📸 Ever wondered why the same lens "feels" different on different cameras? You're not alone.

I hit Henry W. Coe State Park for a side-by-side field test to demystify one of photography's most misunderstood concepts: Crop Factor.

This isn't just about theory; it's about seeing the real-world impact. Swipe through to see a glimpse of why your 50mm lens isn't always a 50mm lens!

Knowing the "why" behind your gear changes how you compose, how you plan, and how you capture with intention. Stop guessing your focal length, start mastering your craft.

Howdy y'all. You know how life gets away from you sometimes? This year has been one of those "sometimes". :) Well, I'm slowly starting to shake the rust off on this online social stuff. Looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and meeting some new friends along the way.

Have a great day. See you on the trail.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

With all that is going on in the world, I'm resolved not to give in to the belief that everything is terrible and to practice seeking at least one thing per day that brings me joy whether that's five minutes of quiet reflection or being better at reaching out to friends and family just to say hi.

What are your resolutions for the coming year? What brings you joy?
