Retro Self-portrait

Happy New Year! An assignment, if you accept it, is to photograph yourself. It leads to a greater understanding of yourself. You become the subject. If you dare. One of my first cameras was a Kodak Instamatic, which used 126 film. I bought this one for a dollar at a yard sale. It reminds me of when I got my start. www.georgepagephotography.com

Season's Greetings

Happy Holidays! I like to photograph night scenes during the holiday rush. I look for symbols of the season. I found a bright star light, which brought me much delight. I used my Fujifilm X10. The ISO was 800, the shutter speed at 1/30 sec., with an aperture of f 2.5. The focal length was set at 28mm. To view my Street Photo Gallery visit my website at www.georgepagephotography.com

Movie House Poster and Chandelier

Hey, photogs! I'm returning after two months without a post. I've been busy updating my website. Can you guess where this photo was taken? It was taken in a very famous movie house, the Uptown theatre in Washington, DC. I was walking up to the balcony and saw this great retro poster of The Doors music group. Vintage posters are everywhere. Try to find them and capture them before they are gone. Watch for my next photo, and in the main time check out my website at: www.georgepagephotography.com

Puerto Rico's El Yunque

Lizard of Puerto Rico

I hope everyone had a nice summer. I love to travel and capture little chaps like this lizard. Puerto Rico has many species of lizards. I photographed this one in San Juan while walking the streets. It's my guess this little fella is looking for dinner, since the digital photo was taken in the early evening. I cropped the image from a wide angle perpective of 28mm. The ISO was, 400, shutter speed, 1/500 sec., and the aperture, 4.5. I used my Fujifilm X10.

FLAG DAY 2012

Hey, follow photographers. Flag Day comes around ever year, so I had this photo ready to go. I love taking photos of flags, especially the flag of the United States of America. The great, red, white, and blue. Flags can be seen everywhere. I captured this one while walking in the P St. corridor in North West Washington, DC. The 28mm wide angle, ISO of 400, 1/800 shutter speed, and aperture of 7.1 contributed to this late afternoon image of Old Glory. So, look up to the sky, you might see a flag blowing in the wind.

Spring Squirrel

Hello everyone! The photos of this squirrel are good examples of bokeh. I used a telephoto zoom. Can you guess the camera settings? They were 1000/ sec. at F2.8, and ISO of 320. I love observing nature. Be ready for the moment as many photo ops appear quickly.

Tulip After the Rain

Hello, fellow photogs. I love photographing flowers every spring. I saw this beauty of a tulip after a rain fall. This is one of the hardest opportunities to find. I try and always carry one of my cameras with me, so as not to miss a moment like this. I set the camera to program function and activated the macro. The shutter speed was 1/8 of a sec. and the aperture was f2.8. The focal length was 24mm and the ISO was set at 400. Happy shooting!

Magenta Manequin

Hey! You night time shooters. I skipped January, but I'm back. I love shooting at night and combined that with my love of reflection photos. The tourist shop here displayed a manequin showing off the shops merchandise. My new Fujifilm X10 has a fast lens, which is what is needed to photograph at night, to get a sharp and highly saturated digital file.
