WARREN CONNECTICUT – Back in Connecticut with my Hasselblad an the rain. This is one of my favorite images of the season.
The image below proves that dandelions aren’t the only flowers that we have. Nine images focus stacked in Helicon Focus.
On this day one year ago: Maria, one year younger.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Breakfast with Francesca Campbell at the Brasserie. She was coming off of an all-nighter and neither of us were at our best.
On this day one year ago: a low point in my photo journey.
Some days you just do what you have to do. May 27 is turning out to be the “day for mundane photos’.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – More work sorting through my medium format kit. Here is a test shot outside of Fotocare in New York of a Rodenstock 43mm lens on my Alpa. The Rodenstock had a fair amount of linear distortion, which isn’t evident in this picture because I used an Alpa plugin for Photoshop that corrects lens distortion.
On this day last year: Carnegie Hall.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – I had a productive day walking from my office to our apartment via Central Park, so I’m posting multiple images; all taken with my Leica M9. Here is a sunbather on Sherman’s statue in the Plaza taken with my Leica and a 90mm lens.
The Metropolitan Club. Founded by JP Morgan for his steel baron clients who couldn’t get into the Union Club. Captures with my Leica and a 90mm lens.
A lazy summer afternoon shot in Central Park with my Leica and a 90mm lens.
Finally, the Metropolitan Museum. Three frames stitched shot with my Leica and a 35mm Summilux lens.
On this day last year: Party at Gus’s.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – I’m in a quandry about my medium format camera gear. I like the Hasselblad very well as a camera, but the digital back part of it has some shortcomings when used on a technical camera. The way my shooting style has evolved most of my medium format shooting is being done on a tech camera. So I spent this morning with a demo Phase One IQ 180 back at Digital Transitions. This is out their window looking accross 35th Street. Alpa Max camera with a 36mm Schneider APO lens and a Phase One IQ 180 back:
On this day one year ago: Film Society of Lincoln Center.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – A lazy day, photographically. We’re gearing up to a have a large party tomorrow; I brought flowers back from Connecticut last night; Here’s an arrangement. Taken with my Hasselblad H4D-60 camera and an HC 100 mm lens.
On this day one year ago: Parking Garage.
WARREN, CONNECTICUT – Here we are, back outside in the rain with my Alpa in hand. Actually on a tripod. Rain intensifies the browns and greens in the landscape so this is a nice opportunity to get close. Here are two samples from a series. These were taken with my Alpa TC, a 48mm Schneider APO lens and a Hasselblad digital back. Both images were made with focus stacks. I made seven exposures in each case, with each exposure focusing on a different point, and combined them with a software package called Helicon Focus. This results in much greater depth of field than could be obtained otherwise.
. . . and . . .
On this day last year: Brunch at CT.
