![]() ![]() I never noticed anything worth chasing, no special places where the light was exceptional, and no compelling moments where I felt like I was in the right place at the right time.Īfter I got home, I deleted all but four photographs, and I could have easily done away with them all. ![]() The best way to sum up my shoot is to say I had a nice walk. I got off to a slow start today as I experienced the usual episodes of clumsiness symptomatic of a student who doesn’t practice regularly. ![]() I’m thinking about some ideas for future posts. I was supposed to go to Montreal this month, but that has been canceled, and I still have a few rays of hope for a trip I booked to France this fall. Meanwhile, my travel plans are on hold for the short term, and probably the long term as well. Until there’s a vaccine to protect us from a lethal virus that’s so easily transmitted, how do I safely get in range of my subjects with a fixed 28mm lens and still capture details that make for an interesting image? Yes, it's a first world problem that takes a back seat to the current global crisis, and a lot will have to change before I need to act on my dilemma. It’s been several months since my last post, and I’m feeling the need to publish something that acknowledges my absence, but at the same time says I haven’t abandoned this blogging effort. In this era of Covid-19, I have no new work to share, and blogs that slip into states of inaction begin to decay with stale content. I’ve been in self quarantine since March 14th. Once I’m vaccinated, I plan to make up for lost time whether that includes the Leica Q2 Monochrom or not, but like before, I now have a premonition. It also means I won’t be rushing into this next purchase for many months which is good for my head, but even better for my pocket. I don’t expect to be out in public shooting close-up images of humanity until next summer or next fall. First and foremost, I already have a Leica Q, and secondly I have no place to go while Covid-19 cases surge in the United States and Europe. This time the culprit is the Leica Q2 Monochrom, yet there are plenty of differences between then and now. Many years later, I find myself in a similar boat. When the proceeds of my equipment sales were within $500 of the price of a new Q, I pulled the trigger. I can honestly say if felt great to unload it all. I priced all my equipment to sell because I didn’t want to prolong the sell-off period. I didn’t want to give it up, and what gave me solace was the premonition I would someday own this camera, but only when I sold all my other camera gear. To this day, I remember the separation anxiety I was feeling as I boxed the camera to overnighted it back to the camera dealer. That emotion eventually paved the way for a rental period that spanned a long holiday weekend. I needed to hold it, and I needed to shoot with it. I spent a considerable amount of time researching this camera, but despite all the specs, something was missing. The Canon sat in a closet along with the accessories, and only the Fuji saw the light of day.Īfter a workshop in New York City, the Leica Q popped on my radar. I also managed to accumulate several L series lenses for my Canon. Years ago, I sold all of my 2 cameras - a Fuji X-T100, and a Canon 6D. but i think i only used one or two of the sizes for the white.Īnswer your question? PM me and i can send you a screen capture video if you want or need me to.I’m not a photographer who collects gear. then painted in the black halftones using 3 stages of the halftone sizes to get transitions of value. but are half the cost.īriefly I painted in the red. the two brush kits i got from true grit are DOPE. and they tend to be VERY resource heavy and have done their best to kill my computer. there are free stipple brushes out there that will get you close to this effect but not the same. BUT you can also paint in a swatch of color and then convert that swatch to halftones using the effect-pixelate-color halftone effect. The halftones? They are brushes and i used the blob brush to paint in the halftones. ![]()
