The Tower Theater in Roseville on a Saturday night. I was backing up my camera’s SD card before I formatted them. I really need to edit the rest of these. #neonsigns + #promistfilter.

“MidTown Sac Fill Flash Photo Dump…” I decided to walk around and explore MidTown as the sun was starting to set. Had the Godox IM30 flash. I manually underexposed by a couple of stops, then used the fill flash with varying degrees of success.

Some infrared photos of Isleton, CA. Shot on an IR-converted Nikon D90 (720nm). I’m going to have to keep bringing this one with me for bright sunlight + green foliage. Definitely a unique look.

“Light, Shadows, Textures, and Patterns…” Simplifying with monochrome amidst a sea of beautiful color palettes in this small town.

Fun times today in Isleton with the #CamerasandCoffee916 crew. My first time exploring the Sacramento Delta. Lots of colorful, interesting buildings. Lots of history. #photomeetup #sacramentodelta #sacramentophotographers

Some evening canine portrait practice with the Nikon D200 and the Nikon SB-800 flash. I couldn’t get the black lab to look at the camera. All good. Our chihuahua mix made up for it by hamming it up to the camera. lol! #❤️🐾🐾🐾

Some photos from a road trip last month using the Nikon D200. It was fun shooting with a 20-year-old DSLR with 10 MP resolution, a max ISO of 1600 and no IBIS. Almost like shooting a film camera. I need to capture more family, friends, and document the everyday moments.

Playing with the “kinda vintage” Nikon D200 and it’s #CCDsensor magic today! Value-priced + filmic/nostalgic look. Explored some dog-friendly beaches. Lots of canine and human steps achieved. Unconventional Turkey Day. Thankful to be outdoors. 📷👍 🛶
