Thanks, but no multiple invites. We went for a boat ride last night hunting for great blue herons. Instead we found a black crowned night heron and this egret flying high overhead. A great blue flew out as we were approaching home with the light behind him, I think just trying to tease me.
WHAT A WEEK I JUST HAD!! IMAGE 2\
From the "I taught my first time out Backyard Fine Art Class via Zoom" collection. A four camera Zoom shoot done as a one man band. Up at 5am every morning. Nine different setups, Focus shift capture (which this is) using the 105mm.f2.8 S Micor Nikkor. If Forrest Gump owned this lens he say "IF Jenny was a lens she' be this lens". Holy tack sharp glass batman!
But what a blast I had!! What a bunch to troopers the class was talk about commitment!
I can't wait to teach this class again (the up at BMNT I could do without) but watching the students get it was something I live for.

S series lens as well as the 105mm macro and then with a Novoflex Mini II bellows for the Nikon Z camera and then using heliopan Clusuplenses with the 70-200mm 2.8 S series lens.

This image is from the second day of my Fall Color workshop at Maine Media Workshops. I shot this with the Nikon D750. 2000 iso. Why 2000 iso? Besides I can.... Had to stop the motion of the wind. 2000 is the new 100 iso. All I have to say is WOW....

This was shot on the last day of a workshop I attended through Main Media Workshops + College. Our group were out at Marshall Point Lighthouse in Point Clyde, Maine. It was late afternoon, approaching evening, and I had been doing long-exposure shots using some neutral-density filters, and was getting ready to pack things up when I noticed our instructor had started heading out along the walkway toward the lighthouse. I quickly set my tripod at the end of the walkway, slipped a filter over the lens, and shot a 10-second exposure. The water is softened, and the instructor appears as though a ghost haunting the lighthouse.
This was 5 images, shot with a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM on an EOS 7D Mark II, focus stacked using Zerene Stacker.

**********************************
In August 2015, I had the great pleasure of taking a week-long photography workshop in Rockport, Maine under the tutelage of Peter Turnley. Its main theme was street photography, and we made several visits to working-class neighborhoods in several Maine towns where (unbeknownst to me) there are large populations of working-class immigrants from Somalia, Sierra Leone, and various other countries around the world.
In addition to the Sony RX-10 and Sony A-7 cameras that I normally use, I also rented a brand-new Leica “Q” camera for the class. It’s roughly equivalent to driving a Rolls Royce, which I’ve never done; and because the list price is $4,000 for a camera with a single fixed-focal-length 28mm lens, I very much doubted that I would buy one for permanent usage.
Peter Turnley strongly suggested that I should consider buying the camera and getting really comfortable using it. Maybe he’s right; but there are all kinds of reasons (which I won’t bore you with) why it doesn’t make sense for me.
Perhaps the most important reason is that, at my fairly modest level of skill, I don’t think I would actually produce *better* pictures with the Leica. There are a lot more “fundamental” things for me to master first, and I might *never* be good enough to really take advantage of what the Leica is capable of doing.
So, when I got back to NYC at the end of the week, I packed the Leica in a box, and shipped it back to the rental agency from whence it came. It was a good experiment, and I’m glad I did it. But at least for now, I’ll stick with my Sony cameras.
I've uploaded roughly half a dozen "test shots" that I took with the Leica. I was intrigued to see that some of them were "fuzzy," which implies that I didn't focus properly, or perhaps I used such a wide aperture that the DOF was too shallow.
None of them are prize-winning shots by any means ... but for me, the most important conclusion was that I probably could have gotten just as good (or just as bad) a result from my Sony cameras...
Seen from Owl's Head Light House in Maine -- what a gorgeous part of the world that is! And we actually did go sailing that night out of Camden.
While taking a Botanical Photography class at the Maine Media Workshop, Joyce Tennyson (who was teaching a class there) invited the members of our class to participate in an outdoor studio shoot with her. What an opportunity! What a gracious person.

This image is from the fourth day of my Fall Color workshop at Maine Media Workshops. This is Hull's Cove on the way in to Acadia National Park. I shot this with the Nikon D750. 400 iso.
