Trapani

By now you know that I love this wonderful Sicilian city. It's centro storico is worth a visit.

Back to the future

If you have a spare $ 15,000.00 burning a hole in your pocket, Hasselblad has Just introduced  for you a new digital back for its V System camera bodies. This  will allow  the taking of  modern digital images to users of vintage film-era Hasselblad camera bodies. The Hasselblad CFV-50c back has a 43.8 x 32.9mm [smaller than the 6X6cm film format] CMOS sensor that  will produce images at a resolution of up to 8272 x 6200 pixels, and operates within an ISO range of 100-6400. The older backs would only go up to ISO 800. It's an interesting development for those who have  the old cameras.

Have a slpendid weekend

This old bridge controls house used to house the controls for the a draw bridge over the Newtown Creek. It is no longer in use since the bridge is now stationary.

Greenhouse wonders

There's nothing better to do on a wintry day than to go to a greenhouse and enjoy a touch of the tropics. These flowers were shot at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
