NEW YORK, NEW YORK – I spent a few hours today getting to know some new equipment.  Most of the images on this blog are taken with a Leica M9, which has the advantage of sensational image quality but is very much a traditional Leica.  The manual rangefinder focus and limited high ISO capacity has presented issues for me in poor light like Martha McPhee’s book party.  I also shoot Hasselblad digital medium format, but it’s unwieldy at parties and events.  I’ve been experimenting with a Nikon D700 and fast prime lenses for parties and events – this is the new (to me) equipment that that I referred to above.  This is a torture test for lens flare but I liked the image well enough to post it.  An Andrew Moore photograph, a Venini ice cream glass, a Venetian candle stick form 1914 or so and a Deruta cachepot.
