MUSTIQUE – We went on a picnic to Macaroni beach. Here’s an image taken with my Hasselblad H4D-60, followed by a sunset with the same camera. As you have seen from the previous post we were in exactly the same place for lunch on January 26, 2010.

MUSTIQUE – The house that we’re staying at, L’Ansecoy, belongs to Maguy le Coze, owner of Le Bernardin, our favorite restaurant in New York. Anyway, another day another rainbow, and another beautiful sky. Both taken with my Hasselblad H4D-60.

MUSTIQUE – We saw a rare double rainbow today and managed to capture it – rainbows are notoriously difficult to photograph so I count myself as lucky. Following the rainbow is the obligatory shot of the sky. Both taken with my Hasselblad H4D-60

On this day last year: Home theatre, Coccoloba. “Coccoloba” is the name of the house we stayed in last year. Here’s a link to it on the Mustique Company site – the photographs of the house are mine.

MUSTIQUE – So here we go, onward in our survey of skies in the Grenadines. This is three frames taken with my Hasselblad H4D-60 and stitched in Photoshop.

Day 466 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

On this day one year ago: A not very good image from Firefly, one of the three places on Mustique that serve food to the public.

ON BOARD THE SHROUD DANCER – So I’ve decided to focus on skies this trip. In color. Using a circular polarizer which in the general direction of 90˚ from the sun darkens the sky dramatically. In other words “the hell with not hackneyed”. Maybe even a bit in the direction of kitsch.

Here we are sailing to Bequia on board a friend’s boat, the Shroud Dancer. Take with my Hasselblad H4D and a 28mm lens. This is two frames stitched.

Day 465 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

On this day last year: Guess what – Mustique!. This is the post with my self-important note about color in the tropics.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – I watched a remarkable light develop out my office window. Rain wet Third Avenue reflected light that seemed to be shining only on it. Another demonstration that there are pictures all around us if only we watch for them. Four exposures take with my Lecia M9 and a 90mm Elmarit lens stitched in Photoshop.
