Nikon 7000 : Fri 4 Mar 11 Although I took delivery of the Nikon 7000 body only yesterday, today I ran into town and rented a 35mm f1.8 lens so I could take a few shots. I purchased the 7000 for photographing runners in early morning light so my lens will be the 70-200 f2.8 II but it hasn't been delivered yet. The photos in this album are the result of a quick walk on Wailuku's Market Street while dodging big rain drops. Also, I just couldn't pass by the flotsam at One Main Plaza and pulled into the nearest parking space and was enjoying taking photos when the rain came down in earnest leaving me dashing back to the car. I hope you enjoy this first look at the Nikkor images I hope to create over the coming years.
PS the images are geotagged so just click "Map This" to see the exact locations.

HD Video Clips (Maui) : I am using the Canon 5D II w. a Manfrotto HDV 701 video head on a Getzo tripod. The card is a sandisk Extreme III 30 MB's/s 32 Gig and the reader is the Lexar UDMA CompactFlash & SD Reader. I am very satisfied w/ all components.

Night : Note: This is a "Virtual Gallery" of night photos I've taken over the past few years. In this digital age night photography is simple but rewarding -- giving new perspective even to scenes that would pass for mundane during the day.

Panoramas: 16mm vs stitching : I spent an entire day shooting 16mm super-wide frames on the full size sensor of the Canon 5D and overlapping frames for stitching at 30 to 35mm using the 16-35mm zoom at several of Maui's best panorama views. The comparisons are "pblogged" in the captions.

Street : "Virtual Gallery" with images drawn from all my SmugMug galleries using the keyword "street." "Street Photography" is a very well defined genre ala Cartier Bresson's "The Decisive Moment" that does not lend itself well to my style. For one thing, my travels take me to colorful places with dynamic bustling people who live much of their life in public view -- not just down-and-outers with no place else to go. Therefore, I didn't name this album "Street Photography" but simply "Street" which could mean "Urban," "Candid," "Reportage," etc. For me it also includes images I make on "photowalks" through city streets and along country lanes. The primary limitation I impose on "Photowalk" images is that my camera position must be in a place accessible to the general public, even if in a public conveyance like taxi, train, etc. -- not private property -- even when the view and perhaps the subject matter might be in private property.

"Fiscal" 2010 in Photos : My photographic "fiscal year" for 2010 ran from Oct '09 to Oct '10 -- in other words from County Fair Photo Contest to County Fair Photo Contest which sets a one year time limit on entries. Photographers in Expert, Open and Youth Divisions may submit up to two prints in Color, Monochrome (doesn't have to be black and white) and "Photo-Art" (where more or less anything goes) categories. Prizes are awarded for 1st, 2nd & 3rd in each Division and high scoring Youths can place, win or even sweep the Open Division! Prints must be between 8*10 & 16*20, mounted and titled. (Panoramic prints are allowed in sizes up to 320 square inches with a maximum length of 30 inches.) The contest is jurored by a panel of three judges chosen from art and photo professonals who make their home on Maui.

MCF '10 Photo Salon : A few weeks ago, I prepared my entries for the Maui County Fair. Then I realized I wasn't eligible this year because I would be working on the judging committee. Just for kicks I will post my choices here. I would have been in the expert division and the categories are Color, Monochrome and Photo Art. Two entries are allowed in each category for a total of six titled and mounted prints sized from 8*10 up to 16*20. Mine would have been 16*20 printed through my SmugMug account at BayPhoto. Of course, the contest entries would not be watermarked -- but then they wouldn't be presented on the internet either!

2010 Photo Maui : This year I am considering entering the 2010 Photo Maui contest -- primarily because my position on the judging committee made it inappropriate for me to enter the Maui County Fair Photo Salon. The rules for Photo Maui are similar but up to 4 submissions can be in any combination of Color, Monochrome and Digitally Enhanced. I am thinking of making all 4 entries in the monochrome category.
Help me choose! The primary suspects are posted here. Just vote thumbs up for the image you think would do best.
