Monochrome for Austin by Nancy Rubins
(click to see larger).
The piece was created by Nancy Rubins, a full time fine artist who has also created monumental works in Paris and Chicago.
I was out for a walk when I came across the sculpture, several weeks ago. It's riveting. And whimsical and a bit absurd (but in a good way...).
I was fortunate to be carrying a comfortable and competent camera with me at the time. The image above was shot with a Sony RX10ii camera.
Just thought I'd flesh out a previous post with some concrete details. Life is always surprising. Sometimes you have to walk around see where they've put the surprises on any given day.

still one of the best!
I met Lance a couple of weeks ago in Denver
and found him to be really fun and knowledgeable
this class reflects what he teaches in hands-on
workshops in Ireland and Iceland, as well as
cool places around the U.S.

These cameras with 1inch sensors seem to do a great job. What do you think of the new Nikon DL 18-50 compact? I've got one on order.
Hi Jim, I haven't had my hands on one yet but I'm betting Nikon has learned a lot over the last few years with the System 1 cameras. If Sony makes the sensor that part will be superb. Can't wait to see one in the flesh. The one inch sensors really work well. Beginning to think the rest of the stuff, like full frame and medium format might fall under .... nostalgia.
Kirk, thanks for the the blog by the way, one of my, if not favourite photography read on the web... However, that said, your writings did inspire me to pick up a good used RX10 recently! I think they're good value on the used market at the moment, and a fine all round camera. Thanks!
Now that you are getting a lot of people interested in the 1" sensor, what specific photo techniques would you recommend to achieve the best results.
