A Brooklyn Bridge

I took this photograph yesterday, just before the rain started.

I’m putting it up here despite some misgivings (ranging from my choice of aperture to my choice of subject). I had only my 50mm lens with me, and a wider lens, like a 35mm, might have served better.

It’s always easy to second-guess oneself. I am going to work on it a little more and see if I can make a decent print.

Sony A7iii. FE 50mm 2.5 G. 1/125 f3.5 ISO 100.

BB’s second snowman, just slightly taller than him! I think we’ve come a long way since last year. Next year, we’re going to work on our emotional reaction to the realization that other kids might take the carrot and the snowman will melt eventually. ❤️

10-5-24: Prospect Park Tunnel

I love these tunnels but they're incredibly difficult to get exposure right in

The postcard shows a historical structure named "New Shelter" located in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York. The building has classical architectural features such as tall columns and an arched entrance hall reminiscent of neoclassical design elements. It's depicted on what appears to be aged paper with the word 'Handcolored' indicating that it may have been colorized after its original creation date in 1908, which is noted at the bottom left corner along with copyright information from "the Rerograph Company." Two individuals are visible near the entrance of the shelter. The surrounding area includes trees and a pathway suggesting an urban park setting during daylight hours.

The image depicts a vintage postcard with an illustration of Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York during what appears to be late winter or early spring. The scene is tranquil and showcases a still body of water reflecting the bare trees surrounding it. These trees are adorned with some green foliage at their tops, indicating new growth typical of early season. In the background, there's visible infrastructure that suggests proximity to urban development. On the right side, part of what looks like a fence or railing is partially obscured by branches reaching out over the water. The colors on the postcard have muted tones with shades of green and brown dominating the scene, suggesting either an early morning or late afternoon setting due to the soft lighting conditions. A small bird is visible swimming in the lower left quadrant of the pond. Across the top right corner, there's text indicating "View in Prospect Park" followed by Brooklyn, New York on a yellow background with red outlining for emphasis and readability. In the bottom right corner, two signatures or marks are seen which may represent the artist’s signature and possibly a date stamp but they're not clearly legible due to their small size and faded coloration over time.
