NEW YORK NEW YORK – Continuing with Sony A7Rii week. I went out today with the Sony 70-200mm f2.8 zoom on the camera. What a load. For street use you look like you’re equipped to cover the Superbowl. a very big lens but marvelous. It’s actually an improvement over the Canon lens of similar description, which I’ve owned, and referred to as the “miraculous drain pipe”. A very high quality lens but hardly practical as a walk around.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – This is a continuation of Sony A7rii week for me, shooting in midtown with the Sony 50mm ZA lens, which is a sensational performer in all respects except for its huge bulk.

On this day last year (day 2,518): Look up in Manhattan
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent the better part of the day downtown in the World Trade Center area. Some good images at the 9/11 Memorial. Some touristy images around the Oculus transportation hub. All images shot with a 24-70 zoom on my Sony A7Rii. I don’t ordinarily work with zooms because they are never as good corner to corner as the best primes shooting wide open, which is where I like to work. This one is pretty good, but is heavy and bulky, negating the small size advantage of the Sony.

On this day last year (day 2,516): Window. In general not much going on on September 4 for the past seven years.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I took a walk today in a neighbor’s woods where he stores disused farm equipment. Shot with my Sony A7rii and my Leica f.95 Noctilux lens (used wide open in this image), which results in characteristic edgy bokeh. Converted to black and white with my own formula, an attempt to match film response. The Nocti is actually easier to focus on the Sony than it is on a Leica body.
Day 2,880 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day seven years ago (day 323): Infrared abstract on 57th Street.
