Christmas Vendor, Montpellier

Christmas Vendor, Montpeillier
“Christmas Vendor, Montpeillier” — A street vendor sells Christmas items on a narrow street with hoiday “cloths’ hung overhead.

Our December visit to Montpellier, France obviously took place during the holiday season. Although it was cold and occasionally rainy while we were there, the streets were often filled with shoppers and others out on the town. The colorful cloths tied to lines spanning the narrow streets were everywhere. I later read that these come out for many holidays and special occasions here.

Along this narrow street a nearby shop had expanded its space outside along the walkway, offering holiday cards and similar items to passers-by. It was daytime when I made the photograph, but this street is so narrow and the buildings so tall, that it felt like twilight on the walkway — except here were lights were turned on.

A B&H Update – March Deals and Promotions

I would like to share some updates on current B&H promotions, some of which expire soon.*

Fujifilm

Fujifilm has a current promotion on mirrorless cameras and lenses this month, primarily as bundles when you purchase one or more lenses along with the X-E1 or X-Pro-1 bodies. I recently acquired the X-E1 to augment my Canon DSLR setup, along with several lenses, and I took advantage of one of the bundles. The primary “deal” bundles one of the bodies (X-E1 in black or black-and-silver) with the excellent image-stabilized 18mm-55mm zoom or with one or more of the Fujinon primes: 18mm, 35mm, and 60mm macro. There is also an excellent (though pricey!) 14mm f/2.8 prime – and I can vouch for its fine image quality based on my personal experience.

The number of combinations eligible for this promotion is quite large, so rather than linking to all of them here I have linked to a few basic versions – and you can click through from the landing pages to find the variations. This promotion ends this month.*

Sony

General

Rebates – some expire very soon*

Black and white photograph of narrow urban canyon that is Maiden Lake, in the financial district of New York City.

This street scene is in lower Manhattan, not far from the site of the World Trade Center towers. The morning light seems especially interesting on this curving street as the sun manages to penetrate all the way to the street level and the illuminated fronts of the buildings lining the “concrete canyon” are visible due to the curve.
