Canon has released a firmware update for its popular Canon PowerShot S100 compact camera. As a Canon DSLR user I’m not unfamiliar with updating firmware and I went to their site (which has been and remains awful), chose my operating system from their pull down menu (Mac OS X v. 10.7) and downloaded both a [...]

Schaghticoke Ridge, Appalachian Trail, Kent, Connecticut. This is one of our favorite hikes in the area, from Bull’s Bridge to Kent on the AT. Near the New York/Connecticut border we crossed a little stream that had some nice ice on it. Had to stop and see if I could capture some patterns.

West Cornwall, Connecticut. We returned to the Pine Swamp Beaver Pond and there’s a lot of new beaver activity there. This tree/sky reflection was shot in the outflow from the third dam downstream of the main beaver pond. There are at least five dams downstream of the lodge and probably as many as five upstream. [...]

Race Brook Falls Trail, Massachusetts. This was taken at a place where the brook drops about six inches on the right of this frame. The turbulence and vortexes caused by the drop on the right affected the water both on the drop and to the left of it thus affecting the reflection of the trees [...]

Schaghticoke Ridge, Appalachian Trail, Kent, Connecticut. This foam whirlpool was on a stream crossing the Appalachian trail on the Schaghticoke Ridge section between Bull’s Bridge and Rt. 341. This is the largest stream on the hike which can be difficult to cross in high water.

Kaaterskill High Peak from Dibble’s Quarry Along the Pecoy Notch Trail on the way to Pecoy Notch just east of Sugarloaf Mountain in the Catskills. Kaaterskill High Peak is on the skyline. Dibble’s Quarry was mined for sidewalk slate used in New York City but over the years that it’s been part of a state [...]

Now that I’m sensitized to ice crystals I’m looking for them everywhere. This day there was quite a bit of melt and the ice had more rounded edges.

Mt. Race, Massachusetts. All of these shots were taken in a single puddle to the side of the Race Brook Falls trail near the intersection with the Appalachian trail. This was taken in a small pool in Race Brook on the blue Race Brook Falls trail.

Mt. Race, Massachusetts. All of these shots were taken in a single puddle on the Appalachian Trail on the north ridge of Mt. Race. I don’t know enough about ice crystals to understand why some puddles produce crystals and others don’t but when I find a patch of great crystals like this it’s like finding [...]

Warren, Connecticut. Great dinner with friends. The room was pretty dark and just a few candles were lighting the table and the light on Anne’s plate was inviting me to try out the S100 in low light.

Huntington Library Gardens, Pasadena, California. Went on an outing with my mother today. Decided to use S100 to shoot trees from below since this place has an amazing variety of spectacular and rare trees. I’m quite pleased with the way this small camera worked; I got a nice variety of decent images.

Race Brook, Southwestern Massachusetts. More ice formations from our hike up Race Brook Falls and Mt. Race. This one’s got a lot of small detail which I’m delighted the point and shoot camera picked up.

Race Brook Falls, Massachusetts. On the way down from Mt. Race Loren and I noticed a great reflection in the new ice on Race Brook. To the left in this frame the brook makes a small drop over some rocks making ripples that are freezing in this pool. I’m beginning to see how these wonderful [...]

New York City. Standing in Bryant Park behind the 5th Avenue branch of the New York Public Library shooting south east through the sycamores at the wall of buildings on the other side of the street. Standing in Bryant Park shooting up at the canopy of sycamore tree branches.

Walking around New York the other day the reflection possibilities were too good to pass up. These were taken with the new Canon Powershot S100 which I’m quite impressed with. The 24mm angle of view is great as are many of the small ergonomic and image rendering improvements in the camera.

Can the iPhone 4S replace a “real” digital camera? Great in-depth investigation. As one with an iPhone 4S, a Canon PowerShot S100 and a Canon 5D and some nice lenses, I can attest that the iPhone 4S does not replace the other cameras fully but it does eat into the point and shoot space. and [...]

Southwest Massachusetts. Just as we started to hike up Race Brook Falls to Mt. Race we saw a porcupine at the edge of a field. This was a beautiful little animal, no danger to Dave (they don’t shoot quills, you have to touch them) so he got close and got some nice shots. Many people [...]
