52 weeks in 2019

I thought week 3 would be tough, then I realized the answer was standing in front of me. This is my favorite tripod, Tek. He's one of our rescues. This guy overcomes, adapts, and improvises every day of his life.
Beautiful!

I've been planning this since the week's theme was announced. Just got around to trying it. Also, I thought I would do double duty and shoot for the monthly contest as well.

Honeywell Spotmatic with Super Takumar 28mm 3.5 shot with Super Takumar 50 1.4 with Pop Art filter and sunny flare.

These are my favorite climbing chocks. They have a unique taper on multiple sides that make them fit better into a flare than anything else. Flare being a crack in the rock that changes width along its depth.

Gutted I fell behind on this project, its been a mega busy start to the year at work, and I've been pulling together my entries for the local camera club's annual comp (excuses excuses!). I playing catch up but with photos taken in the correct time frame... hopefully these will count!

I covered a friends daughters 1st Birthday Party 19th Jan, my first time as a working photographer where the pressure was on to get a good set of photos (I'm going to take that as improvise, adapt, overcome #1). It was also my first time using a speedlight (I'm going to take that as improvise, adapt, overcome #2) and the unit arrived approximately 45 minutes before I turned up at the party... the drive was half an hour which gave me about 15 minutes to get to grips with it! Basically I winged it which I'm going to take as improvise, adapt, overcome #3. Here are a couple of photos from the party...

One of the wooden toys that my grandfather made for me before he passed when I was little. My daughter loves it, it's apparently a duck-dog named "flippy flappy"

Edit for context: All taken after dark with a Godox flash firing through a shoot through white umbrella, attached via sync cord since my radio triggers weren't working. The first is a wine stopper that my father in law turned for us as a gift along with another and some pens. I used a polarizer to kill some of the highlights on the round portion. The second is a family antique, a round(ish) clawfoot table, lit from above for the hard shadow at the edge. The third is an antique chest that holds our board games, I like the long split in the wood that runs its length. I shot that that one with light above and camera left, with a silver reflector camera right to illuminate the side. I think my third ever attempt at off camera flash. All photos with the P42.5/1.7.

Out on a winter walk earlier in the week with the intention of getting some nice shots of trees in an among the snow... came across a fallen tree and some fairy doors!

I know, other than fairies, who puts doors in tree knots. Is this an English thing

 

[CD77]

I don't know what you mean... I thought it was real fairies that made these!

One more wood. Ran across this today quite unexpectedly.

I drug my wife out to the Smokies to the Little Greenbrier schoolhouse for this week's challenge. It was the first thing that came to mind when the theme was posted. I have a similar shot with a different lens. This time I wanted a little more in the shot. Using the Leica Elmarit-R 28 2.8 + Kipon FR.
