After a lovely day at the arboretum, we ate dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. It is at the Harbor Mist in Cold Spring Harbor. The first photograph was made from the second floor window of the restaurant. The other photographs are panoramas of stitched together photographs.
I used my Galaxy S22 Ultra out our car window to capture this one.
The end of the afternoon’s Sierra Photo NYC photoshoot took place at the Harlem Meer in Central Park. We were rewarded with a lovely sunset. It was hard for me to choose so I posted a bunch of my sunset photographs.
I felt like showing this one from 2021 again.
We stopped briefly at Floyd Bennett Field, in Brooklyn so I could photograph the sunset.
It is a little cooler in the evenings and many people go to the Parks by the Hudson River to enjoy the sunset.
Hudson River Park at sunset. I was testing how much light and noise is created when using my my new 2x teleconverter for the Nikkor Z 70-200mm f /2.8 VR S lens on my Nikon Z7. This 2x teleconverter gives the lens a 100% boost (effectively giving me a 140-400mm f/5.6 – loosing ~2 stops of light). I think the results of these photos taken in low light after noise reduction in post are acceptable. Once a long time ago I tried a 2x teleconverter on an f/5.6 lens it lost so much light the images were too grainy to use.
On Sunday we drove down to Edwin B. Forsythe NWR in New Jersey. We stopped at the Oyster Creek Restaurant for a seafood dinner out in the wetlands on the way home. Out back there were boats camouflaged for duck hunting. In the first photograph there is a deer made of grasses in the far right. I didn’t see it until I looked closely at the photograph. I’ll be posting more in the next couple of days.
