NORTHVILLE CONNECTICUT and NEW YORK NEW YORK – Today I captured what looks like an abandoned farm stand using HDR and stitching techniques – this is the technically the best image possible for this mundane subject. Driving back to New York our nav system took us on a circuitous route through Northern Manhattan to avoid traffic. I was stopped in traffic often enough to snag some storefronts.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Shooting around home in the late afternoon (after catching a Mets day game) I had a chance to shoot a number of subjects that required both HDR to lengthen the gray scale, and required multiple image stitches to create a filebigenough to correct perspective without loss of quality. The results were lovely in the case of the first image below. This far exceeds anything that I could have done in film shooting 4×5 and controlling perspective with view camera movements. The image required 18 exposures and about an hour’s work in post.

On this day last year (day 2077): Villedieu France. This is a cat. I don’t photograph cute pets and I don’t care for cats. There do need to be occasional exceptions, however.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I took the L Train out to Brooklyn today, beyond Williamsburg, to check out the urban landscape. Heavy sunlight and dark shadows so I used the hand-held HDR technique that I’ve been working on to take the edge off.
