Glimmerglassed: The Fast Fuji 50 f/1.0 with Diffusion
(This post is part of a series of posts reviewing the Fuji 50mm f lens.) If you hold it and shift it around so the light reflects off the glass, the surface of a Glimmerglass filter looks like it has…
Faithful and Confused
At two in the morning, California time, the number next to Georgia went from red to blue. Like some physics-class demonstration, the addition of mostly blue votes to the pool is changing the color of the pool, now more blue…
