Nikon D5 with the Nikkor 70-200 f/4 lens
Today, Robert G Allen Photography reached a major website traffic milestone: we surpassed 100,000 website sessions as measured by www.statcounter.com
First, let’s explain exactly what a website session is according to statcounter: a single, continuous period of activity by a visitor on your website. It encompasses all the actions a user takes, such as page views, clicks, and downloads, from the moment they arrive until they leave or go inactive. So, basically, when a visitor comes to the website and then leaves the website in one continuous visit, that counts as one website session.
A website session is not the same as a website visitor. A single unique visitor can have multiple sessions in a single day, week, or month. One session represents one individual "visit" to a website.
With all the details out of the way, let’s reflect on this accomplishment. I’m aware that some sites get to 100,000 sessions in less than a minute. This website was started in September of 2020. As you can imagine, that was a perfect time to start and build a website since it was during the COVID pandemic when I had very few event assignments. I have always wanted another website, separate from my event photography site ( www.ProImage-Photo.com ), to showcase my non-event photography content. That’s when www.RobertAllen-Photography.com was conceived.
To all my visitors, I hope you have enjoyed reading the articles and viewing the photos on my site over the past 6 years and hope you continue to return as new articles are posted weekly.
In the comments below (no sign-in required) let me know how the sight can be improved and what you like or dislike about my content.
A sincere thank you to all of our new and returning readers!
I thought it was time to do a refresh of the blog header photo collage. At first, I was only going to replace a few of the photos. But upon further thought, I decided to replace them all. So, I went into my Capture One 250,000 photo archive and looked for 7 replacements that would adapt to a vertical slanted format.
I just learned that a person who I have followed for many years in the photography world and who had a brief stint in my home town of Rochester New York (he attended Rochester Institute of Technology), has passed away.
The Nikon’s Zfc DX mirrorless retro camera has received a small firmware update with the following changes:
I’m fortunate that I live close to a nature trail that runs along a small creek, just a few minutes’ drive away from my home. It’s during this time of year that you are more likely to find interesting things to photograph along the trail.
One of my favorite lenses, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S line lens receives a minor firmware update, going from version 1.10 to 1.20. These are the changes:
One of my all time favorite lens for portraits was the Nikon Nikkor AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II F- mount lens. If this new Z lens is even close to the performance of the older lens (which I’m sure it will be or better), this is sure to be a popular addition to the Z line of optics.
On there website today, they posted the following message:
It is with great disappointment that on May 2, 2026, Spirit Airlines started an orderly wind-down of our operations, effective immediately. To our Guests: all flights have been cancelled, and customer service is no longer available. We are proud of the impact of our ultra-low-cost model on the industry over the last 33 years and had hoped to serve our Guests for many years to come.
The Flower Moon was in full bloom last evening. The first of the full moons in May, it’s called the Flower Moon because it appears when the spring flowers are starting to blossom.
On a clear blue sky day, I was working in my backyard and noticed a few contrails overhead. I decided to take a look at the site Flight radar 24 to see if anything interesting was approaching the Idaho area. Wow, what luck! Not one but 2 Airbus A380s, the world’s largest passenger airplanes, were heading straight for Idaho.
As you can see, Dixie is not the first to move on from Nikon. Keith Ladzinski was also poached by canon. When you are a distance 3rd place in market share, these types of embarrassments will continue to happen to Nikon.
At some point, I will be done with my event photography business. And when that happens, I plan on exploring other photography topics more fully (that I have been putting on hold due to time constraints) such as food, landscapes and sports. Along with my plan on taking more sports photos, I thought I would expand my Nikon mirrorless camera body portfolio with a body that aligns more closely with that goal.
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.
