NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent a few hours today in good light shooting my Sony Alpha 7rii with thee excellent native Carl Zeiss lens. I actually like this combination a greet deal. I have it set up so that the view through the viewfinder is in black and white. Of course I have to covert the files to black and white in post, which adds significantly to processing time. The 42 meg files bring my older iMac in Connecticut to its knees. Overall a good day.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Veterans Day. There is an annual parade up Fifth Avenue. Here’s the NYPD marching band as well as some typical (for me) street stuff, including an entry for my ongoing alleys project. Today I’m back to shooting my Leica Monochrom and Luxocron lens.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps.

Today I explored grids. Needless to say they are everywhere. The images of the subway grating and sculpture are with my iPhone; the Seagrams Building and Citicorp with my Leica Monochrom.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m experimenting with my relatively new Sony Alph 7rii. This is a “mirrorless” camera that packs a 42 meg full sized sensor into a relatively small package. It has excellent high ISO performance. With various adapters it works with just about every lens ever made from every manufacturer. It this point the only native lens that I have for it is the excellent Zeiss Batis 85mm. I did a lot of stitched images today, which results in very large files. Processing them on my Mac Pro desktop is fine, but they bring my iMac in Connecticut to its knees. The files require a fair amount of post-processing work to generate good gray scale images. Interesting times.

I’ve also thrown in an iPhone selfie.
