Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

Just took a rip to Long Island's wine country to stock up on some great wines. This scene that I photographed on a spring trip a few years ago with the Canon 1D and posted here also, is in the wine country. On this occasion, the original 5D had a Canon 60mm F 1.8 [the older version with the metal mount.] This is a superb lens sharp and contrasty. A real beauty. BTW, no post processing was used. I shot it raw and used DPP to convert the file. Photoshop was used to put the name and date and to re size the image,

Another from the same event. The D200 and the 35-70 3.5-4.5 lens.

Shot on 12-14-2006 with the Mikon D200 and the 35-135 3.6-4.5 Nikkor.

Shot in June of 2006 at a Montessori Teacher Training Graduation with the 5D and the 24-85 3.5-4.5 EF lens.

One of the biggest and oldest problems in photography is the trap that technology lays and snares many of us as we walk our terrain in search for better images. It's always the same story. Getting an edge; getting more resolution; making the photo more "real." Here lies the problem: I reproduce my answer to a post where the individual listed many advantages that technology gave photographers: Although I agree with most of what you say, I take exception to the bit about micro focus. Every shot you has only one point is in focus. Micro focus in the shot you posted makes really no difference at all since you are focusing basically at infinity. Also, there is always depth of field. I do not buy all this techno BS that actually makes pseudo scientists out of many of us. I used Leicas for over 30 years and has you know the RF system is basically an approximation. I got extremely sharp photos. So go figure. Do not get too bogged down on the technical side. If it's an art it ...

Sometimes I wonder why I ever got rid of my D2H's. Yes I was looking for a highre pixel count but when I look at some of the images, years later, I'm struck at the sheer ability of this camera. This photo was shot at the Coney Island Day care Center run bu Catholic Charities, my client. The Lens was the 24-85 2.8-4 Nikkor.

Shot at an eng of summer camp event for Family & Children Association with the 30D and the 16-35 2.8 L. great lens.
