WARREN CONNECTICUT – Out with my drone again. This time with a replacement after my crash a couple of weeks ago. I’m still climbing the learning curve with the camera. What I learned today:

How to program buttons and dials on the drone’s controller to give me easy control over the camera.

Images come out best if you dial in ⅔ stop negative exposure bias.

Multiple frame stitches are possible.

Framing takes a steady hand and patience.

Oblique views are often more interesting that straight down.

ANTIGUA – The sky was startling this morning after heavy rains last night. I shot about 160 degrees of sunrise, stitching five frames. I’ve included the final image and the the middle frame below.

On this day last year (day 2,324): Highline

ANTIGUA – Today I worked with my Leica Monochrom and Leica 50mm Summicron Asp. lens (which I call the “Luxochron”), shooting wide open with a .9 ND filter (three stops). The out-of-focus rendering of this lens is amazingly appealing (to my eyes) for such a highly corrected lens. The close up of the water lily flower was taken with my iPhone 7, which gives good service as a close up camera.

ANTIGUA – My photo-a-day project was helped along today by an absolutely Biblical sky a bit after sunrise. Shot with my Leica Monochrom and 21mm Super-Elmar lens. Two frames stitched.

ANTIGUA – We watched the start of the annual RORC Caribbean 600 race from a friend’s house. Amazingly the fastest boats, high tech multihulls, cover 600 miles in under 24 hours. The sails are black because they are made of Kevlar. Also images at the beach. I’m shooting my Leica Monchrom and 50mm Summicron Asp. with a neutral density filter so I can shoot wide open.

Day 2,685 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

On this day seven years ago (day 128): Pinhole image taken in Milford PA.
