Passenger Seat

Back in early 2016 I purchased a book written by Julianne Kost called “Passenger Seat: Creating a Photographic Project from Conception through Execution in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom” is ' clicl HERE to see her blog about it. The images are all from her taken at various times shooting at slow shutter speed out of the passenger seat window.

I have done a few experiment last year but did not blog them. Coming back from Wimpole Hall on Sunday and as Sue was driving I decided to shoot some shots out of the window.

I was shooting with the Olympus OMD EM1 with the f2.8 PRO 12 - 40mm lens. I set the camera to

• Low ISO (100ISO)
• Aperture Priority 
• f/22 

This meant that the shutter speed would be the slowest I could obtain without any filters. Typically this was about 1/25 sec, there where shots at 8 seconds at one end and 1/80 sec at the other. I will be trying on another journey with a ND filter to get even slower shutter speed. 

This blog also ties in with by ongoing Tree Project. I will be posing another blog with images from the Passenger Seat but with Urban Scapes.

Great Fun - you should try it.

I just had to include a selfie ......

Fish Eye Fun at Wimpole Hall

Still at Wimpole hall last Sunday. On the walk back from the lake I switched to the Fine Eye Lens on the Olympus. This is a Samyang 7.5mm f/3.5 manual focusing lens (equivalent to a 15mm lens on a full frame camera). About a third of the cost of the excellent Olympus Fish eye but still very good. Some signs of aberration at the edges.

Frosty Walk at Wimpole Hall

We did not wake particularly early on Sunday morning (yesterday) and we decided that we would take a drive to Wimpole Hall. It was clear and frosty. A beautiful day for a walk.

Note to self - As we are retired we really should go on a weekday when there are less people about :)

I thought I would take my Olympus OMD EM1 kit out for a walk but as we were going to walk to the Folly I took my infrared camera. I am sure you can imagine what I said when we got there and I found that I had forgotten to put the memory card back in the infrared camera. So no IR pictures from this trip. As we did not need to actually go to the folly we spent most of our time between the house and the lake. When we arrived at the lake we found it frozen.
