NEW PRESTON, CONNECTICUT – Here’s the New Preston Congregational Church captured in profile with my Alpa TC, 36mm Schneider lens and 60 meg Hasselblad digital back. I’ve been here before with a camera – a full frontal view is the subject of my post for November 7, 2009 – in one of the early shots in my ongoing project on Churches in Litchfield County.

On this day one year ago: Boating on Lake Waramaug in our 1956 Chris Craft.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I explored another rainy day in Connecticut with my Hasselblad and a 300mm lens. This combination is a handful and really requires a solid tripod – hand holding is out of the question. I particularly like the way that the Hasselblad renders greens. Here is a three frames stitch for an amazing 130 megs in pixel dimensions.

This is another focus stack – nine images combined in Helicon Focus.

On this day one year ago: Lunch in Connecticut.

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.
