January 28, 2017 8152 Canon 50D Available light in the kitchen – “E” and I took a moment for cups of tea this afternoon. It’s the kind of cold overcast day that invites hunkering down (and naps). Alas, no naps, but a nice quiet afternoon with soft, even light. Here,
January 26, 2017 Hadley, MA 8114 The sun was setting and I was driving past a farm road, so I decided to pull down to see what opportunities there were for making images. While there wasn’t much of interest for landscapes, there were a few patches of field that had
January 25, 2017 8109 ISO 400 @ 1/100 50mm @ f1.4 I was feeling somewhat minimalist and still wanted to work more with the Pentax 50mm when I was searching out subjects tonight. Our bathroom is quite bright and happens to be all white too, so when I was looking
January 23, 2017 8053 Canon 50D ISO 1600 @ 1/50 Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 @f1.4 More work with available light indoors – this day I switched out my Canon 50mm STM lens for the manual focus Pentax 50mm f1.4 Super Takumar. I love the speed of the lens (f1.4!)

January 21, 2017 Holyoke, MA 7980 Temperatures climbed into the 50’s today, so “E” and I headed to Ashley Reservoir for a walk. It felt more like March, though the ice on the reservoir served as a reminder that it isn’t. This view between the trees caught my eye both

January 18, 2017 7929 Wednesday evening after dinner. Cleaning up and the shelf above the stove caught my eye. I’ve used it as a subject in the past and felt compelled to do so again. We have a few antique accessories and utensils from E’s grandmother that we keep there
January 17, 2017 7913 Shooting after dark – it’s sleeting out and quite a bit dreary. For some reason the thought of photographing a still life has popped up lately and this evening seemed like the ideal time. Although I enjoyed playing with the composition and trying different set-ups, I think
