We’ll I’m finally back from my brief trip to New York. I was in New York shooting, picking up Andrew, and also making some new friends. I was invited to drive north and chat with a few people at Sekonic, Pocket Wizard, Profoto, and Mamiya (and a few others). They’d seen some of my YouTube videos and gave me an open invitation to talk to them about their products – who wouldn’t jump at that?
I was able to get a first hand look at the new calibration software for the Sekonic L-758DR (it works!) and I was also able to get my hands on one of the new Sekonic PRODIGI COLOR C-500 meters.
Phil from Sekonic showed me some features of the L 758DR that I didn’t even know existed. He also walked me through the operation of the C-500 Color Meter. Now color correction is going to be a snap. I can’t wait to make a few videos to show you some of the things I learned.
After a full day of chatting and learning I took a train back to Manhattan. Yesterday I was able to spend a few hours walking the streets, meeting people, and shooting. Drew and I filmed a little bit of our walk about the city and I’ll be editing and posting some of those videos soon.
I met an interesting man named Richard in Washington Square Park. He’s a chess player and I actually played him a round of chess and lost in 51 seconds. I had a blast playing on a clock, it was the first time I’d ever done it and the first time I’d played chess in at least 10 years. Here are a few shots of Richard that I took while we were chatting.
