As one walks through the old city one finds all sort of interesting  arched walkways. These were all shot in April, 2007 with the Nikon D-200 and the 18-70 3.5-4.5 kit lens.

comes Sharp with a display that can only blow one's mind. Incredible. Sharp flies ahead in the screen resolution race with 8K TV prototype

These photos were shot in February of 2007 with a Canon A-620 point and shoot camera. You do not need fancy expensive cameras to tale decent photos.

Remembering a sunny July Saturday afternoon in 2009 with the Nikon D-700 at the superb Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Summer should be here soon.

For all of the  good qualities of film and for all it's many maddening limitations, I embraced digital early because it allowed me to do things that were very difficult or actually impossible with film. These two early digital shots show how changing the light balance on the camera  can yield didderent results. The camera was the Fuji S1-Pro and the lens was the 80-300 ED Nikkor.

  4K resolution is 4X the resolution of a full HD screen and with an i5 processor, this becomes a very useful tool for photographers. It's incredible how fast things  are changing. Panasonic new super HD tablet Unlike last year's Consumer Electronics Show that brought a large number of new tablets to light, 2013 is a much quieter year on the tablet front this week at ECS in Las Vegas.  Panasonic is showing a prototype of a 20-inch 4k (3840x2560, 230ppi) tablet that from an imaging point of view appears to be one of the most interesting products at this show. The device is aimed at creative professionals such as architects, designers and photographers. It runs Windows 8, is powered by an Intel i5 processor and comes with 4GB RAM  which can be expanded to 16GB. Despite the large screen size, the battery life is listed as approximately 2 hours. Panasonic claims the ...

These photos go back to June of 2002, when my super accomplished photographer daughter, Jennifer, had her first real show in Manhattan. The camera, the Olympus E-10 was my first "serious" digicam and one I used professionally while I was moving to total digital photography. By this time I was using the Fuji S-2 pro on jobs and using the E-19 just to "fool around." The image quality was great but the camera was not really useful on jobs.

The Sigma DP3 Merrill  This is truly amazing news because one can no longer say that small cameras are just that, small in performance. With this announcement, Sigma, well known for their  high quality aftermarket lenses  and unique cameras, are bringing out a new 46-megapixel fixed lens camera named the Sigma DP3 Merrill.. [This alone makes it an unusual product] It uses a large Foveon X3 image sensor, which measures 23.5x15.7mm, and is matched to a fast 50mm f/2.8 lens. The resulting huge 45MB image files are handled by the Dual TRUE II image processing engine, and  photo framing is done via  a high resolution 3.0-inch LCD. Will there be an optical attached viewfinder? We hope so. One can always find one that matches or approximates the angle of view of the fixed lens. BTW, the name Merrill refers to the inventor of the unique Faveon sensor. Although the camera's features are quite impressive, its movie mode is totally passe' having a maximum...

This photo was shot long ago on Ansco Super Hypan 500 and developed on Ansco Hyfonol. I  can still remember the time, the place and the development data! The camera was the Yashicamat 125. my first medium format camera that  made me fall in love with this format.
