7/365 View from the bridge
From Blackfriars Bridge – waiting at Blackfriars station for a (delayed) train.
Next time I’m planning that particular journey I’ll take the wide-angle lens. This one can’t really do justice to this view!
Technical notes:
Nikon D90, Nikkor 50mm f1.8 AF 1/50 @ f/4 ISO 800.
6/365 Fire
It has been truly freezing the last few days. Monday’s snow took till Wednesday evening to thaw. Here’s Tuesday’s picture; a warming shot of fire. Keeping the faith with the 50mm lens. More variety coming soon though – promise!
Technical notes:
Nikon D90, Nikkor 50mm f1.8 AF 1/60 @ f/4, ISO 800. In-built flash.
5/365 First Shoots of Spring
Snow on the ground; first shoots of spring.
Still keeping going with my 50mm ‘plastic fantastic’ lens. Need to re-learn how to use it to its’ best effect.
Technical notes:
Nikon D90, Nikkor 50mm f1.8 AF 1/100 @ f/6.3.
4/365 Sleepy Sunday
Lazing on the spare bed on a Sunday afternoon.
Again, I’m trying out using my 50mm f/1.8 lens without flash. Yes, everyone should get one, whether Canon or Nikon owner – and I’m sure there’s an equally fabulous cheap prime lens from the other major manufacturers too…
Technical notes:
Nikon D90, Nikkor 50mm f1.8 AF 1/50 @ f/14. Experimenting with no flash.
3/365 Trip the trip, the light’s fantastic
New wall lights put up this morning. Tripped the trip switch, the light’s a lot more fantastic than it was. Result – we’ve got rid of the old horrid cheap-looking ones, and no longer need to buy a separate reading light as there’s now enough room light from three of these.
Technical notes:
Nikon D90, Nikkor 50mm f1.8 AF 1/50 @ f/14. Experimenting with no flash.
2/365 As I was going up the stair…
I met a man who wasn’t there. Day 2 (in a Big Brother sort of voice).
And for the observant amongst you, noooo shoes!
Technical notes:
Nikon D90, Nikkor 50mm f1.8 AF 1/60 @ f/1.8, SB-800 flash
Note to LJ readers: I will fix this so you don’t have to see big images inline at the weekend!
New year’s photography resolutions
There’s a great article over at Photojojo of New Year’s Photography resolutions – check it out here.
Having read all of the suggestions, I decided that I already do some of them. Others aren’t practical for me. But… I might just try Project 365. It might be a bit more difficult to actually have the camera with me each day at some point but hey, others (Amanda,Simon, Michelle) have inspired me and I think I should give it a go!
Herewith, picture #1. Me. Ready for action.
Technical notes:
Nikon D90, Nikkor 18-200mm f3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR DX @122mm. 1/60 @ f/5.3. Flash in commander mode with SB-800 on half power behind me.
PS: Amanda / Spongey / Meeshy – best to post to a community or to a group on your f-list that people can opt in-and-out of? What worked for you?
