Hackensack History / Re: Hendrix at George's Club 20 (Hackensack)
« on: March 23, 2011, 06:33:56 PM »
At the end of the song, the narrator confirms the December 26 date, but says it's 1964 instead of 1965.

In all the discussions regarding the date, I've never heard 1964 mentioned before.

There's also a scroll during the song that says it was recorded at The Manhattan in 1964 - even though the narrator identifies the location as George's both at the beginning and the end of the song.

Nothing like making up new errors and creating even more confusion where plenty already existed, is there?

My reference to a light meter was tongue in cheek.

I know. ;)


Here's a sequence I shot a couple of weeks ago. It's just a plane coming into Teterboro, but it sure doesn't look like it.

(maybe I shouldn't have said what it was)

I envy your stability....Sell your light meter on E-Bay.

CLOSEUPS

Guy removing lights: AUTO, 1/640, f5.6, ISO 160

Enlightenment/top of dome: AUTO, 1/200, f5.6, ISO 80

Statues (both shots): AUTO, 1/400, f5.6 ISO 80, 100

Why would stability be an issue in broad daylight? I'd worry about that if it went below 1/60............and that's without IS.

The traffic light at night is another story - I set the shutter speed and had to use a tripod.

I never owned a light meter. Shooting concerts for two decades taught me how to deal with weird, uneven lighting.

I don't have a viewfinder either.

To answer your other question..........no tripod was used during the courthouse area shoot. It was bright and sunny, so shutter speeds were fast enough - even zoomed out. Plus, both the camera and I have Image Stabilization. ;)

New image: all 3 colors are lit in one direction and 2 are lit in the other at Union and Passaic streets:

May I ask what camera you bought? I...presently use a Canon Power shot SX 120...

After a lot of research, the hands-down winner was the Canon SX 130 IS. The zoom is 12X (28-336) and that was a must for me.

I have a Mac and - believe it or not - do almost all my photo editing in the super-simple iPhoto program that came with the computer.

The Court Street Bridge Replacement

The first photo shows what's spanning the river at the moment - the Court Street Craneway.

The second shows the old bridge, sitting on dry land just off the water between the USS Ling and the beginning of Bridge Street.

The third shows the top of the larger crane - the one that's NOT on the Craneway.

My analog gear is on its last legs and the cellphone camera is REALLY limiting, so I got a new little digital camera to play with and I've been shooting up a storm.

I don't want to create hundreds of topics, so I think I'm gonna put a lot of the photos in this one from time to time. There may not be any rhyme or reason - it's just whatever caught my eye that day.

I'll occasionally still do separate topics, but, hopefully, less often.

Questions/comments/discussion always welcome.


Let's start off with two shots of the same subject - good old Enlightenment. The first was taken last Saturday from my living room - a mile away. It looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

The second was taken this morning from across Court Street (click to enlarge).

I found another reference on this site about the pool from irons35:

http://www.hackensacknow.org/index.php?topic=1259.0

The comment was "I believe the terheun house was roughly located on the sears parking lot. it was torn down to make way for the Hackensack pool, which was filled in to make  parking lot for sears."
