This week Ann-Christine gives us the prompt Soft for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge.
My first thought was of some of the photos I had taken last year when I was experimenting with photographing flowers and plants with various unusual lenses. Mostly fast portrait lenses but also some CCTV lenses adapted to a mirrorless camera.
This is my contribution to Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge: Words that contains two letter A’s prompt.
The first word I thought of was camera and it was an easy word to build a post around.
In the end I decided to go with a small selection of photos taken using various camera settings and techniques that show something that the human eye cannot normally see.
This is my contribution to the Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge: Greenery.
When the challenge was posted on Saturday morning we had had 33 hours of snow and it was still snowing. Various roads in the area are closed as I work on this post.
So I decided to look back at last summer and autumn to see if there was any greenery images I had edited for a blog post and then never used. These are all from my walks around the neighborhood with a camera.
This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Found in the Neighborhood prompt.
I decided to keep it simple and go with a selection of photos taken on my walks around the neighborhood starting shortly after Ontario had gone into lockdown in the spring.
I then decided to select one photo from the spring, one from the summer and one from autumn.
Paper Birch trees against a blue sky. Taken in the spring after a lot of the world had gone into lockdown. I noticed that the sky seemed bluer, possibly due to the lack of aircraft flying at the time.
I spent part of the summer experimenting with photographing flowers and plants with various unusual lenses when out for my walks around the neighborhood. This fern frond was taken using a fast portrait lens.
A small, red Maple leaf amongst Ivy leaves taken on one of my walks around the neighborhood this autumn.
A quick post featuring a photo taken on a recent walk around the neighborhood. We still don’t have an internet connection so I’m using the phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot.
A fading fern frond in dappled sunlight on the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario. A sign that summer is over.
Monochrome Monday travels back to a walk around the neighborhood yesterday morning.
I was switching between colour and monochrome during the walk depending on the subject matter.
This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Under the Sun prompt.
I decided to go with a small selection of photos from this spring and summer when I was testing various lenses in a variety of types of sunlight.
