WARREN CONNECTICUT – Poor weather for people. Good weather for photographs. Shot with my Sony a7Riii and 24-70 zoom. Still trying to work with this lens in a landscape setting. It’s only ok.

MANHATTAN – I walked around midtown west today, between Sixth Avenue and Hell’s Kitchen. Typical stuff but not bad. Shot with my Sony A7riii and Sony’s pretty good 24 – 70 zoom lens The question is whether this lens (or any zoom) is up to the corner-to-corner fussiness that I bring to this project. (Using a single lens in this focal length range would be really convenient for me.) The answer appears to be “almost” but not with a lot of headroom. I’m still working on it.

On this date five years ago (day 1478 of one photo every day): Fall color in black and white. I shot this image with my Leica S medium format camera which was plenty of camera to stand up to my fussy technique but had some quality control issues and was large for a carry around camera. I like this image’s muted palette.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I wandered the Upper West Side today with my Sony A7riii and the well-thought-of 24-90 native Sony zoom. I usually don’t like zooms but this one performs well. The real issue with it is that it’s Bokeh (the quality of the out of focus parts of images) is “edgy”, which I don’t like at all – I prefer “creamy.”

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I shot rocks and trees in the rain today with my Sony a7riii. Here’s where my self-imposed limit to black and white images bites: the images were nuanced and lovely in color, but a jumble in black and white. I’m posting both today to illustrate.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – It’s been raining on weekends here. A lot. So we have images of a rainy day, and my typical struggles trying to find meaning in the Easter deciduous landscape. The weather sealing on the Sony A7riii got a test and passed with flying colors.
