Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
Possibly my favorite building in New York City. For a digital (taken with a Panasonic Lumix LX-3) black and white version of this magnificent building and a bit more information on the building itself see: Chrysler Building

I took this in Downing Park in Newburgh, NY. It shows the “Polly” Pond and the Shelter House in the background.
For more information on the “Polly” Pond and a digital image of a similar view see: Downing Park, Newburgh – The “Polly” Pond. For more information on the Shelter House see: Downing Park, Newburgh – The Shelter House.

Ducks and ducklings on the “Polly Pond” in Downing Park, Newburgh, NY. If you’re interested in comparing film and digital I also took a digital picture of these same ducks using my Sony RX-100 M3 – See: Downing Park, Newburgh – A Duck and her ducklings.
I think I prefer this one (i.e. the film version), but not necessarily because it’s film. I like the composition more. The digital version is, to me, a little too “formal” with all of the ducks in neat lines travelling in the same direction. It’s almost as if it’s posed. On the other hand the film version is more chaotic. There’s more going on: two of the ducklings have their heads in the water; one looks as if it has just lifted its head out and has weed dripping its beak; another one looks as if it’s about to dip its head in.

I was going into New York City to have lunch with a friend and former colleague. I was standing on platform 4 at Scarborough Station, Briarcliff Manor (our local station) when the train pulled in and I took this picture.
