Not much to say about this set. I dropped exposure compensation back to -2 to get hand-holdable speeds at 5:45am in the parking lot at work (or maybe it was during the rainstorm and just to keep the D7000 from overexposing, as it’s wont to do with 3rd party lenses), and forgot tot check it …

7/52-21 Focusing Closely on Nature
Well, I planned for this to be Bug Week, and so strapped on the Vivitar 70-210mm, and put it in close-focus mode to facilitate bug-shooting, but it was not to be… too busy just not shooting, I guess. So it became just Close Focus week. I shot some random man-made stuff too—a trashbag blowing across …
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 …
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 …
