It’s Emily Again
Over the weekend we were visited by our friend Emily, for an impromptu BBQ. Whilst waiting for the food to cook I took a few snaps with my 5N and the Sigma lens.
Although the focus wasn’t crystal sharp on today chosen image, it was one of my favourites simply for the day-dreamy though in her eyes/face.
Shot at 400iso, under a old light, I played with the levels a little to bring up the whites and create a bit more of a softness to the skin tone.
Thanks again for the pose Emily!
The Colour Lavender
Dropping in to see some family after work today, I caught a quick snap of the lavender in full bloom.
Using Gimp in post processing, I desaturated several colours, slightly adjusted levels and added a little sharpness.
Sort and sweet for today!
Portrait of a Sheep
I managed to get out and about to several places with my camera today. First exploring some closed off cliff tracks, and then off to Cornwall Park for a around the base walk. Cornwall is full of cows and sheep (mostly sheep) and today’s image was of one sheep who came up to me to see what I was doing.
Shot on my Sony Nex with my recently received Sigma 2.8 30 Lens (50mm equivalent), I am more than happy with the quality this lens produces, especially when you consider it is about the cheapest lens built for the Nex at this point in time (not counting the plastic holga’s and lenses with adaptors). The focal length is great and the overall size, although bigger then the 16mm prime, is still nice and compact.
I also captured some interesting shots of a graffiti covered area on my closed off (fenced off to the public) walk, but will save them for a less active day.
Baaa for now.
