MANHATTAN – An iPhone image from Sixth Avenue and 44th Street. The camera that you have with you is the best camera. This is the ICP’s learning center.
Day 3137 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this date two years ago (day 2407): Boston
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Back to normal focal lengths with my 24-70 Sony GM lens at 35mm Just OK. Really long is better for me.
Day 3136 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this date six years ago (day 3136): Francesca graduates!! A major day for all of us.
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – Still shooting at the wide end of the Sony 12-24mm G zoom. Delightful lens to shoot, if you like wide.
Day 3135 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this date two years ago (day 2405 of one photo every day): Grating shot with Rigid Summicron.
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – I’m here for two days of meetings, traveling with the Sony super-wide as my only lens. Both images below shot at 12mm. I solved the foreground problem by cropping to square in the first image and finding a trash can to be the foreground in the second.
Day 3134 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day eight years ago (day 577 of one photo every day): Noctilux. This is timely. I still own the Nocti, and will until I die. My next experiment is running through my large selection of Leica 50mm lenses on the Sony.
MANHATTAN – Today I shot out a taxi window with my iPhone into amazing sunset light. As always the best camera in the world is the one that you have with you.
Day 3133 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this date three years ago (day 2037 of one photograph every day): Shadows
MANHATTAN – Another day shooting real wide with my new 12-24 Sony G lens. One issues shooting cityscape or landscape with a very wide lens is the following: the lens really needs to be level or the perspective gets weird. That generally means that there is too much foreground – half the frame filled with the ground. The solutions are to crop to square, cropping the foreground out, or as I’ve done today, find something to fill the foreground. Working wide results in a lot of near-far images.
Day 3132 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this date eight years ago (day 211 of one photo every day): Citicorp Center One of my favorite images from this project.
MANHATTAN – Here we are at home with this super wide 12-24mm Sony lens, shooting at 12mm. Controlling these very wide lenses is actually a bear: the slighted tilt or non orthogonal positioning results in incurably weird distortion. You will see below that the lens a perfectly rectilinear, probably as a result of profile corrections automatically applied in Lightroom.
Day 3131 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life. A repeating number.
On this date five years ago (day 1305 of one photo every day): Home sweet home
