I love my Nikon Z6II mirrorless camera. I hope this page serves as an inspiration as to what can be accomplished with this little gem of a camera, the NIkon Z6II.

I have finally setup my first single topic portfolio on aviation. Aviation is one of the subjects that I seek out, both when at home and while traveling. It’s been a passion of mine for a long time.

Welcome to Robert G Allen Photography. I'm a professional multi-disciplinary commercial freelance photographer based in the Pacific Northwest and a Nikon DSLR Enthusiast.
While my career has primarily been as an event photographer, this website represents other areas of photography for which I have professional competency and enjoyment. The resulting front page gallery and single subject galleries are the result of a combination of client assignments and personal areas of interest.
Today, I received the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4 mirrorless lens. Considering that it’s not a S line lens, the build quality is pretty good. It’s light and the lens hood is not too big or too small. I would say overall, the design has a pleasing esthetic compact look.
