CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

Over the past weekend I have come to know that Venice is one of the most photogenic places on the planet.  Around every corner is something else to photograph and you have to be quite choosy where you decide to point your lens.   Venice is well known and is also well photographed and it was with some trepidation that I first viewed the city through the viewfinder.  I did wonder if Venice would live up to the hype.  I am pleased to say that it certainly did. Here are some of the shots I took last weekend focusing on some of the details in Venice. As I posted yesterday, all of the images were shot on a Fujifilm X-Pro2 with either an 18mm f2 of 56mm f1.2 prime lens. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BLOG BY VISITING THE ADVERTISERS ON THIS PAGE By clicking on the adverts you are helpi...

When out and about with my camera I love looking for those little details to point my lens at.   Yesterday while in Edinburgh I spotted these old mechanical door bell pullers on a street just off the Royal Mile. I don't know if they were still operational but I suspect they were.   The bright red of the door and the blue of the wall contrasts nicely with the battered grey and black of the door bells. The image was shot with a Fujifilm X-Pro2 and a XF56mm f1.2 lens. I shot the image at f1.2 to give an extremely shallow depth of field and the resulting shutter speed was 1/1000s at 200 ISO. The image was shot in RAW and then run through the Nik Analog Efex software to complete the final image with an old classic feel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BLOG BY VISITING THE ADVERTISERS ON THIS PAGE By clicking on the adverts you are helping support...
