Just a couple of shots of my feet as I strode into work yesterday morning, all cropped square and very slightly manipulated in Filterstorm.

7/52-22 underexposed in late May
Not much to say about this set. I dropped exposure compensation back to -2 to get hand-holdable speeds at 5:45am in the parking lot at work (or maybe it was during the rainstorm and just to keep the D7000 from overexposing, as it’s wont to do with 3rd party lenses), and forgot tot check it …
7/52-21 Focusing Closely on Nature
Well, I planned for this to be Bug Week, and so strapped on the Vivitar 70-210mm, and put it in close-focus mode to facilitate bug-shooting, but it was not to be… too busy just not shooting, I guess.

These included the Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 ai, the Nikon 36-72mm f/3.5 E Series, the Nikon 75-150mm Zomb-E Series, and the Vivitar 70-210mm f/3.5 Series 1 (Kiron, maybe). I thought about going crazy …
The GSV, outside some mall somewhere
Not sure what I was working on that I ended up at the mall, but I was glad I did, since the GSV caught this gentleman coming out. Looks like he nearly got hit… Since the films and lenses don’t naturally show up in the LightBox, I’ve gone back and added them by hand. Say …
7/52-18 Reflections & Roses
Another week of not really thinking about the 7/52. I tried, I really did, but there was so much other excitement going on that I couldn’t really focus. I’m working on a new schedule for my not-working time that will allow for some quality photography time, and hope to implement it this week. My success …
