I have been posting to this blog for over 13 years, each year reporting on accomplishments over the prior year and goals for the new year.

2024 is a little different. I’ve decided that this Blog will be my main photography communication vehicle. Content will be varied and in the spirit of my approach to photography as described on the "About" page of my website at www.jeffmarcowitz.photography 

Unlike the past, all content posted here in the blog will NOT also be on the website Project W pages. I intend to make the Project W pages more of a curated collection of work representing the “Best Of” images posted here on the Blog. With a subscription, you'll continue to receive an email (with content) whenever I post to the Project W Blog.

Thanks to all of you who have followed this photo blog for many years and welcome to any newcomers. My hope is that the images and stories are interesting and thought-provoking as I continue this creative journey. As always, comments, critiques and suggestions (here and the website) are welcome and appreciated as they often lead to new ideas and inspiration.

Thank You.
Jeff

Gear Test

Gear Test
52Frames - Week 16 - Edited By Someone Else
Extra Credit: Shoot in RAW

Went to a physical store to check out a full frame camera and some lenses I've been considering.  I love the form factor of my Sony a6600 and wanted to hold and shoot with the a7C which is slightly thicker. Also checked out some full frame Tamron lenses on both the a6600 and a7C.

While I could not save any of the shots from the a7C (no SD card), I was able to save those made with the a6600.  I sent 4 of them off to a 52Frames & C.London 52 Weeks photographer friend, Phil Olson, for selection and editing.

Phil describes his editing as follows: "On the camera shot, I did a 16 x 9 crop and really just brightened up the background to make the camera pop.  Gave it a touch of color grading and tone curve."  Since, Phil shoots Sony also and has the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 lens I'm considering, I picked this image as the most appropriate for this week's challenge.  Great job...thanks Phil!
