Blue Mosque at Sunset

I am in Istanbul for a short while with my family and I could not resist shooting the Blue Mosque at sunset earlier today, especially once I saw the potential for some color in the sky. I only took the Hasselblad X1D with two lenses (45mm f/3.5 and 90mm f/3.2)...

Partying with 14mm? Thoughts from an Ultra-Wide Holdout

May 19, 2017 By Spencer Cox 47 Comments

PL pushing 4

Like many photographers I like to experiment with my camera gear and push it to see what will happen. Today I went to RaptorFest 2017 in Grimsby Ontario to view the displays and catch some of the animal presentations. The indoor lighting was less than ideal and I decided to...
