TGIF: Good News And Small Problem

Been an all round good week.  Doctor pronounced cured. 

Parred down the camera kit and managed to do a short nearby wander with it.  Reducing the load down to two instead of three cameras worked well, except in one location.  

Monday's entry included 

              Cambridge City, Indiana.

that was taken March 2018.

Returning to see if there were any changes.  Discovered that indeed there were.

Initially selected the Panasonic FZ2500 with a 24mm to 480mm lens range, with camera in hand, moved to earlier camera position and discovered was unable to duplicate the point of view.  Lens, with a wide angle of 24mm, was not wide enough to include the scene.  Normally this problem could be solved by simply moving a bit further away.  In this case it was not possible to back up enough.  

Replaced the FZ2500 back in the bag and choose the other of the two, an Olympus EM 5.2 mounted with a wide angle 8mm to18mm lens.  Result was it was too wide which would require changing camera position and disrupt the attempt to match the earlier composition. 

Solution was to remain in the same location, knowing that the result would need to be cropped in order to match the earlier composition.

       Cambridge City, Indiana. 

This loss of information is not too serious as long as the crop is not too severe and the resulting file is not presented too large. Believe that for Web production, it was a fine answer to a problem.

There are obvious changes in the signage and window displays.  It is not clear as to whether the Stage Door is still in business.  Will continue to check as to its future.

Finally, while the gap between 18mm and 24mm seems small, it is still a gap.  The camera EM 5.2, equipped with its 12mm to 60mm lens, would easily cover the missing 6 mm. Question is, is it worth it to return to three bodies so that this range can be covered?  Time will tell, as since it was only one instance, perhaps this can be compensated in processing the files.
