A New Lens
This is my contribution to Nancy’s A Photo a Week Challenge: Something New prompt.
This is my latest unusual lens. A tiny 25mm CCTV lens adapted to a mirrorless camera. I purchased it to replace one that the focusing mechanism keeps jamming on.
Photographed using a cheap 35mm CCTV lens adapted to a mirrorless camera. I used my new LED studio lights with a red filter on one of the lights.

Motion
This is my contribution to the A Photo a Week Challenge: Motion prompt.
I quickly had a rather long “shortlist” of around a dozen images but wanted to go with four. That four changed twice before I decided enough was enough and stopped swapping photos.

Abandoned
This is my contribution to Nancy Merrill’s A Photo a Week Challenge: Abandoned prompt.
An abandoned crofters cottage on the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
A local eyesore, the abandoned grocery store in the town of Wiarton on the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario.
The ruins of Beeston Castle, Cheshire. Abandoned during the English Civil War after being partially demolished to prevent its further use.

Cracked Ice Along the Shoreline
This is my contribution to the A Photo a Week Challenge: Cracked prompt.
My first thought was cracked ice, probably because of the recent weather in this part of Ontario.
Cracked ice along the Colpoy’s Bay shoreline at sunrise a couple of winters ago.

Joy?
This is my contribution to the A Photo a Week Challenge: Joy prompt.
I was photographing ripples on Colpoy’s Bay at sunrise when this Common Loon swam into the section with the most interesting ripples. I wasn’t overjoyed until the bird surfaced and did a nice wing stretch after a dive.
I don’t know if the stretch was to help the bird swallow a fish it had caught while underwater or if it’s simply straightening ruffled feathers but it certainly looks joyful.

Nostalgic
This is my contribution to the A Photo a Week Challenge: Nostalgic prompt.
It took me a while to come up with a theme for the challenge. Then I thought about my ‘getting back to basics’ project and I had my theme.
A few years ago I put together a kit of manual focus prime lenses to shoot digital the same way I used to shoot film in the 1970s and early 80s. It was a way of getting back to the basics of photography.
Then an accident last year left me with restricted movement in the right shoulder and a weaker right arm and I slimmed the kit down further to three small, manual focus primes and a small mirrorless camera.
