trying to capture the blood moon. It was so cold that night.
Madison Skyline
Not many people would take a photo of Madison skyline on a gloomy day. You probably have seen lots of Madison skyline photos that are much more “beautiful” than this one. If you haven’t, doing a Google search will get you there. So I told myself, “I’m not going to make another one of those. …
A northern cardinal
This photo of a male northern cardinal was taken with Fujifilm X-Pro1 and Konica Hexanon AR 400mm f/5.6 UC AE lens.

Fujifilm X-Pro1 and Konica Hexanon Lenses
It’s about time to bring my Konica Hexanon Project into digital era. The Fujifilm X-Pro1 seems to be an ideal camera for the project, and I really love the color rendering from the X-Trans sensor. Its poor auto-focus would not bother me anyway, at least for this project, but I wish I could enter the …
