A sample shot I made with the Nikon V1, Nikon’s latest contribution to the mirrorless cameras. This feature is unique to Nikon, called the motion snapshot, where the camera recors a few milliseconds of motion before and after the actual shot. and it gives it background music too!

white orchids on a rainy day.

the phaelenopsis shot from up front. it is a white flower but tinges of pink and blue are noticeable at this close up front shot.

another shot of the orchid from above, i used a bigger aperture this time to soften that bokeh.

new flowers from this plant. it has been more than a year since this orchid bloomed. thought of taking the shot with a different angle and lighting.

This crucifix is the altar of the Sagrad Familia. I think that Christ is wrapped in plastic here because of the ongoing work inside the church – to prevent it from getting damaged. I would want to see it again when the church is finally finished!

reality is surreal when using infrared-converted cameras. ordinary shots, like this view from our porch can be quite a curiosity with this camera.

life goes by so fast. take the time to stop and look around at the beauty around you…
