The Bank Holiday Early Morning Mission

[Internaut]

This morning was a mission in two parts. The first part was to capture just two photos, as well as I possibly could, with my eyeball glued to the to the E-M1 mk II's EVF. I capture three. For the first, I think you get about half an hour of the correct light (direction and so on) so I needed to be up early and on location before 08:30.

I think the blanket carrying homeless beggar added to the moment (and might even have handed over a bit of money, accept no on, myself included, uses money anymore).

The next two, likewise, need to be captured quite early in the morning - the subject is backlit, from this location, for most of the day.

The second part of the mission was a more thorough test of the second hand Fujifilm X100F I've picked up. I might pen some thoughts on that, somewhere, at some point.

The early bird catches the photograph.

Very early has been the pattern for my lockdown walks. These from just after 7.15am this morning. Tim

Very nice. I had only just gotten out of bed at 07:15 (was out of the house thirty minutes later though).

Jason, I like your well composed and natural colour "morning walk" set very much, the last well timed shot in particular. .

I'm out at the shops at 8am twice a week to avoid the queues. Alas the high street is not quite so photogenic even when its clear of traffic.

Thanks. AWB did the job perfectly, and I appreciate being able to muck about with highlights, shadows and mid-tones behind the camera (I was in a JPEG mood).
