David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Views of science and technology from around the world
Replica of the South Foreland Lighthouse. St. Margaret’s Bay, Dover England. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera and 6.7-13 mm VR lens (ISO 160, 6.7 mm, f/3.5, 1/1320 sec).
My last printer, a HP Photosmart B8190 recently died and the model was discontinued a few years ago so I have been on the lookout for a replacement for making Fine Art Prints. This Epson Stylus 4900 arrive last night from B&H. Four guys had to unload it from the delivery truck. The instructions state that two people need to lift the printer from the shipping crate. It was really heavy, and difficult to do by myself. Once I got it up onto the desk (morning long project) I ran through the setup, loaded all of the inks, and got it configured on my network. The colors in the initial test prints look great, even if I am using up some remaining HP paper from the last printer. Image of “Blue Eyes” taken with a Leica X2 camera (ISO 100, 24 mm, f/2.8, 1/60 sec, fill flash).
North Bull Lighthouse at the Entrance to Dublin Harbor at the End of Bull Wall (most of which is now underwater). Image taken with a Leica V-Lux 6 camera (ISO 100, 17.7 mm, f/2.8, 1/320 sec).
Power Lines Crossing the Road to Crystal Geyser Near Green River, Utah. Image taken with a Nikon D300 camera and 18-200 mm VR lens (ISO 200, 32 mm, f/10, 1/400 sec).
Do a search for Crystal Geyser and Green River, Utah. It is worth seeing – a cold, carbon dioxide powered geyser. I have posted images of it erupting in the past.
