7/52-20 One Camera (app); One Lens (/Film combo)

Another week, another struggle to find a theme. On Monday, I was hard at work when I heard some commotion behind me. I turned, saw one coworker talking to another, and decided the scene might make a good subject for a square-cropped image, what with all the lines and angles created by the cubicles, the …

7/52-19 Manual Focus Week!

aka “MF Week!” but I didn’t want to be ambiguous about it… So I decided to only use old manual lenses this week. These included the Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 ai, the Nikon 36-72mm f/3.5 E Series, the Nikon 75-150mm Zomb-E Series, and the Vivitar 70-210mm f/3.5 Series 1 (Kiron, maybe). I thought about going crazy …

The GSV, outside some mall somewhere

Not sure what I was working on that I ended up at the mall, but I was glad I did, since the GSV caught this gentleman coming out. Looks like he nearly got hit… Since the films and lenses don’t naturally show up in the LightBox, I’ve gone back and added them by hand. Say …

7/52-18 Reflections & Roses

Another week of not really thinking about the 7/52. I tried, I really did, but there was so much other excitement going on that I couldn’t really focus. I’m working on a new schedule for my not-working time that will allow for some quality photography time, and hope to implement it this week. My success …

7/52-17 Cats! (and not cats…)

AKA One of these is not like the other Another week of not-really-focusing-on-shooting, and with very, very good reason that I’ll share sooner or later. I did manage to break off an hour or so on Wednesday, and another 15 minutes yesterday in order to make some pictures, and I’m thankful I got 7 that …

7/52-16 a day with the Vivitar 50mm f/1.8

Well, I definitely broke a cardinal rule of the 7/52 this week… I only shot for the project on one day. I could make excuses—and the ones I have would be convincing and you would likely give me a pass, given the terrifyingly fabulous week  I had—but I won’t. Suffice it to say, I was …

7/52-15 LensBaby Week!!!1!

So I was pondering a theme for the week, couldn’t come up with anything better, so I decided it would be LensBaby Week. Yay. The LensBaby is a sort of toy tilt-shift lens with a pronounced sweet-spot (area of acceptable focus) and distinctive blur to everything else. I have the Muse with the plastic optic (no …
