New York Photography Blog - Volume I

That’s the way it’s been all day. As noted previously, my favorite weather for shooting; this or snow. Now that spring is almost here, I’ll be in trouble like I was last year - though last year I ended up doing a lot of infrared during the spring and summer and that helped me.

As you can see, I’ve stopped tagging this stuff with 40D / Sigma 30 etc. If I do something new and different I’ll tag it.

I did come up with a nice rain contraption today. I screwed the camera onto a monopod, taped an umbrella to the monopod at a good height for the 30mm, and had a very comfortable rig for shooting in even the worst rain (which is what we had today). Nice and sturdy and I could keep both hands on the camera, i.e. I didn’t need to have a hand to hold the umbrella. Something I should have thought of before.
