WARREN CONNECTICUT – This is what the drone saw just before I backed it into a tree branch and it crashed.
Day 2665 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 2299): Institute du Monde Aribe
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I drove up here today to pick up the dogs (they stayed here while we were in Cartagena) and to meet with contractors, wrapping up the building project that we started last summer.We should be finished by the end of February. I got the drone out in good light at the top of Tanner Hill Road here.
Day 2,664 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 2,298): Party at Maxime’s, Paris. Life is good.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Another . . . drone day. I got up with the dun this morning and got lucky with some good grazing light. I have’t really edited these as I’m still sorting out what I like and don’t like. Later in the day we visited a friend in upstate New York who is renovating a major inn named Troutbeck.
Day 2,650 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day six years ago (day 459): winter landscape.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – A couple of good developments today. First, we’ve actually finished three rooms in the renovation and expansion project that we started here late last summer – see a finished bedroom below.
Second, my drone arrived. I spent a couple of hours learning how to turn it on and take off and land, and finally to get it airborne and navigated around here. On the first major outing I ran it into some tree branches – it’s good at avoiding obstacles but not small wires and branches – without major damage. I found out why the manufacturer includes a couple of extra sets of rotor blades. You’re going to see a lot of shots from high angles on weekends as I master it. The challenge of course is taking photographs that have interest beyond their point of view.
So here you go:
Day 2648 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day seven years ago (day 91): look up on Sixth Avenue.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – A really good day here with nice light. Again, embracing the landscape.
Day 2592 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 1496): Park Avenue
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Continuing to find my way with my little Sony camera. This image tests flare resistance. I have the remarkably good Zeiss Batis lenses for this camera, the 25mm and 85mm. They are good in every sense, including lovely rendering and good bokeh, and their technical performance is near perfect. Autofocus performance is crisp and positive. I’ve got the camera set up well for my needs and I’m getting past the teething pains adjusting to a new device.
Day 2578 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 1117): Billboard
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I drove up here for the day to check on the progress on construction and to pick up the dogs. Full throated fall foliage.
Day 2572 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
