Digital Photos

Young girls discuss strategy before a performance of Andean traditional dancing. An occasional digital photo merits a post. This image was shot from the 10.2 megapixel still shot function of a Sony HDR-SR12 equipped with a Carl Zeiss 1.8/4.9-58.8 Vario Sonnar lens.

Monte Verde Cloud Forest Reserve protects a spectacular tropical environment. This 2006 photo came from a Nikon E8700 "Coolpix" 8 megapixel consumer digital camera. Although I post primarily analogue film photos I reserve the right to post an occasional digital image much in the same way that I occasionally eat unhealthy food . . .

And now, for something completely different . . . A negotiation for a pair of Cuy Cuy (Andean guinea pigs) in the Otavalo Saturday market. This candid shot was taken with a small consumer point and shoot Sony DSC-W55 pocket travel camera owned by my son, Nash.

Something different. Obviously an amateur film clip, yet a tantalizing view of the exquisite cloud forest of Monte Verde, Costa Rica. Please note: Videos on Ipernity take a while to render and may also be slow depending on your internet speed. This short video clip from April, 2006 was shot from my Sony DCR-TRV27 camcorder and edited and rendered with iMovie/iDVD on my Mac Pro desktop computer as a memory of a family excursion.

Although the majority of my images are from analogue/film cameras, an occasional photo from a digital camera is merited. Especially when one is on top of the Andes admiring the view from the rim of a crater lake 4,000 meters above sea level.

There are a large number of Andean raptor species housed at the Dutch-funded Parque Condor, a raptor rescue and rehabilitation center. It is located on a hillside overlook with views of Otavalo, Imbabura and surrounding volcanic peaks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up8xaLQrcQ8 Falcon - Richard and Mimi Farina This photo was taken by the10.2 megapixel still shot function of a Sony HDR-SR12 equipped with a Carl Zeiss 1.8/4.9-58.8 Vario Sonnar lens and a Tiffen 37mm UV filter.

Does a fence need to be man-made in order to qualify for an HFF photo? Nature seems to have created a magnificent trailside fence here in this equatorial cloud forest reserve. This photo was taken by a Nikon E8700 "Coolpix" 8 megapixel consumer digital camera.

Auditions were held on this day for the upcoming movie, 101 Dalmation Ponies. It looks like we have found the lead character!
