Some time ago, I postulated the option of either getting a second Nikon Df camera, or ditching my current Df and going for a pair of Nikon Zfc mirrorless cameras. The idea behind this postulation was to go full-bore into three-dimensional stereoscopic photography, whether it involved creating custom View-Master reels, or standalone Holmes Stereo cards…

A Solarcan Sunset on Swan Street.
Background. A few years ago, I sponsored a Kickstarter campaign in which a UK photography enthusiast created a passive camera setup – beer cans filled with photo-sensitive paper. The idea was to place these passive cameras – “Solarcans” – outdoors to capture the sun’s rays. Of the five Solarcans I received, three of them produced…

The Adirondack leaves are changing from green to yellow to red. And if I find the right location … I can get something good out of this. Yes, I’m back in Corinth. And yes, I’m back to photographing the Saratoga, Corinth & Hudson Railway’s ALCO-5 as it winds along the old train path from Corinth…
Read MoreAssembling a greatest hits photo package.
In my effort to hopefully place one of my photographic pieces in a New York City art gallery (what a goal that would be), I came across a “Call For Art” page that uses a feeder website called CallForEntry.com (or CaFE). With CaFE, apparently I can upload whatever art I want to submit to various…

This year, as I visited the New York State Fair in Syracuse and the Big E in Springfield, I took along my pink-leathered Nikon F2S camera (“Nikon Athena”) and took some sample shots. I wanted to test out Athena’s built-in light meter, and hoped that the film I loaded in the camera would work in…

Charity Season 2022 is now in effect. For me, “Charity Season” means that my artworks are now entered in galas and art shows that, if my artworks sell, a portion of the proceeds goes to a specific charity. And one of my personal charities is Historic Albany Foundation. They do a tremendous job for building…

The Big E-Durham Fair Double Dip, 2022 edition
These two fair photography competitions end my “Competition Season” for 2022. My eclipse photo As Seen From Screven County has already claimed three silks (including two first-place blues at Iowa and the New York State Fair), while my infrared shot We Serve Wayward Strangers has earned two second-place banners. Three other images were prepared for…
Read MoreThe new quandry – +1 Df, or +2 Zfc‘s?
A few years ago, I dabbled in three-dimensional photography, and I experimented with a few different options. I used vintage cameras that had multi-lens outputs, like the Trio 3D and the NIMSLO. I used two Nikon EM’s and shot them simultaneously. But I wasn’t very satisfied with the results. And I think I have a…
Read MoreThe International Photography Exhibit’s press release (with four Chuck Miller photos in it)
If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m completely over the moon that four of my photos – Washington County 2:30 a.m., Five Tickets to Ride Day and Night, The Three-Two Pitch and We Serve Wayward Strangers – have been accepted as part of the New Jersey Photography Forum’s International Photography Exhibit, to be held this…

The Durham Fair photo competition is my final in the five-spoke “Competition Season” run. And I’ve definitely had some success this year, but Durham has always held a good spot for me. I’m usually limited to three entries per year at Durham; however, this season, Durham will offer a fourth entry in a themed category.…
