A somewhat eerie orange light embraced Newcastle this morning as the Sun rose.



K1 + DFA 28-105 uncropped.

A reenactment of a situation that occurs whenever the power goes out- as happened a few days ago when we were hit by the snow storm. I often place flashlights or LED lanterns behind water bottles to create a soft diffuse light to fill a room. Much nicer than the harsh, direct light made by these gadgets.

Short drive around the town outskirts.

A cliche perhaps, but I have just finished putting the christmas lights up outside and thought, why not. Still had the DA 300 mounted so used that at near min focus and wide open.


Pentax DA* 300 f4 on K-S2.

Today's offering is a banjo tuning peg also serving double duty for the 52 Project 2017 challenge. The bird like reflection in the peg is purely coincidental, something on the wall is reflecting on the peg. The photo was taken in my basement under fluorescent lighting (artificial lighting).

A small man made waterfall for today, with the light streaks creating a pleasing abstract. Could not get full frontal -just no no place, so taken at a slight angle, which I rather like, giving the streaks a diagonal drop.

I had planned to take some shots this evening of one of the bridges in NYC. But my meeting got cancelled so I got home at a reasonable time and had to make do with a safety with my Helios 44-2. I had lunch at Peter Lugar's Steakhouse with a friend and took home some chocolate geld, so that was my subject of sorts.

and more light

Fujifilm X-E1 and Konica Hexanon AR 40mm f1.8

K-3 + Phoenix 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5. Same scene as Single In, slightly different viewpoint and processing.

I was planning the usual colored bokeh balls nd actually had a pretty good shot in the can, then I thought... what if I stop down and focus? The result: Color bursts!

It's hard to do a photo about light when there wasn't any. Not that there wasn't any light, the sun was up, so you could see. However it was a flat dull monochromatic grey sky. No discrete light sources. Besides it kept raining harder. So I finally gave up and drove home. K-1 with Tamron 28-75 f/2.8
