NEW YORK NEW YORK – At last a lucid day on familiar turf. Still shooting infrared with my Sony a7ii – today without an R72 filter so the infrared effect is less extreme. These aren’t half bad. The third image is mostly out of focus, demonstrating the very good “bokeh” of this camera’s native 85mm Carl Zeiss lens.
Day 2309 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day six years ago (day 118): Blizzard
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Still shooting infrared. This was a crowded day so I only managed some rushed shots around the Seagrams building.
Day 2308 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 482): Seagrams Building shot with film. Same place, much different image.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – So my Sony A7ii is back from being converted to infrared light. Its bandpass is designed to let in some visible red light which converted to black and white produces a fairly subtle infrared effect. Adding an R72 filter in front of the lens cuts out all visible light and leads to extremes looking effects. I’m shooting today with legacy Leica lenses and an R72 filter.
Day 2304 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1939): Jodhpur
PARIS – Another day here, this time along the Canal St. Martin, which conveniently or inconveniently, depending on your point of view, has been drained for cleaning and repairs. All images shot with my little Leica Q.
Day 2301 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1936): Sacred cow
PARIS – I had a productive day today and had trouble editing photos down to a reasonable number so I’m presenting a mini-gallery.
Day 2300 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day six years ago (day 109): Chrysler Building
PARIS – We had a busy day of shopping today so not much going on visually. Here’s a view of the Institute du Monde Arabe.
Day 2299 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day six years ago (day 108): More infra red
PARIS – Still shooting my little Leica Q. Tonight we attended the birthday party for Laure de Gramont, at Maxim’s. Laure’s party took over the whole of Maxim’s. This is the reason why we’ve come to Paris.
Day 2298 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
From earlier in the day.
On this day six years ago (day 107): Infrared I was shooting infrared six years ago with my Leica M8 which was good for this purpose because it had poor infrared filtering. I just recently bought a Sony a7R and had it converted to IR shooting, so you’ll be seeing a number of new IR images from me.
