NEW YORK NEW YORK – A prolific day. I took time to slow down and shoot. The light in Manhattan was lovely. I wasn’t fighting the cold, a cold, equipment issues or anything else. Leica Monochrom and 50mm Summicron Asp. lens.
Day 2,696 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’ve been exploring the relationship of New York to its natural setting for a while now. Recently I’ve been shooting wide open, with a neutral density filter if need be, to isolate trees and other natural features from buildings. Here are a couple of examples from today, and as a specaial, extra added bonus, Times Square at night.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Another day of droning – this time on Lake Waragaug, and trying a four frame stitch, which worked fine. not a very exciting image. I’ll be working with stitches with this thing to build up larger files than the native 12 meg files from the camera.

On this day three years ago (day day 1,597): Lever House
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 â…” 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.
