veranoFinale

Ah, the final days of summer. They go so quickly don’t they? Can anyone tell me where exactly this is? All I know is it’s somewhere southwest of McCarren Park (previous post) in Greenpoint. I’m usually good at keeping track of such things.

For those who are looking for EXIF/technical info, I’m going to put it in the comments section for now until I can figure out something more aesthetically pleasing.

Finally, it might be worth noting that there’s a mini feature of one of my photos in the Sep. issue of Popular Photography Mag (on sale now). I didn’t dig the print quality, but I guess it’s pretty cool getting some national coverage for the site. If it reads funny, it’s cause’ those words were paraphrased from a phone interview. I don’t actually speak like that ;)

UPDATE: Thanks to Will and the Brooklyn Record for helping me find the location.

1. Ok folks - here’s the nitty gritty. This shot is an HDR - there I’ve said it. It’s comprised of 3 exposures:

   1/100 at f7.1
   1/160 at f8
   1/80 at f5.6

   All shot at 19mm.

   Anyone want to take a guess at the ISO?

2. First off, nice shot. Great composure with the lamp in the right place to enhance and not distract.

   But I have to ask, how come you are varying the aperture in the shots? Obviously it’s not going to happen with a 19, but you run the risk of having different DoFs between the shots.

   Just to start it out, I’m going to guess 500.

4. Josh, the reason the aperture changed is because I auto bracketed the exposures in Program mode, so the camera adjusts the shutter/aperture as it sees fit. You’re right, it won’t make much difference on a 19mm, but there are some shots where I do get some blurring and it the effect is pretty cool. As for the ISO - you were pretty close - 400. Thanks for playing. ;)

5. I love the corner in this corner shot! The sky is perfect, and of course, between the three shots, exposure is great all around.

8. I love the shot, but I think the angle is making me a little dizzy. I guess one would argue that the emergency callbox is anchoring the shot.

9. I love this shot. And bravo for the article!
   As I mentioned before I have zero knowledge about photography and am starting to want to learn more about it. And each time a learn a tiny little bit more, I find it even more fascinating. I love that you are adding those explanation: naively, i had absolutely no idea you would merge 3 different shots to get one. Wow.

10. Jimmie, that’s the southeast corner of North 11th and Roebling. I ran out there this evening (I live nearby) thinking I’d send you a shot of the call box next to the street sign, but it turns out there are no identifying signs on any coner at that intersection, so you’re justified in not having noted where you were when you took the picture.

11. This is a wonderful sky. I like the composition and the strange angle.
