Just a quick post tonight. Thank you everyone for your well wishes. I feel a bit silly for being a sap last night, but also very loved reading all your comments. I think I have a little bug, and today my voice is fading a little, much to my friends’ amusement.
I like these colour / monochrome comparisons, so today I’m giving you a very simple photograph but I found it quite striking. It was taken the same day as my Angry Bird photo. I was experimenting with my new 45mm f/1.8 lens (90mm equivalent) down at the local train tracks.
These are two different photos, taken closely together, both taken handheld, f/18, 1/800s at ISO640. I have this infuriating habit of forgetting to check ISO before heading outside. I’ve been doing a lot of indoor shoots lately and needed a higher ISO to cope with the lower light, but the train track shots were in bright Queensland sunlight, so I should have dialled it back to 200. I must start wearing a rubber band around my wrist as a reminder 🙂 Do you have any funny ways of reminding yourself of anything?
So take a look – colour or monochrome?
This is my submission for the Photo101 Rehab Clinic. If you want to join (it’s great therapy), please head over to my dear Lucile’s blog for all the details.
