Olympus E-M5 Portraits
I mentioned in my last post that I use my Nikon kit for shooting for paying clients, and I was asked why that is. I think the short answer is that I know what the Nikon D800E is capable of, but I am not as confident with the image quality from the Olympus OM-D E-M5. I...

New blog post- Nikon D800E vs Olympus OM-D E-M5 in a drag race... well, AT a drag race anyway. These are great cameras. Here are some of my thoughts after using both in some "real life" situations. Olympus OM-D E-M5 vs Nikon D800E | Rob Knight Photography...
At the Races! Nikon D800E vs Olympus E-M5
I spent the day last Sunday at the NHRA Southern Nationals drag race in Commerce, GA. If you haven't been to a Top Fuel drag race, you should definitely check it out! There is nothing like two cars going 0-320 mph in less than FOUR SECONDS. The Southern Nationals is a...
Olympus E-M5: In the Field… Macro mode with the 12-50mm “kit” lens
I'm still putting my new Olympus OM-D E-M5 through the paces with the "kit" 12-50mm lens. I love the idea of a weather-proof lens with an extremely versatile 24-100mm effective focal length. It's not the fastest glass (f/3.5-6.3), but it's still OK for a general...

D800E portraits
' ' ' ' I was excited to put my new Nikon D800e to work and make some family portraits with my wife, our 1-month old son and myself. I set up two Elinchrom Ranger Quadra battery packs to run an Elinchrom 39" deep octa as the main light and the Quadra Ringflash ECO as...

I'm finally going to take my D800e for a real spin today. I have had the chance to shoot anything worth pointing a camera at since I got it. The best I've done so far is these flowers in my yard under overcast skies... I can't wait to aim this sucker at...

The Nikon D800e is capable of much better images than these, but this is this was the best I could do on a windy day with a grumpy three-month old in tow.

My first day out with my new D800e was cut short by a grumpy three-week old, but I managed to make a few frames. I took the family to one of my favorite trails in north GA to shoot some waterfalls. Unfortunately it was very windy and I was not on the trail at for the...
