SINGER ISLAND – Here’s another out my window (actually off of our terrace) with the Ricoh Monochrome. The camera’s lens is wide, a 28mm equivalent. It offers “crop modes” equivalent to 35mm and 50mm. Interestingly the camera upscales the cropped files to roughly 30 megapixels. I expected the worst, but the files are actually flawless. This is a demanding architectural subject shot in the 50mm cropped mode and upscaled by the camera. The highlights aren’t blown and there’s reasonable shadow detail. There’s no barrel of pin cushion distortion.

Looking back six years to an image taken on film with a Hasselblad XPan Camera. This is a detail from the George F. Baker House, located at 67-69 East 93rd Street near Park Avenue in Manhattan, an historic Gilded Age mansion designed by Delano & Aldrich in the 1920s.Day 3,783 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
