On my usual route over the Keville footbridge there’s always a nice view of the South River. This photo from a few days ago is my contribution for World Photography Day. It was taken with an iPhone using the Halide app set for DNG. Several images, actually, all stitched together in Lightroom.
I took a walk around Boston with my camera today. These photos were taken between 1 PM and 4 PM on an unseasonably warm Friday afternoon. Usually the streets would be teeming with people on lunch break, shopping or just beginning their commute. But not today.

I made sure to keep my distance from the few people out and about. The experience reminded me of New Orleans after Katrina. It’s very eerie to see the city like this but I also thought it important to document what’s happening.
Forth Cliff in Scituate, taken today from across the channel. Leica SL, with the big zoom, handheld.
I trekked out through the Daniel Webster wildlife sanctuary yesterday afternoon. It’s a great spot, both for a walk and for photography.
The afternoon started out cloudy but the clouds thinned just before the end of the day and the light changed for the better. I set up a shot at my favorite two trees and a walker came through just in time to get into one of the photos – and that was the one I liked best.
This is just a first pass on processing. These versions are a little crunchy but eventually I’ll take some time to get the tones right. They were taken with my beat-up old Leica SL. For the twin trees I used a Voigtländer 15mm f/4.5 and my new Peak Design tripod. For the other two I used the Leica 24-90 f/2.8 at 24mm handheld. The shot at the top is a stitched panorama.
It’s astonishing how good the cameras on phones are these days. Although I dread the inevitable dominance of computational photography, you have to admit that it can produce nice images.
I took this photo with an iPhone 11 pro near Groton, Connecticut, from the window of a fast moving Amtrak train. The train windows added a bit of light distortion to the sky but overall this is a pleasing result, considering the circumstances.
