Some
The last few weeks have been hectic, lot of things to do at work and I haven’t really been able to get out … while the sun has been up. But both yesterday and today I was able to take a decent walk - I need these kind of walks. Of course I had my camera with me but since the main reason for the walk was to get some exercise I didn’t really concentrate on the photos. But here are a few “sketch images” from today. With “sketch images” I mean photos I take to play around with things to see how things work.
This image is just a close up of some frost, the difficulty here is get the texture of the ice visible - I need to continue playing with this.
I took this image because I wanted to see how it looked like in black and white. For this image to really work I would need better separation of the tree from the background but … it wasn’t possible. But here is the B&W and color version, the B&W is basically standard conversion without any editing. I adjusted the color version a bit to try to bring out the warm colors. I should have worked more on the B&W version but …
And just some snapshots just because I liked the color of the light.

How I’ve been affected by Brexit: Buying something from GB has become expensive … so I’ve stopped buying.

I took a walk to look at a few places where I haven’t been for a while. It’s actually difficult to get here in the summer since it so wet, but now everything is frozen.

Soooo disappointed, two weeks ago I did my first sport shoot in two years … and the result isn’t good. I know it’s because a combination of being out of practice, using one camera that I’ve never used for this kind of photography, a new camera that I barely used at all, and slow lenses (there was a reason why I used to have f2.8 lenses).
I didn’t think it the difference using a sports camera and general purpose cameras would be this big. Also, having used m43 system exclusively for two years makes me misjudge the depth of field for a full frame camera all the time.
Well, time to start relearning.

13:41 - This might explain why I like fast lenses (imagine how it looks like in an hour or two)
