slrmagic toy lens 26mm f1.4 sample image

In the grand scheme, I’ve been thinking about what I want Talking Tree Photo to become? It is a work of art in progress. I’m building the skin and bones at the moment and it’s taking a while! Coming up shortly will be my first lens review for Talking Tree Photo. I recently purchased a “Toy Lens” from SLRMagic (their store is on eBay). The focal length is 26mm with an aperture that stops down to F1.4 for low light. This manual focus lens is designed specially for the Micro Four Thirds format. It takes digital photography back to the old days of analog, in the sense that you have to slow down and think about the images that you are composing especially when you have to manually focus every frame. Stay tuned!

The thought of putting a lot of time and effort into this project is overwhelming. I don’t know where to start so I wanted to build an outline and get it rolling now during that process. I figure I have so much on my mind, that a lot of things can’t wait that there’s more than enough to blog about photography. In the grand scheme, I want to share these thoughts so that others can benefit from my insight. Photography has never been just a hobby for me. It’s a powerful tool that has connected me to the world and put me in touch with the land. It’s never been a venture that made much money but as an artist it has done more to satisfy my heart.

People are always interested in capturing images whether they consider themselves photographers or not. Some just like to take snapshots and have a camera. What we are doing is capturing the world around us while telling a story without words. We are what you would call the Image Makers. There’s an important role that Image Makers play in the world. Their content, and the work they produce enter our world every day in every publication, newspaper, magazine, and everything that is visual. It’s not just still photography that Image Makers produce but filmmaking and cinematography play huge roles. We wouldn’t have movies if it weren’t for the artists that capture landscapes through their vision slash intuition.

In the end, I’m not very secular. I believe the Creator gave me a love for capturing images.After so many years, it shapes the way I see life and the beauty around me. Photography became a healing tool that provided a lot joy and satisfaction and the least I can do is provide a resource that gives back and inspires others in same way. I’ll do this as time allows.

You’re a looking at a brand new photography blog & review site that will contain advice, tips, reviews, secrets, and inspiration on all things photography. I’ve been wanting to create a resource like this for several years and I’m finally bringing it to fruition. So stay tuned as I begin constructing this new space. People keep asking me for tips, and advice when it comes to photography and I thought maybe I could volunteer some time to create this site and start writing and blogging about something that I’m very extremely passionate about. Photography has always been something that I’ve loved doing ever since taking pictures when I was just a wee child.

If you’re looking for my photoblog is has moved here: http://talkingtree.org/iblog – So be sure to check out my images until I begin posting and building this new site. :) If you have any questions or requests to hesitate to ask. I’m gearing up to write some new reviews in the very near future, so stay tuned!
