Elton One

I some time ago took these photographs of the reflection bounced between my double glazing while looking out of my window.  I should have used a much longer exposure and smaller aperture to get a sharper image, although looking back I was on 2 seconds at f/18.  I was using my plastic Olympus 17.5-45mm kit lens - not the sharpest of lenses and through an extra two layers of glass the image really suffers in clarity.  I really need a good quality non-manual lens (But not one that focuses slower than your hand can move the focus ring - so typical of auto focus lenses).  And any kind of wide angle.

Check out the whole set here.

It’s a good way to start the day.

Remember to use a good quality donut - this one from Asda looked the part but tasted like cardboard without the taste.

I went to Leeds today to meet my dad and buy some new shoes. While I was there I took a few photographs while trying out a Cimko MT 28-80mm Lens I was given a while ago. The verdict is good so far and I have more to post. Especially sharp at high f numbers.

I added a little lens vignetting using Lightroom to the above photograph.

Some heavy grading in Lightroom.  Just messing about really.
