It seems ages since I last made some pictures for myself, it must be about 6 weeks or more now. The free time coincided with a new camera to try out and a new sense of beginning that I seemed to have after clearing out over 20 years worth of photographic equipment that I no longer wanted, used or needed.?There still seems a lot left though! 5 boxes of gear was sent to Ffordes Photographic and the contents are now on sale.
A quick trip to Cefn Bryn last week produced a few images of the dramatic light conditions as the sun tried to break through the fast moving clouds just before sunset. I found it tricky to try and capture the whole view in one image. Too much sky seemed to weaken the visual ?impact of the light falling on the landscape, so when looking back at the images on the screen at home, the images that showed sections of the view seemed strongest.
For those of you wandering what camera I have now bought, it doesn’t matter. It’s a digital SLR with a lens. Remember photographs are made by people and not cameras; they are just tools to allow you to express your vision.
Go on,tell us – Is it a N*k*n FF ?
Hi Benedict,
Thanks for dropping by the blog and the tweet the other day about Skokholm Island. I have been seen lurking in the background in the Puffin episode so far. Thankfully my pieces to camera look to have been cut out!
As for the camera, well it would be telling if I gave the game away now! You’re not the only one who thinks it is a FF camera. I’ll keep you all guessing for a bit longer I think!
Best wishes,
Nick
