Yes, I’m still trying to pull a Buena Vista Panorama image – a super-ultra-wide panorama with 120 film and my Rolleflex Automat MX camera – for Competition Season 2024. And so far, I’ve had some okay shots and some less than successful shots. So let’s try something else. Road trip to my alma mater. Hamilton…

Can I get a Buena Vista Panorama shot on Central Avenue?
So it’s late September, and I still have a few rolls of AGFA Scala black and white slide film in the freezer. The only company in the world that can still develop this slide film, DR5 in Iowa, announced there would be a development run in November. So if I want to use this film…
Read MoreCan I get a Buena Vista Panorama shot from Glass Lake in Averill Park?
Yep, still trying to get that perfect super-ultra-panorama shot. And not having the success I want. Last October, I went to Glass Lake in Averill Park, hoping to capture the fall foliage off of this crystal-clear lake. Again … hoping to. But there’s one thing about Glass Lake. Almost the entire perimeter of the lake…
Read MoreCan I get a Buena Vista Panorama in Woodstock, Vermont?
Last month, I traveled to Vermont to photograph the Middle Covered Bridge in Woodstock. The Middle Covered Bridge is right in the heart of Woodstock’s downtown historic district, and my plan is to capture the bridge, along with a quaint New England-style clapboard house in a super-long panorama. As you can imagine, I’m having fun…
Read MoreAlbany Center Gallery gets my first public showing of One Eclipse Over Texas
Every year, the Albany Center Gallery has a “Member’s Show” where artists can feature one artwork apiece. Today is drop-off day at the Gallery, and until last month, I had considered entering my disappearing Christmas tree photo Ran Out of Firewood, or maybe my prism-altered Atomic Tulips. That changed when, three weeks ago, I caught…

Last year, I offered several of my award-winning photos and art projects in a special $100/piece online pop-up store. All you had to do was pick the print you wanted, click on it, pay for it with PayPal, and wait by your mailbox. Simple as that. Well, since last year’s efforts were so successful ……
Read More$20 on his infrared nose
Last Saturday I tested my modified Nikon Df by photographing a park gazebo. And everything worked out well. Now comes the next test. Can I use this to shoot infrared images in an area I previously couldn’t – action sports shots? Let’s see. Saratoga Harness has the trotters running … I checked the lineup, and…
Read MoreMy first test of my full-spectrum modified Nikon Df camera
I’ve owned this Nikon Df for over ten years now. It’s had its share of love and travel. Heck, it even had its shutter replaced a few years ago, and it still fires like a champion. But ten years is a long time for a camera, and after purchasing a second Nikon Df in 2022…
Read MoreMy Nikon Df needs surgery.
I purchased my first Nikon Df camera in 2013. It’s provided me with a decade of fantastic photographs. Everything from sweeping star trails to breathtaking Milky Way shots, from sports action images to reflective contemplation captures. This little shooter has garnered more awards than any of my other cameras, including “triple blue” images like Washington…

The “Ring of Fire” Annular Eclipse 2023
It’s Saturday morning, and I’m in San Antonio. All I need right now is to get to Pleasanton, Texas – about a 45-minute drive from my hotel. Recap. I’m on total adrenaline mode right now. It’s just me, my Nikon Df cameras, my Maksutov-Cassegrain MC MTO-11CA 1000mm F/10 mirror lens (for the big shots), my…
