Two From Canada
When I was road-tripping up in Canada earlier this year, I shot two with my Mamiya 7II that I love. First is from Kamloops Lake, BC, the next is of the Columbia Icefield Tongue in Alberta (on the way to Banff from Jasper) [gallery link="file" columns="2" orderby="ID"]
Columbia Icefield Pano
Nikon D700 - This is 18 vertical photos stitched, maybe 150 degrees field of view. It's hard to imagine the magnitude how huge these mountains are... It was stunning - and cold. Between peaks 1 & 2 (from left) is where the Columbia Icefield Glacier pokes through into the valley.
ISO 200, 24-120mm @ 45mm, f/25 @1/250 sec.
Kamloops Lake, BC Pano
NIkon D700 16-shot stitched pano. Is0 200, 24-120mm lens @ 66mm, f/13 @1/320 sec.
False Creek, Vancouver Pano
I don't want to explain the humiliation and wetness I went through to make this photo...
Furry Creek, BC
Shot during a road trip on Pacific coast of Canada between Vancouver and Whistler. Pano stitch of 14 horizontal shots with D700 at 52mm, f/14 @ 1/30 sec handheld.
Night Photography in Red Hook, Brooklyn
Gabe organized a fun outing to Red Hook for some night photography fun and invited Mike, Angelia and I to come along.

After a really cold, snowy winter, we had a warm night. In fact, Mike and Angelia were removing layers before we set out from Gabe's place. We shot for over four hours near IKEA, where the old cranes were left in place around the campus. We were totally alone and got to rock out on the long exposures. We had a variety or digital and film gear with us. Alas, my Mamiya 7 battery flunked out on the first exposure :( Bad planning, dude. [gallery link="file" columns="2"]
I was testing out the Nikon 14-24mm, 24-70mm and 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses. Unfortunately for me, I fell in love with all of them. Interesting things to look out for - at f/16 ~ f/22 with the 70-200mm, I got 16-point stars from the aperture blades. And on the 14-24mm, I guess due to the extreme aspherical element on the front, light sources that would be off-angle to other lenses caused flare. I didn't remove them, as they are part of the photograph, and this isn't an assignment. But I'd keep a watch out for it if I were out on a job.
Dobbs Ferry Nights - Frozen Hudson Edition
After a night of shooting with Gabe, Mike & Angelia in Red Hook (more to come on that soon), I came home, tired and decided I had some battery left, so I headed down the the river instead of going home. It is warm'ish and the ice is breaking up. The tide was coming in as I left Brooklyn, so the river was flowing north, and the ice was moving pretty swiftly along the edges of the river. How fortunate, that's where I was ;) [gallery link="file" columns="2" orderby="ID"]
