The four transparencies were taken Saturday morning, G-Whiz weekend, with a Contax G2 camera and 45mm lens, using available light, aperture f4 & shutter at approximately 1/125 second. Film was Kodak E200.

Asher Schachter

All were shot with the G2, 35mm f2 lens, Ektachrome 200.


"Topsy Toddler Photographer": My favorite subject- my son MUST have his own camera when I'm snapping away. His is an old non-functional Konica C35. It's been dipped in soup and dropped on hard tile floors, but the RF still works!.	"Tennis net": FINALLY- a free court opens up at the public courts, late November in Boston...	"Into the Playhouse": No comment here, just a fun moment.	"Sailor's Delight" : Red sky at night, sailor's delight. I took this from the driver's seat while driving down Beacon Street in Boston rush hour traffic. Not an easy task with the prevalence of the kamakazi approach to driving so prevalent in Boston. Do not try this at home.

Sunday morning, I began my walk in Madrid with my dog-friend Sega. This is the underground entrance. You can see the new 007 movie poster. G1, 45mm Planar, f8, Fuji Provia 100.	Reaching the park, you can clearly feel the light and the colors of the autumn (in US you say fall, am I right?) I had the 21mm on the camera, so I got very close under this tree... and felt that special light!. G1, 21mm Biogon, f5.6, Fuji Provia 100.	I have always liked this statue very much. This is the "Fallen Angel", the unique statue in the world dedicated to "that angel expelled from heaven". G1, 90mm Sonnar, f5.6, Fuji Provia 100.	Going back home, still getting the spirit of the sunday morning. G1, 45mm Planar, f5.6, Fuji Provia 100.

Boxes The weather stayed cast during all the GWhiz week-end here in Lausanne. So saturday looked like the pefect day to try the brand new kit of strobes I've just got from Multiblitz.. It would have been better to operate with the Nikon FE and its macro zoom.. but since it was GWhiz week-end I used the Contax G; with the 90mm set at F22 and 1/200e.	A Grayish Mysty Sunday On saturday, the weather hadn't improved.. I waited untill the end of the afternoon and drove to the lakeshore hoping for an opening of the sky. (still the 90mm lens)	Man With Dog The colors were mute, grey and muddy... the lake was almost still.. but for two or three persons, the usually animated shore was pretty empty. Down, right along the water, a man was playing with his dog.	Pier With Walking Couple The weather was cold (around 6 degree C), my hands where freezing and the battery stopped working just after I spotted the young walking couple on the pier.. Mmm. the GWhiz week-end was over and in a diary I'd just note "c'était un dimanche comme un autre".

On Sunday afternoon I went over to the Smith-9th Street area in Brooklyn, by the Gowanus Canal. The bridge has been closed seems like forever, and a new bridge has been erected under the subway viaduct. This is the kind of stuff I like to shoot, so I took a stroll with a G2 and 45 and 90. The 'Eagle Clothes' sign was shot with the 90, the others with the 45. All in full idiot mode.

This photo was shot with the G2 and the 28mm lens using Velvia. This was on a tripod, probably f8 at about a half second. The location is Sedona, Az. at sunrise.	This is the 28mm lens also. On a tripod it was f11 at around 1/8th of a second. Film is Fuji Sensia.	This shot is of the bridge which spans Oak Canyon in Sedona, Az. It was handheld using the 28mm lens and Fuji Sensia film. f11 at 1/250 is probably what I shot this at.	Warning! Not a Contax G Photo! Here is a photo shot with the Voigtlander / Heliar 15mm lens combo. The Heliar 15mm gave my Zeiss glass a very good run for its money. This also is in Sedona, Az., at sunrise. Sensia, f11 at 1/30th.

First Snow G2, 45, TMY EI 800. My 5 year old niece was visiting from Hawaii and had never seen snow, so we ran all the kids up to Snoqualmie Pass for some cold fun. I metered a rock wall and locked exposure. My daughter is the one without the tan.	Mother-In-Law G2, 90, TMY EI800, f2.8, 1/40. You think her teeth are bad, you should smell her breath!

G-Whiz Sunday I took the camera and started walking towards downtown Copenhagen hoping that something of interest would turn up. Maybe it did and maybe it did not. I ended up windowsshopping in low light. All pictures have been shot with handheld camera. I got the chance to try Fuji Reala against Fuji Superia 400. And I can hardly see the difference.

Wood Study

Camera: G2
Lens: 45mm
Filters: None
Film: Astia 100 at 100 ISO
Tripod: Bogen 3401B with RRS Quick release
Location: White Sands National Monument, New Mexico, USA
Exposure: Auto- F11 at 1/180 (+1 compensation)
Focus: I focus locked on the vertical trunk and recomposed.

I got out early on Sunday morning to capture some images from one of my favorite haunts (white Sands) and shot 1 roll of Astia 100. I have found that Astia does marginally better than K25 or Velvia at recording the subtle shades and patterns that I frequently find at the "Sands". I normally open up my lens a full stop to accommodate the bright light sand background. However, with this roll I have found that even opening the lens a full stop is not quite enough , and will try 1 2/3 the next time I shoot Astia here. The exposure level seems very good in this image, but I think this was true because there is more wood in the image than sand. I noticed my speed drop down from 1/250 of the previous photo.

I also normally shoot F8, but I am trying for a little more depth of field since I don't anticipate blowing these images up to very large sizes.

Shooting the Sands is a photographers delight. You can just walk around looking for likely subjects and plunk the tripod down for a solid set in the sand. The light can vary greatly, but early morn and evening are, of course, ideal. Occasionally we get high overcast which makes all day shooting very possible.

Old Woman

Camera: G2
Lens: 28mm
Filters: None
Film: Astia 100 at 100
Tripod: Bogen 3401B with RRS Quck Release
Location: White Sands National Monument, New Mexico, USA
Exposure: F8 at 1/350 (+1 Compensation)
Focus: No special focus

This outcropping caught my eye and I really enjoyed the texture and roughness of it against the soft blue sky. I decided to mount the 28mm to get in close to all the detail in the craggy sand. I did not think of it as an "old woman" until I saw the slide.

Punta Pier

taken at Punta Gorda, FL along the waterline promenade using my new 21mm CZ on my G2 w B&W Polarizer

Black Sheep

Yacht was moored at Punta Gorda mariner, also 21mm with polarizer.

Cypress

Picture's "Cypress" and "Cypress Message" were taken on a canoe trip on the Peace River, FL using the 45mm w UV filter, as I was afraid to take the risk of taking along my 90 and my 21 do to a possible canoe upset. Fortunately the trip was uneventful.

Cypress Message

I was not happy with the Portra's lack of range with the high contrast shots taken on the Peace River.

The second roll may be better as those shots were mostly taken in shade, or at least out of direct high noon sun.
