Fading Summer Light

in

Summer is fading fast, and the fall is a few short weeks away. Days can still be warm, but nights are cool and the air is clear. It’s a nice time of the year.

This image is taken with one of my older cameras, which is heavy, bulky and cumbersome to work with. Usually I use a tripod when I’m photographing with this camera, but I’ve never been a big fan of tripods. It’s too much faff and I get a chance to think twice about the motif, and then I loose sight of what caught my attention in the first place. This time I decided to leave the tripod at home, and test if my hands were stady enough.

Stump with Fungus

This stump is just down the road from where I live. I’ve walked past it many times, but it was only after I browsed through a couple of the photography books I have that I found the inspiration to go and take a photo of the stump. I decided to take one of my older cameras out for a spin. Well, older in the context of digital cameras. It is a bit quirky, and does not have the bells and whistles of a brand new digital camera, but the image quality is still more than good enough.
