1 question (lag time) Can you kindly tell me how many seconds it took you, to shoot 1 shot to the next one, on the camera that you were using that day. Thank You |

I had questioned the time it would take between photos on a Sony Mavica FD series, but there are different ones. I was using one a few years ago and it took about 7 seconds between taking pictures. Last year I saw a guy with a Mavica and asked him to take some pictures so I could see how long it took between pics. With the Sony Mavica he had it took 4 seconds between pics. I don't consider this an issue anymore and believe Carmen could have and did take those pictures that day!!! |

Question: Who is Frank J. DeNicola and why was he listed in the New York Times 9/12/2001 issue, p. A8, as the photographer of Carmen's pics? I searched and found no answers, or mention of his name. Anybody know? http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/12/us/a-day-of-terror-news-analysis-awaiting-the-aftershocks.html?pagewanted=2 Sorry, no pictures. Just text... at the bottom of the web version it credits photos that aren't in the web version. I saw the paper today at the library on microfilm. Trust me. The pics were Carmen's. One with the plane. Then one with the explosion. |

sounds like the AP guy Jeff called who carried this case, wrote an article, but I can't find it, here or anywhere. He brushed it off, as if 'just doing his job'...

Mistakes are forgivable. Especially during the journalistic nightmare of 9/11. It's a shame that image sources can get so easily screwed up. That's something we need to rectify... if only in the long run by studious collecting... Frank J. DeNicola. Weird. |

I wonder if Carmen's ever watched the Hezarkhani video and listened out for her own voice? |

I would like to know what shutter speed, aperture and iso was used to freeze a plane going 5oo mph while bobbing up and down on a ferry, because I've taken many pictures but that's some lucky picture? I wish I could have asked that question before but I've just found this thread and missed the boat sort of speak. Maybe it is possible but I have done air show photography and anything flying fast will take a tripod and some luck to get a plane frozen in mid air like that with good camera. |

Exactly what I was thinking about YOUROOM! How can it be that a plane going over 500 mph could be captured crystal clear including the surroundings, makes no sense to me; one of the two should get blurred. Follow the plane with your camera so it stays sharp and the buildings go blurry, OR keep the camera pointed at one point and the plane will get blurred, right? Or the photographers had real short shutter times and very light sensitive film (the 'iso' thing) OR the pictures are fakes! The closer to the action you get the more blurred it gets. |

I have watched the Hezarkhani video and never thought to listen for my own voice since I didn't say anything while I was on the ferry until one of the crew came and got me when they were unloading everyone. I didn't even notice that everybody else was leaving. I said a few words of apology to him. E-mailed Jeff a day or two ago and told him about my recent conversation with Michael Hezarkhani. The best Michael and I can determine, he was about twenty feet directly behind me. Tgc C |

heavyplastic you are right, if its a tracking shot, the background should be blurred, because you are following the object with the camera, the only way to get it sharp would be to use a very fast shutter speed and higher iso making the shot grainy. We need to find out the maximum shutter speed of the camera used because that will help us understand it better. |

Just ask... first of all, it was not a tracking shot. I correctly assumed that the plane would be positioned directly in front of the South Tower and I set up the shot accordingly. I assumed, incorrectly, that the plane would fly past the Tower, perhaps circling it, not bank and fly into it. Second, finding out the maximum shutter speed of the camera wouldn't make much difference if I weren't using the maximum shutter speed. I'll check the CD which I transferred my images onto and see what the properties of the image are. tgc C |
