Morning Stretch

This morning, like most, I wanted to get a short warm-up in. Photographic warm up, I mean. In other words, finding a few compositions within the few hundred square feet I occupy in the morning. I was moving too slow to get a shot of the fox that showed up in the yard, making its rounds, but fingers crossed for tomorrow. I'll try to be ready. In the meantime, you gotta work with what's in your immediate environment. So I'm glad we live in a nice environment. It helps to surround yourself with beautiful things.

Tasting notes: Fujifilm X-S1 in b/w mode.

Idle Moments

Sometimes it is worthwhile to do photographic exercises — just to get the juices flowing, so to speak. For instance, put the camera in the most automatic mode possible and just shoot B&W jpegs. On this outing, my goal was to make an exposure every ten seconds during a short walk. Two years later, and a few of the frames still interest me.
