It's when you press the shutter that makes all the difference. Thanks to the fact that this is s very difficult shot to get with a smart phone, I was able to get my shot. This young man was clowning around while his friend was trying - with marginal results - to capture him. Needless to say, he had to make many attempts. I took advantage of this situation and thanks to the PanasonicG1-X fast shutter with practically no lag time, I took my shot on my second try leaving the jumper jumping for several more times. Note that the GX-1 is a very small camera but it's still a camera able to do what cameras are supposed to do: make you take the shot when it's the decisive moment.
Greetings, this blog is dedicated to my life in photography. I want to make this a place to stop and relax. In the hope that this will help in these trying times

Sunday afternoon at the Jardin du Luxenbourg
Among the many splendid parks in Paris, the Jardin du Luxembourg adjacent to the Senat or Senate is one of the grandest. Sunday afternoon it's full of joggers and people relaxing. It is a wonderful urban space and more photos will follow.
All photos shot with the Canon G-11, a so called "point and shoot" camera.

It will look like this soon
With the opening of the NFL season - football is the only sport I watch and the only time I turn on TV - I could not help post these autumnal shots on Central Park on a sunny Sunday Afternoon in 2006. I was shooting with the Nikon D-200 accompanied by my lovely photographer daughter, Jennifer who was shooting with a Canon DSLR whose model escapes me. Soon it will look like this. Fall is the loveliest time in New York.
