Sands Point

SandsPoint

Fujifilm X-T1 and Fujinon XF 18-55mm R OIS Lens – 1/280 @ f/7.1 – ISO 200

This is part of the backyard and mansion at Sands Point Preserve (the whole back yard is way to big to show it covers acres and goes all the way down the cliffs to The Long Island Sound).  There is also a Castle on the grounds.  This was once the home of Henry Clay Frick, better known as the chairman of J.P. Morgans newly formed company, US Steel.  He moved from Pittsburg Pennsylvania to New York and needed a home so he bought this one.  There are countless mansions on the “Gold Coast” of Long Island.  This is now part of the Sands Point Nature Preserve.

Coming And Going

Fujifilm X-E2 and Fujinon XF 55-200 R OIS Lens – 1/280 @ f/4.2 – ISO 200 – Manual focus mode

It was a blah type of rainy day but I thought I would still go out and have some fun with the camera.  As they say “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade”.  I hope you enjoy.

Fujifilm X-E2 and Fujinon XF 55-200 R OIS Lens – 1/280 @ f/4.2 – 122mm – ISO 200 – Manual focus mode

A lot of people hate rain but I enjoy it.  Everything is so exaggerated like the street reflection of the headlights on these cars. I had to put the camera in manual focus mode to defocus and shoot.  I hope you enjoy.

Morning Dew

Nikon D610 and Tamron 90mm Di SP f/2.8 Macro Lens – 1/500 @ f/4.3

Although I am a firm believer in using the same brand lenses as the manufacturer of your camera this Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro lens certainly proves me wrong. It is an extraordinary performing lens. These are some images I took of early morning dew on some Hosta leaves.
