Joshua Tree National Park / January 30, 2023 by John Lazo

At the start of the new year I camped in Joshua Tree National Park for a few days with my girlfriend. It was chilly, especially with the wind, but great to be outside and enjoy nature. I recently purchased the Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM lens, so it was an awesome opportunity to experiment with it. I was particularly impressed with its detail in the middle ground, especially at f/11.

Below are some of my favorite images from a great start to the new year. All the pictures were made with a Canon EOS R5 using either a 15-35mm or 70-200mm lens.

Khola, Newbury Park, California / June 16, 2020 by John Lazo

Over the course of the lockdown due to COVID-19, I started on a small photography project. I photographed my dog, Khola over the course of several different evenings. I challenged myself to use a variety of lenses including a 50mm prime lens, a 16-35mm wide angle lens, a 24-70mm lens, a 100mm macro lens, and finally a 70-200mm telephoto lens. I compiled the best images from the different evenings. Check them out!
