well, as many of you know, i spent the day shooting in nyc with my good friend and fellow stfer, harry behret. we had a ball as is our usual.
i got in early this morning (couldn't sleep for some reason!) and so i took a walk into brooklyn and then back over the brooklyn bridge. i shared this shot earlier, but that was a quickie edit while at starbucks waiting on harry
and here's another on the brooklyn bridge:
finally caught up with harry at starbucks, and after a triple tall no foam latte, we wandered up towards chinatown in the pouring rain:
we then went underground, for a quick subway ride up to times square, we heard there was some excitement going on up there
here's harry shooting my picture of the day on the kodak jumbotron:
whew... harry said he was tired and hungry, so we went to virgil's bbq for a small bite of health food. (i hope nc notices!). virgil's is outstanding -- i had ribs & chicken, harry had pulled pork. all of it, outta this world, good.
harry's like a sherpa - he hauls about twenty nikon lenses, every accessory known to man, his nikon d100, a flash, and his sony f717
he is prepared for anything, let me tell you!
after lunch, we shot one more of the kodak thing. by the way: on the 828, the shutter lag is so much less than on the 717. i tried to get this shot with my 717 for another stfer a few months ago, and couldn't. you only have about 1 second to get the photographer's name and the photo on the big screen together. i tried with my 717 5 times and couldn't do it. today, with the 828, i got the shot on my very first try:
then, we headed over to rockefeller center.. just for kicks.
st. patrick's cathedral is just across the way, why not step in out of the rain and get some divine guidance?
i just love shooting in cathedrals
here's st. jude:
all in all, a great day and i thank harry for doing the town wtih me again!
i have to say, about the sony f828: it is an incredible performer! it's great to schlep around all day with it on my tripod, it rests on my shoulder so nicely. it got wet, all day.. even though i had a bag covering it... and the camera is no worse for it... i took plenty of shots in varying situations again today, and the image quality is outstanding. colors true, the white balance is very accurate. oh and the prints - i made several big prints tonight already, the quality is just great. i'll say it again, in case anyone hasn't heard, this is a fantastic camera. an improvement, featurewise and quality over my 717.
