East Coast Light
A last trip away before Megs holidays finish. Down the East coast to see friends.
All the way down we were in full sun, with dark, brooding light of the coast.
This is not exaggerated, but needed some post to really bring out the contrast. In the background is Coles Bay, a truly magical place, but a bit mythical looking here.
Not my usual thing, but I felt like pushuing these in black and white. The trick with mono is to not hold back. You are abstracting by definition, so dont let “reality” intrude on your minds eye.
Probaly my favourite, as it is a little cleaner than the one above.
My travel kit is usually a 12-60 Panasonic and Olympus 40-150 kit lenses. These are perfectly good quality wise, super light and the 12-60 is even weather sealed. If I need wider the 9mm is added and if the Pen F is packed for street (or even if it is not), I will take the 17 and 45mm primes also. This kit can do most things and weighs basically nothing excepting cameras (1-2 EM10 mk2’s or the Pen Mini are not bad, but the Pen F is a dead weight).
Also useful, the two zooms are 58mm and the primes 46mm filter size (1 with a step adapter).
