The fall of 2007 with the Canon 20D and the 24-85 3.5-4.5 EF lens. Shot at the NY Botanic Garden. The effect was caused by water on the lens - condensation after entering the green house on a cold November afternoon. A little increase in contrast in PP was all it took.

Shot on February of 2002 with the Olympus E20. The DUMBO area while it was being gentrified.

Taken in Hon Kong in June of 1971 with the Canon Ft and a Canon 50mm 1.4 FL lens with Ektachrome 64 and scanned. Yes it was that long ago. Some color has faded as expected from Ektachrome.

Shot at the Saline di Mozia in Sicily in the summer of 2004 with the Nikon D70 and the 18-70 3.5-4.5 Nikkor.

The glory of fall with the Nikon D700 and the 24-70 Nikkor 2.8G at 24.. at F 8.

Still in Pennsylvanya. A bucolic autumnal scene with the D700 and the 24-70 2.8 G Nikkor.

Still in the country. This photo of the Deleware River is from Narrowsburg, NY. This year the foliage is somewhat dissapointing as a wind storm made amny leaves fall before they could have reached their slendor. This shot is with the Nikon D700 and the 14mm Nikkor 2.8 lens.
