Seems apt that I am only just posting photos from last year’s reading party considering that this year’s takes place 3 weeks from now.
Again with the trees/foliage because, well, TREES.
Then some lesser-spotted computer scientists amongst the trees.
It seems that age can’t hamper the gleeful happiness of playing in running water…
…but others may have their own ideas.
‘Spot the computer scientist’ 1/2.
2/2.
One paddle wasn’t enough, now everybody wants a go.
It was raining a bit when we went out & whilst the K20D & grip are weather sealed, the 28mm Sigma isn’t, so I put the Helios 44-M (Soviet M42 58mm f2) on instead as it wouldn’t be the end of the world if that £13 investment got wet!
Should’ve rotated this one a bit more anticlockwise…
I didn’t even notice the threads of spider web here until I looked at the photo on my computer – guess I got the manual focus right!
Not sure what the deal with the pink stuff in the top corner is, could be some nasty chromatic aberration around spider web.
Now this bit of spider web I did notice at the time.
Didn’t get this anything like I wanted. Would’ve had to stop down more, but was already at the limit of how steady my hands are at f2.
And of course there were the taps!
Including these extra longs ones!
I tried taking some panoramas of the seafront too, but nothing really came out.
Was using my new (secondhand) Tenba tripod for these. Surprisingly irritating shooting with such a shallow depth of field when the breeze causes the subject to move in & out of focus all the time!
