The MeFOTO A0350 has been a solid tripod over the years. I have not needed a new one or should. This is built to last. Don't cheap out and buy a flimsy $20 tripod. A tripod is a necessary investment. Skip out on a cheap one and you will continually purchase more tripods one after the next. Buy a MeFOTO that can keep up with the rigors of infiltration and uncomfortable angles. ;)

I have been a fan of Anker products since I purchased my first Anker Astro E4 Classic. I will never forget the day my cell phone went dead exploring the Bronx and I could not locate a nearby restaurant without the assistance of Google. It was a very sad day because I had to return home lost without my mapped out locations. Sometimes you are out exploring for 2-3 hours without an electrical outlet, chewing up data, sharing Snap videos, and messaging other explorer pals. These portable chargers have saved me in the field more than once and some of my friends when that red battery strikes.

Not every building has open windows for fresh air to filter inside abandoned buildings. I have been in some nasty boarded-up places where this has been a lung saver. Trust me you don't want to be breathing in the decades-old air mixed with asbestos and dead animals. Explore with safety in mind. Your health matters. Explore your way around until you start needing a cane. Protect your health.

The WR Draw Bridge: A Hidden Jewel between Newark and Kearny, NJ

Image
Steeped in rich history and bearing the telltale signs of a bygone era, the Erie WR Draw Bridge, colloquially known as the "Cut Bridge" stands as a living testament to the industrial past of Newark and Kearny, New Jersey. This landmark, which once 'cut' a path between the former Maas & Waldstein Company and the Northern New Jersey Oil Corporation properties, is a fascinating piece of local history, which I endeavored to understand back in 2016, only to find my nascent research skills wanting. In the heydays of my urban exploration and my modestly viewed YouTube channel , the bridge was a mysterious entity that intrigued me. Initially known as the Consolidated Rail Corporation Railroad Bridge, it is presently recognized as the landmarked WR Draw Bridge, a name that bears testimony to its strategic location. Constructed in 1897 and subsequently modified in 1911 and 1950, this plate girder swing bridge, spanning over the Passaic River, is a unique architectural marve

eBay Vintage Lens Buy: Asanuma Auto-Tele 135mm 1:2.8

Image
This Japanese lens was made by Asanuma Shokai in the early '10s and '20s. The lens is pretty well built for these particular types of old manual lenses. It s pretty light and not to solid or heavy like a Takumar. A good choice for a short tele-photo lens in the camera bag. So far the images are pretty sharp and overall great contrasting colors. A lens I will be surely using for the foreseeable future. Asanuma Shōkai has been a Japanese distributor of photographic supplies from the 19th century to the present day (2010). It manufactured its own large-format studio or field cameras, and also some amateur cameras in the 1910s and 1920s. Today it is best known for its range of accessories sold under the brand King.

Asanuma Auto-Tele 135mm 1:2.8 - Sample Photos

Image
Late Spring Brighton Beachgoers Today, I took a long ride cruising Ocean Parkway until I came to the end of one part of Brooklyn. Ocean Parkway extends over a distance of about five miles (8 km), running almost north to south from the vicinity of Prospect Park to Brighton Beach. On the boardwalk were a lot of couples, old people, families and beachgoers. It wasn't surprising to see so much people since Friday we had rain from morning until probably late into early Saturday morning. I took a few shots of my new Japanese glass I bought recently. I think I am having a problem buying all these old telephoto lens. Another 135mm added to the collection. If only if I would save my money for a vintage Carl Zeiss Planar T*. Here I only took a few snaps because my previous location did not pan out to test out the Asanuma 135mm. I look forward in the coming days in using this nice lens on my Canon 600D.

Bayside Fuel Oil Depot Corporation (Astral Oil Works) Demolished Part 1

Image
Black & White for old time sake.  The end of Bayside Fuel Depot has come to an end. During the month of July - August 2019, the last vestiges of this waterfront property located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York came to end. All that is left is the concrete base that will be assessed and remediated for the toxic contaminants in the soil. It brings to an end a swirling debate among locals and preservationists who had competing ideas on how the park (Bushwick Inlet Park Extension) should be redeveloped once cleanup was finished. Locals wanted the tanks removed because it would spoil the views of Manhattan across the river. Preservationists wanted to incorporate the empty 50-foot tanks into the design of the new park which would respect the storied history and architecture of what was once an industrial oil transfer station. To learn more details of their proposal you can read them here . It even seemed the city sided with locals on the removal of all the tanks
