WARREN AND KENT BULLS BRIDGE CONNECTICUT – Terry Tanner’s barn, taken with my ALpa TC, 72mm Schneider XL lens and Phase One IQ 180 back. Two frames stitched. The resulting pixel dimensions are 16,300 x 8000, for an astounding 130 megs of total resolution. Actual file size is 1.5 gigabytes, near the 2.0 gig limit for tiff files. Needless to say it produces a lovely very large print.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I walked around the Village this afternoon with my Alpa TC. There was wonderful Edward Hopper light – just enough haze to open up the shadows – the IQ 180 back’s color rendering actually got the light right. Here are a couple of examples:

WARREN CONNECTICUT – As noted yesterday we rode out tropical storm Irene in Connecticut. It rained 8 inches in a few hours, causing minor erosion damage – but no other problems. Amazingly good luck. Here’s what things looked like post storm. Taken with my Alpa TC and a 35mm Schneider XL lens.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Tropical storm Irene arrived early this morning with more rain than we’ve ever seen before. We had plenty of warning and were well-prepared – we suffered essentially no damage. This was not a bad as a typical winter ice storm. We brought some statues back from Bali years ago – here we’ve laid one on its back so it won’t be blown over. Taken with my Alpa TC and 35mm Schneider Digitar.
