NEW YORK NEW YORK – Veterans Day. There is an annual parade up Fifth Avenue. Here’s the NYPD marching band as well as some typical (for me) street stuff, including an entry for my ongoing alleys project. Today I’m back to shooting my Leica Monochrom and Luxocron lens.
Day 2218 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1853): Calder
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m experimenting with my relatively new Sony Alph 7rii. This is a “mirrorless” camera that packs a 42 meg full sized sensor into a relatively small package. It has excellent high ISO performance. With various adapters it works with just about every lens ever made from every manufacturer. It this point the only native lens that I have for it is the excellent Zeiss Batis 85mm. I did a lot of stitched images today, which results in very large files. Processing them on my Mac Pro desktop is fine, but they bring my iMac in Connecticut to its knees. The files require a fair amount of post-processing work to generate good gray scale images. Interesting times.
I’ve also thrown in an iPhone selfie.
Day 2216 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1851}: Late Fall I clearly suffer from Autumn fatigue at this time of year.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Many New Yorkers commute on foot. This time of year there are very long shadows in the late afternoon when people hit the streets. All images with my Leica Monochrom.
Day 2211 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1846): Really wide on the street.
HOPEWELL JUNCTION NEW YORK – While driving up to Pine Plains I spotted this house covered with pumpkins. Stitched from 6 frames taken with my Leica Monochrom and90mm lens. The second image is the same house, taken with a 24mm Summilux lens, two frames stitched and distortion corrected.
Day 2210 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1845): Francesca makes a plan. A year later she’s moved into the apartment that she was planning work on in this image.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I shot odds and ends today – first around the house to make sure that I got an image for the day, then from an event on Canal Street. All with my Leica Monochrom.
Day 2209 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 383): Monumental woman, shot with my Leica M9 and a 15mm lens. Originally in color.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A good walking around day here with nice light doing big multi-frame stitches with my Leica Monochrom.
Day 2206 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 745): After the blizzard
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent some time on Sixth Avenue (nee Avenue of the Americas) and Lexington Avenue today, of course with my Leica Monochrom over my shoulder. I’ve been experimenting with using the 90mm Summichron (a lovely lens) as a walk around tool. Since I shoot primarily wide this means that I’m doing large (9 frames or larger) stitches. This seems to be working ok.
Day 2203 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 742): Madison Avenue in the Rain
