Who takes a year off from a brand new blog? Well, this guy, clearly.

I’m going to get a head start on January’s resolutions and start blogging again. In the past year, too much has taken place to get into. But, here’s some of the important parts. New job, and new gear. The new job will take me to new places, the new gear will -hopefully- help me do a better job capturing what I see.

In the meantime, here are a few photos from a recent trek through Brooklyn. All photos taken with the somewhat recently acquired Canon 5D MkIII. I’m in real love with the 5D and all of its full frame goodness. As someone who exposes for the brightest highlights and recovers shadows later, I’m loving the reduction in noise when I boost shadows…and wishing I’d made this move much sooner. And yes, I’m aware that other cameras do a much better job with noise reduction, and offer a much higher dynamic range.

The long exposures are 30-second brackets; technically 90 seconds of exposure time went into each of those images. However, each one is a 30-second increment. The 5D outputs them as jpgs, which still have “enough” flexibility in Camera Raw. The other photos are standard manual exposures. The successes of those shots are more about capturing them in the middle of busy, busy, busy NYC / 5 boroughs locations, and making them look “empty” afterwords. Thank you, Photoshop.

All images shot raw on Canon 5D MkIII, with 16-35L. Bracketed shots were individual raw images, outputted as jpgs. Processing/editing completed in Photoshop.
