If I weren’t completely worn out from an amazing day at the La Fleur Weddings workshop, I’d write a really long post about everything we learned and absorbed today. But I am oh so sleepy, and need to get to bed, so my mind is alert and ready for another full day of learning. I […]
Another amazing day in Maui has gone by. Today Wes and I got up at 4:30am to head out to a sunrise whale watching cruise. We saw so many whales, it was truly amazing. From there we went back up to the blowhole. Don’t know why, but we are also fascinated by this part of […]

beautiful
Here’s a little snapshot of our day. We just took it easy today, and mainly sat back and enjoyed watching windsurfers and whales and sea turtles. It was awesome. And then tonight, a few of us who got here early for the workshop, got together at Cafe des Amis and had a fantastic time getting […]

So beautiful and so much fun!
Today marked day 2 of our time in Maui. It also marked my 34th birthday. A year ago, we were holding our babies in Ethiopia. Today we took the road to Hana. This is about a two hour drive over 54 miles IF you don’t stop. It took Wes and I just over 4 hours. […]

Love these photos. I’ve Never been to Hawaii but this sure makes me think about it a little more. Gorgeous, especially when I’m looking out my window and seeing a frozen tundra right now!
Well, it’s true. We are in Hawaii. Maui, to be exact. And let’s be honest…it’s not too shabby. We are here for an amazing workshop that starts on Sunday, put on by Jill LaFleur of LaFleur Weddings. I’ll talk about that more later…for now I’ll just say that we will get to shoot with Jose […]

Debra Eby - Ahh, I’m so jealous. Love that you got to shoot with Joel and Jose. How is it shooting with the Contax? I’m dabbling in film right now, but only my 35 mm. I’m way to scared to jump into medium format. Something I’d love to do though.
Jon - Thanks for sharing ! Sounds like a fantastic experience !
So Jose uses manual focus instead of autofocusing with the Contax 645 ? Did he mention why ? 🙂
Nina Mullins - I think most people who use the contax use the manual focus because the auto is not super accurate. But I do know of one or two photographers that use the auto and adjust from there. 🙂
Hernando - Actually, the Contax has a very accurate AF system. A quick Google will bear me out on this. What people complain about is its slowness, a result of its designers creating a super-precise focusing system with speed as a very secondary objective. Also, it saves on battery life which is very short with this camera. 🙂 Glad you are enjoying your new camera!
