My Canvas for the World.
The February chill had subsided and a spring like day has begun with a sense of adventure. Jen and I met up with friends for an outing in the hill country. My wife had planned an event for us in the evening. Liking a good mystery, my interest was piqued.
The sun was setting and all would be revealed.
We parked and checked in and were handed two flat packed rice paper lanterns
The Olympus EM1 Mark II has a feature called Live Composite. It will allow you to take a single shot which forms the basis of the picture and over time it will add new light to the picture. It was dark when I started. Get the settings or picture you like, click the shutter and the images are composited.
Spending the last weekend of 2019 with my sweetie Jen, we had to find something to do. Austin has its charm on South Congress or “SoCo” for you non-locals. Street Photography is an absolute blast! While I had the Oly ready to go, I decided to run the Lumix (Bridge Camera) DMC-FZ200. It’s 25-600 f 2.8 lens got the job done! One thing to do is use the Art settings. I slipped it into Black and White and brought it with me. A stop at Jo’s Coffee to capture an unexpected patron.
The picture was captured in Black & White, no processing, cropping, or manipulation other than what the camera preset allows. Knowing your gear has an amazing benefit.
