The lure of the sea
I am fascinated by the sea. I was born where I could hear the stormy sea at night and wherever I looked, I saw the sea. This is why I love New York, it's surrounded by the sea. These are very early digital images dating from the fall of 2001 and are shot with the Fuji S1-Pro whose puny 3.3 mega pixels could capture magical images. Alas, the body was really bad and the focusing hard so it was not really suited for heavy professional work. But it was a really great camera whose color rendition reminds one of Kodachrome II.
The photos were shot on Long Island's North Fork

it looks like a serious camera
New from Panasonic
Panasonic's has a new Lumix DMC-GH4, the most impressive of the G-series camera with high end features crammed into a somewhat compact frame. For still photos, there's a new 16.05-megapixel Live MOS image sensor, working in tandem with their new quad-core Venus. Engine processing unit. For videos, this same combination makes the GH4 the world's first "DSLM" (Digital Single Lens Mirrorless) camera able to record 4K video [together with several full HD video settings] up to 96fps! This makes the GH4 very appealing to both photographers and videographers. Yet the bottom appears to be somewhat too large, strictly from an aesthetic point of view. No price has been announced so far.Thursday, February 6, 2014
Back to the Seaport
I am in the process of repairing the database where the data on the digital media disks is located. Crashes, different operating systems and other problems of the digital age have created havoc. Nevertheless, no images were lost as I keep everything on digital media and backed up. The problem was finding the location of where they are stored. But the upside is that I have found many items that I feel are worthy of posting.
These shots are from October 2006. I was early at a shoot so I took advantage of the early evening light.

Long Island's Wine Country
The north fork of Long Island has become an absolutely world class wine region. It produces some excellent wine and so close to home. When first saw the grapes I was very moved. To know that I live in an island that grows grapes and produces wine, priceless. We go there several times a year to stock up and we have a great time. As can be seen, the area is very well suited for outings and in the summer and fall it's a great place to go to have a wonderful day and taste the wines, buy some and have a ice lunch. What can be better.
All images were shot with a Nikon D-70 with a mere 6 mega pixels. Go figure.

There was something right about the skin tones of the D 1-X. Only the Fuji S2-Pro did better. The Nikkor 35-135 F 3.5-4.5 was used.
