My One-a-week project (2011)

Tempted again by the (super) moon. I think is the best until now; this time mirror lens 500/8.

Thank you Thierry.

I like your idea of a photo each week of the year. Gives you lots of practise in different seasons/weather conditions, plus an excuse to take photos each week Great photos so far.

Thank you. The idea is, yes, be obliged to take at least one photo a week, with some variety. Someone is doing a 365 project, but it is really too much for me, considering also some PP to be done, and some selection, which is part of photographing.

This sunday we had a traditional "late" carnival parade, and I took some picture. Light was dull, and I was not moving much from my position. However, I liked a couple of shots, one of which is this one, where kids seem not enjoying much the show.

I was traveling in the last few days. I supposed to bring here some more touristic picture, but I liked this one. However, there are a couple of technical mistakes. I'm always in trouble with leaves under the sun: the light reflex is always too hard. And reds here are out of control... anyway, I liked the overall effect.

Do you have a circular polarizer?

Do you have a circular polarizer?

yes, but I always forget it (I did not have it with me where I took the last picture) and honestly I never thought at it for the specific case of leaves reflex... I'll do some experiment, thanks, for the suggestion.

I like this one! I just wish I could see a bit more of the dog's face but I love the ocean of red he's sleeping in!

 

[enzodm]

RedWilder: I also would have preferred the dog's face, but I was not able to do differently...

I'm sometimes tempted by trying to obtain pictorial effects with the out-of-focus areas. Here a result, with some composition weakness, made with a mirror lens.

This week I'm late and short of pictures. However, since I had to buy new running shoes, same model as previous ones but new version, I attempted a sort of "product shot" (informal).
Shot is made with an old Rikenon 55/1.4 manual focus lens, at f/2.8 (almost sure).

On friday evening I went to a concert and took some picture, hitting the limits of my Xs in terms of sensibility and viewfinder.
This one is at ISO1600 and with a Rikenon 55/1.4, wide open or so. No much room to move back and avoiding cutting arms...

It's spring (taken last monday, here it was Liberation day; waited in case of some better picture...).
