All sorts

Bit of a mixed bag today. Some, shot from the hip, some not. No big wordy thoughts on the todays subjects just pics from the chip. As always no fiddling just straight off the chip.

In no particular order.

Hello to all that may pass this way via the Path Less Travelled.

Such as life is, and the random juxtapositions it throws up from time to time. Today this little gem presented itself.

Despite prefering to use proper cameras. This was taken on a phone. Oh the shame, but is it?
Might have been Bailey. (or not) That said, the best camera in the world, is the one in your hand.

Merry Christmas all.

 

 

2 9 50

Not posted much lately, been enjoying the 2 too much.

However, today through up an opportunity for a mix of driving the 2, and taking pics with the M9 with a 50 elmar-m bolted to the front. Also presented with a great chance to compare shots with and with out a polariser..

Not the simplest thing to do, But still do-able.
Know you pola. By how many stops do you need to compensate? Mine is worth two stops.

I normally hold up the pola and rotate in mid air to see the effect. I then make a mental note of the writing on the back so I can hold it in that position for the shot.

I then compose and set the exposure. set it normal then open by two stops.
Whilst framing the shot I then simply place the pola in front of the lens. Sorted.
Obviously exposure is done manually.

Without pola

 With pola

And a mix of shots slightly varying the exposue. 1/2 stop at a time. Just rotating the shutter speed dial between shots.
