The folks at the Reinbeck airdrome have restored a number of vintage ground vehicles to compliment their airshow. This 1917 Model T speedster was one of 15,000,000 model T’s build from 1909 to 1927. At the time you could have paid about $700 for this car.  The day I...

Wind & Solar Sunrise

I waited under the canopy of the fast moving storm cell with my eyes glazing upwards towards the mountain top shrouded in the turbulent fog blanketing its ridgeline.  Looking eastward, I knew the sun would have to rise aft the mountain – bursting up thru the misty vapors and...

Breakfast at Brodie’s

After the morning sunrise spectacle, which starts at 4:30 and ends at 6:00, the biology starts to kick in on this large pond.  If the temps are cool it takes awhile for the insects to start to moving about, then the birds start warming up, especially the swallows. These...

Pink Brodie

I recalled months ago,  looking westward at the tip of the Sierra’s in the morning twilight waiting for the eastern sun to rise up from behind the mountains to my back, which then lite up the Sierra’s peak tops with a unfamiliar pink/purple hue on a grey/brown snow. This morning,...

I was fortunate to recently assist one of my fellow Moose Alumni in his search for a tripod upgrade from his current Manfrotto190xPROB. The problem for anyone selecting their ‘last tripod’ is a journey thru the mired of internet information on tripod configurations and the fervor of discussions, opinions,...

Saw first July 4th

As I was driving thru the backroads of New York, actually the road was an early colonial highway and stagecoach thoroughfare, I came across this wonderful old farmhouse.  The odd part of the Image here is that the flag caught my eye on my drive by.  No not that...

During the last few weeks Moose has been putting up Images on the Reno Air Shows, and those images rekindled a recessed idea of mine…….  I had a thought early in the year to revisit a long forgotten but fondly remembered father & son trip that occurred some 45...

Wunderlust Eastern Sierras

It has been six months since my spring time visit to the Eastern Sierra’s and the wunderlust of the experience and environment seems to be a constant draw for the inspiration and passion in my Images.  The pallet of colors, hues, light, shapes, mountains and scents are unparalleled and...

Nikon Rumor News

Nikon D95, Coolpix P7000
Posted on Saturday July 31, 2010

Some interesting information came in today - basically more details on the already existing rumors: The Nikon D90 replacement will probably be called Nikon D95. Magnesium body. Previous reports indicated that parts of the body will be aluminium. My guess here is that the body will be magnesium-alloy, just like the D300s. 16MP sensor (expected) 1080 HD video. 6 fps (FYI: Nikon D90 does [...] Related posts:

Nikon’s EVIL camera may have DX size sensor
Posted on Friday July 30, 2010

Based on previous Nikon’s patent applications, the initial estimation of the sensor in the upcoming EVIL camera was 17mm in diagonal (image circle). For comparison the m4/3 sensor is 21.6 mm. This news was a bit disappointing, but now there is hope. Few weeks ago Thom Hogan and [NR] forum member JonnyApple suggested that the Nikon may be [...] Related posts:

Nikon talks about “The birth of the COOLPIX design”
Posted on Friday July 30, 2010

I know, you are not interested in Coolpix cameras, but this new article on Nikon’s website gives an interesting inside look of how Nikon designs a camera (ok, a Coolpix camera in this case). Some quotes: “First, our marketing department constructs a product lineup and then they create the concept for each individual model. Naturally, camera designers [...] Related posts:

Rumor: Sony to announce 4 new cameras with 14MP and 16MP APS-C sensors
Posted on Friday July 30, 2010

Today Sonyalpharumors reported that Sony will release four new cameras with 14MP and 16MP APC-S sensors and guess what? One of the expected new feature is AF during video recording. Sounds familiar? The rumored Nikon D3100 DSLR is also expected to have continuous AF during video recording. My initial report about the D3100 having a 10MP sensor is probably wrong [...] Related posts:
