Gardencourt, March 31, 2012

This is an experimental set shot at Gardencourt in Louisville. Gardencourt was the mansion of a couple of spinster sisters of the Norton family. It now belongs to Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, my alma mater. This set is experimental in that, with the exception of the pix of me and the apple blossoms which were shot on the D70, the rest were shot on the Nikon D7000, but with an antique Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 lens, one of my all-time favorites. The D7000 lets you set up “profiles” for old lenses so it meters them and even gives you focus assist in the viewfinder. Love this camera. Click on the pictures for a larger view.

Hi-Fi

My Kenwood KR-4600 amp and the Pioneer PL-516 turntable. This is exquisite sound. Click on photos for larger view.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is how to do it if you want to listen to music. There has never been a iPod built that can produce sound like this rig can. There’s not a molecule of digital in the whole pipeline. It’s pure analog. Run it out to a pair of Bose speakers and it’s ecstasy.
